Devi Ever Ruby
Info from Devi about the original: The Ruby is like a Tone Bender, but way classier and secretly more misogynistic. Short and sweet! :o)
Fuzz
Lovepedal Silicon Fuzzmaster
Request. This was traced from some pics and a PCB layout. It’s a negative ground YAFF with PNP silicon transistors for some reason. From the Lovepedal spiel: Your quest for the ultimate Fuzz ends here. Lots of players use it like an OD pedal or full on fuzz, even distortion.. Roll back the guitar’s volume … Read more
NPN Silicon Fuzz Face – Germanium Emulation
From an older thread on FSB and DIYSB about using two pairs of piggybacked silicon transistors to have control over the gain. To paraphrase, these were the main points: 1. Take two identical random silicon transistors (for more mojo: your fav fuzz silicons)2. Tie the BASES together,3. Cut off one COLLECTOR4. connect a 3k to … Read more
Skreddy P19
Just to give mirosol a bigger headache deciding which Skreddy pedal to build next …. :o) Info from Marc about the excellent original: Specifically tuned to the sound of a block-buster 1979 album and emulates the “magic” 70’s era fuzz pedal that was somehow clear and articulate on high notes while still fuzzy and aggressive … Read more
Austone Textone Fuzz Nutz
Manufacturer’s description: Each component is hand tested and selected in this hand- built discrete circuitry beauty. Has more crunch than the original Fuzz Nutz due to an extra gain stage and a tone control. A sustain and crunch monster! Very British sounding. The Textone control rolls off the high end for a singing woman tone, … Read more
Rab Fuzz – modified Kay Fuzz Tone
And the other request, a slightly modified and modernised version using more common transistors. Something to do with the second wah shell you’ve got lying around! :o)
Kay F1 Fuzz Tone
Request. A nice little project here for an unused wah shell you may have lying around. The transistors may be difficult to source so I’ve laid this out based on 2N5088 for Q1 & Q2, and 2N3904 for Q3 & Q4.
Death By Audio – Harmonic Transformer
A huge pedal with a huge sound. Complete with enough alien noises to freak out your listeners. Direct crazy intermodulating distortion to make unique music with. The Harmonic Transformer is an extremely loud and intense fuzz pedal which is very interactive with the incoming signal ranging from over the top to bizzare.
Ampeg Scrambler
Info from the manufacturer: The AMPEG Scrambler was designed in response to requests for a distortion device that was flexible, easy to use, and most importantly, musical. Inherent performance limitations of all designs on the market precluded one or more of the aforementioned requisites. New concepts and methods were researched and tested by leading musicians … Read more
