Shin-Ei FY-2 Companion Fuzz with mods
Did this layout a while back and built it. Where the original FY-2 is sluggish on output level and the overall sound is quite thin and nasal, i noticed a couple of nice mods for the circuit. GGG has added simple one transistor amplifier at the output to deal with the volume issues and I<3Fuzz … Read more
Moosapotamus Acoustic 360 Bass Fuzz
Another from John K, this time the Moosapotamus Acoustic 360 Bass Fuzz. Info from them about their project: I love the sound of fuzz bass. But as a bass player, it sometimes seems like I’ve been on an endless quest for a great sounding bass fuzz circuit. I’ve tried quite a few different ones, both … Read more
Demeter Fuzzulator
This design was pretty awkward to get down to a reasonable size due to two opamps, a trimmer and mere ten diodes on board. I’m not liking the asymmetry, but i still fitted it in a quite compact size. In the demos, this one sounds like a nice and creamy opamp fuzz.. From Demeter site: … Read more
Mid-Fi Electronics Demo Tape Fuzz
Request. Info about the original which I think is a great sounding fuzz: created to recreate the sound of a guitar playing directly through a 4-track cassette recorder, the Demo Tape will bring you back to your 4-track days. spatty supersaturation and harsh to thick and full, the Demo Tape comes equipped with a two … Read more
Black Arts Toneworks Fnord
One for you glitchy octavey fuzz fans. Info about the original: The Fnord is a octaver / fuzz type circuit with some twists. It blends a scrambler / octaver type fuzz with a more traditional fuzz / distortion. From zipper/Velcro tones to a full throated distortion, or a combination of the two. Add a sizzle … Read more
Screaming Baby Amplifiers Flower Power Analog Distortion
So it apperars to be a silicon PNP FF with diode clipping at the output. Original is point-to-point, but with this layout you’ll fit yours in 1590A with some careful measuring. Although the positive ground may come as a problem with that size… From FXDB: ‘FLOWERPOWER’ VINTAGE VOICED ANALOG DISTORTION FUZZ BOX!!! True to vintage … Read more
Joe Davisson Shocktave
For some reason none of us got my CJ Downbox v2 layout to work. That was a bit of a mystery since the schematic was working correctly on my breadboard, but even though the layout did not have any errors, the flip-flop simply refused to work. I had taken the layout down a long ago … Read more
Pink Jimi Photon Stupid Simple Overdrive
Another great sounding quicky from Jimi, no pots or toggles and so a nice 1590A build, although I’m sure Javi will manage to get it in a thimble :o)
Roger Mayer Octavia
Strange. I thought we had this already covered, but apparently not. The layout didn’t turn out as compact as i hoped, but there’s still some symmetry in there and at 21×15 it will with in 1590B with ease. So this is the original transformerless Octavia that comes in Rocket enclosure. Apparently the last version Mr. … Read more
