Seppuku Octave Drone
Here’s the Octave Drone from Seppuku FX. Like the Space Fuzz, it too is based on the Rambler. In fact, the Octave Drone is more than half of the Space Fuzz. This has as input switch that goes between a 4.7nf cap and a 100nf cap, much like like the Hot Silicon Tonebender. You could … Read more
Seppuku Space Fuzz
The Space Fuzz is a a loud, in your face fuzz/octave box from Japan builder Seppuku FX. It’s partially based on the Tim Escobedo Rambler, with a couple other stages thrown in (including the Bazz Fuss). It has a pretty wide range of tones and can get a little splattery at the end of sustained … Read more
G2D Morpheus
The Morpheus is a high gain distortion designed for metal players. It comes with the warning: “A hard out distortion pedal not for the faint of heart.” It promises big low end and crunchy highs. Here’s a demo: The power filtering on this seems a bit extreme to me, but I’ve laid it out with … Read more

It also has the ability to modulate over an octave as well as control the waveform of the modulator, giving you a huge range of tonal … Read more
Valve WizardEntropy Chorus
Stumbled across this effect while looking for a completely different schematic. It’s a low cost chorus designed by Merlin Blencowe (here’s his schematic for reference), using a PT2399. It generates deep modulation and a very thick warble (here’s a sound clip).
Marshall Guv’nor
The Marshall Guv’nor is one of the more highly regarded overdrive/distortion pedals of the late 80s, early 90s. With it’s amp-like dynamics and a wide range of versatile tones, the Mk. I version of this pedal is still highly sought after. Many artists have used it, though Gary Moore is most associated with it, thanks … Read more
Analogman Sunface
The Sunface is a clone of the Dallas Arbiter Fuzz Face, with a few tweaks. First, it has a 50k trimmer at the input of the circuit so you can adjust the pregain (it works exactly like the volume pot on your guitar), second it has an external control for biasing Q2 (the Sundial). Original … Read more
