Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Gus Smalley’s “Octave Up Sick Box”. And demonstative video from one cool dude who’s been around the blog sometimes too. He also has a few words of wisdom to share! Check it out! Built it using 1N60Ps for D1&D2, 1N4148s for D3-D6. Works like a charm. Well. A sick charm, but still 🙂 And here’s … Read more
Masaru Kubota’s take on Fuzz Face. Pretty nice. Info: This is the Orion Fuzz. When I first published this webpage, I suggested the option of replacing the phase network of The Allies Fuzz with an RC network. Pretty simple, just connect the capacitor going to the emitter junction of the second stage to ground instead. It’s … Read more
One more Devi circuit for now. I’m still putting an emphasis on how you should support her. Get her kits!
Joe Gagan’s Easy Face hybrid Fuzz Face with input cap blend control – as requested. You should get away with almost any PNP germanium as there’s 2N3096 driving it. Documentation states that the trimmer should be used to get ~4.5V on Q2 collector – I suggest you tune it by ear 🙂 This one uses … Read more
Adding to Devi library. Devi is definitely one of the good people in the industry. Can’t say this enough. You should most definitely think about getting kits (and why not production pedals) from her Etsy page. Her pricing is very appealing too…
We had some deficit on basic Devi circuits. I’m fully aware that these circuits are not for everyone, but i personally enjoy Devi’s amazing work a lot. To support her, you should most definitely think about getting kits (and why not production pedals) from her Etsy page. Her pricing is very appealing too…
Let’s have a super noisy and fuzzy saturday! From effdub: I really like the Fuzz Factory pedal, but I never use the Gate or Stability knobs, so I thought it would be cool to slap together a circuit somewhere in the F.Factory neighborhood but with all the wacky noise-maker type sounds cut out. Also, I wanted … Read more
Thought some might want to clone this… 🙂 — *Note: There are a few schematics around. One has B10K pot for “Boost” and other A100K. I put in B100K as that pot due to discussion below.. 100K should make it a bit louder, and linear taper should make the sweep feel, well, louder. But use … Read more
Newer, much much more complicated circuit has been around for years, but i thought i’d swoop up a layout for the simpler, older V1 version of the Experimentalists Anonymous Parallel Universe self-oscillating fuzz. So, noise freaks, here you go:
The original Little Big Muff from the 70s which included just a volume knob and tone switch. To compare it to a conventional 3 pot Big Muff, the circuit is set up as if having a fuzz pot in the full clockwise rotation, so I suppose Electro Harmonix decided that most people would use it … Read more
