Escobedo MOSFET Duende
Here’s a simple MOSFET-based booster circuit that’d be a nice alternative to the SHO. Should fit in a 1590A. FYI, the 1N4739 diode in the layout is a 9.1v zener. Here’s the schematic for reference.
Escobedo T.M.K.
Here’s a really cool one designed by the great Tim Escobedo. T.M.K. = Too Many Knobs. (And you thought the Fuzz Factory had too many) It’s part fuzz box, part noise maker and would probably be just as much at home on a synth rack as it would be on a pedal board. This can … Read more
Black Arts Toneworks Fnord
Got a little Eagle excursion for Fuzz Friday. Here’s the Fnord from Black Arts Toneworks. It’s pretty much the same as the Escobedo Digital Octaver Fuzz with an added diode lift switch (though that’s jumpered in the originals). It’s a pretty gnarly fuzz with a wide range of tones. For you perfboard builders you should … Read more
Escobedo Tytewadd
Here’s a quicky from the Folk Urban schematic archive for #FuzzFriday. It’s a simple circuit with low power draw, so if you use batteries, this one won’t drain it for a while. Q1 can be any medium to high NPN silicon.
JHS MiniBomb
Here’s a simple clean boost circuit built by JHS. It’s really just the Tim Escobedo Duente JFET boost with a fixed resistor instead of a trimmer. Because of that you probably want to socket that resistor (5.1k) and adjust to the J201 you use. Or you can just squeeze a 25k trimmer on there like … Read more
Escobedo Idiot Wah
Here’s a quicky designed by Tim Escobedo. It’s an inductor-less wah, and you can use either a pot or an LDR to control the effect. It’s small enough to fit in a 1590a if you want a fixed wah in a small package. Resonance switch is a SPST.
Escobedo Ugly Face
Today’s #fuzzfriday is an Tim Escobedo design: the Ugly Face. Here’s what he had to say about it: The Uglyface is a completely all-out fuzz unit for fat, noisy buzzsaw sounds. P1 sets the threshold for triggering the fuzz. This characteristic also means that notes can fade out abruptly when they decay below the set … Read more
