Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
I personally enjoyed the AF-100 BeeBaa design a lot, so once i noticed that this existed – i just had to draw it up. Slave to my own habits, i “modernized” the transistor pinouts to match those everyone have in their drawers. Original has 2SC1000GRs in them, so your usual suspects should work just fine … Read more
The FX52 Classic Fuzz duplicates the sound of the early 60s distortion boxes, such as the Fuzz Face and the Fuzz Tone. A must for musicians looking for a more nostalgic sound.
Yay February. Just 111 to beat this month Miro :o) I think I’m going to get a few questions about this one, although a look at the front of the Deluxe at the graphical links between switches and pots will probably give a good clue how this one works if you aren’t already familiar. A … Read more
There was a mistake on the layout, that’s now fixed. This calls for both +9V and -9V supply. Use of inverter pump daughter board is recommended. The GEU is good sounding octave fuzz, with an optional mode of just fuzz. The fuzz is a fully rectified signal and is quite chewy. For some the Fuzz … Read more
Another request. Aron Nelson’s Lava Rim 2. I have no clue why the input level control pot is called “Bias”. That’s the reason why i used quote marks around it…
And another request. From Culturejam designs. Note from the Man himself: I’d recommend going with a higher value for that 47R resistor. Try 220R, 330R, or 470R. Or even a little higher. The lower the value, the more gain there is, but it’s really noisy at 47R. Like, unusable noisy, at least on my test build.
This is ARC Effects take on the Burns Buzzaround with a negative voltage inverter to provide -9V to allow you to maintain a daisy chainable negative ground, but use the better quality PNP germanium transistors. This is a mojo version as per the first edition of the pedal. ARC Effects make some fantastic pedals and … Read more
Pretty close to the earlier version of Jen Fuzz, and i may have promised not to do Fuzz Faces nor Benders, but here i go again… Seems to be a classic – so some of you might want to clone this one to the specs too.
Request. As everyone knows this is Mike Fuller’s version of the Fuzz Face, but it has something that we haven’t included in the multitude of Fuzz Face layouts we have on the site so I thought it was worth adding a mojo layout. Sticking two fingers up at convention Mike called what most would consider … Read more
