Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
This is a request for my slight mods on Rick Holt’s Assassin of Silence Cascaded LPB Fuzz. It doesn’t really do much to to the original. Just omits the “fuzz” control and adds pair of schottky diodes for clipping. If you’re building this, you could easily make it even simpler by just omitting the Sludge … Read more
This was my take on the DBA Robot but with individual switching for the IC internal functions (Vibrato, Robot and any of the octave options on the fly) rather than the rotary switch used in the original. I thought it would be more versatile to be able to control them all individually rather than be … Read more

While it’s clear that no sole effect can alone … Read more
Nothing too special, but just a cool, high gain, straight forward modern Fuzz Face adaptation. Demo vid in spanish. Now verified. If you are experiencing oscillation with your build, try 100R resistor in place of 5.6 Ohm…
Request and it’s a quicky so I thought I’d do it while I had 5 minutes spare. This is Creepy Fingers Effects take on the silicon Fuzz Face, and is pretty much stock with a few changes and additions such as the 10 ohm resistor in series with Fuzz 3 to try to tame the … Read more

Throbak Electronics offers the Overdrive Boost. Throbak has reproduced and improved the circuit of the original Colorsound Overdriver (also known by the name Power Boost). The original was … Read more
Small and simple. Tim Escobedo’s adaptation of Interfax Harmonic percolator. This demo vid is not necessarily 1:1 with the schematic, but it should give you an idea what to expect…
Looks like a mash of Fuzz Face and Big Muff. Some of you might find this interesting… 🙂
