Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Phew, February has been a wild month here on the blog so lets end it with a BANG. This one is based on Tim Escobedo’s DIY classic, Ugly Face with quite a few added bells and whistles such as a optical LFO section, separate starve control for two of the chips and some tweaked values … Read more

Traced by Unsound Circuitry, once again, thanks, mate! It is a well known fact that this is a modified Ge Fuzz Face. The stock Fuzz control is ditched and replaced with a “Pre Gain2 control. It runs on normal power supply and is powered by soviet MP37B NPN germanium transistors. These are usually faily low … Read more

And also depressing in the world, in general. So I’ve been drawing more layouts. I was inspired by both the Dead Air Sawzall, and … Read more

It seems that silicon transistors in the 150-200 hFe range works best in this circuit. *Update 240203* Reeves Electro got in touch with Gray Bench since two of the pot values was incorrect … Read more
