Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Foxx sold a couple of wah variants in the early 70s, often combined with a Foxx Tone Machine circuit. There was an inductorless version and a Cry Baby variant with a 4 posistion “Wah Tone” selector switch. This layout is for the inductorless version. HERE is the schematic.
After recently finishing a mojo size / vintage transistor Tone Machine that has been sitting on the bench for way too long, I decided to do a regular layout, as the practicality of some of my other layouts for the Foxx is probably not for everyone (maybe even me in retrospect). So I’ve done a standard … Read more
Updated Foxx Tone Machine layout on 0.15″ vero. This was inspired by the Aion mods – if you are unfamiliar with the Aion Vulcan, it’s a Tone Machine with a modded EQ section (which is great) and an additional bypass option on one of the diodes – also a cool addition. I’ve tweaked a few … Read more
The last mojo layout for a while. This one isn’t one of the classics, quite the opposite. It isne of the rarest vintage fuzzes out there and for the longest time noone knew what the circuit was like until Deadend Fx managed to trace it a couple of years ago. It is a quite heavy … Read more
The somewhat misleadingly named Foxx Clean Machine is lesser known than the other famous Foxx. Three gain stages stack via a rotary switch, then out via a standard volume pot. The result – dirt… dirt and more dirt. FOXX CLEAN MACHINE – VERO LAYOUT
One of my favourites – the Foxx Tone Machine. I’ve posted a couple of layouts, one stock, the other is the Aion FX Vulcan. The Aion FX mods make the Foxx even better – I prefer it with the mid switch mod. The mid switch mod really gives this circuit a lot more range. … Read more
Happy Fuzz Friday, everybody! The Select-A-Fuzz is a pretty interesting fuzz box from Foxx. It has a rotary switch to select the input cap (the larger the cap the fuzzier the effect), followed by a Fuzz Face-esque stage and an extra gain stage. Here’s the schematic for reference with some good notes on alternative transistors … Read more
