Fuzz Face PNP negative ground with simple bipolar power supply
This one will let you continue to use the more consistent PNP germanium transistors, but the charge pump will provide a -9V supply, so the ground at 0V can be daisy chained with all your negative ground effects. The same structure could be used with any circuit that is usually PNP like the Rangemaster or … Read more
DAM Meathead
Info about the original: The Meathead. Often imitated, never surpassed. Little box, big idea. Caveman style fuzz tones for killing dinosaurs. Crank it up and hit that switch. Ka-pow! The flavour is thick and raw with a throaty woody bark. Optimum clarity and saturation are delivered with a long syrupy sustain at mountainous volumes. The … Read more
Fuzz Face PNP – Tagboard
It’s been a while since I’ve done a tagboard layout and this was a startling omission that someone requested.
Catalinbread Merkin Fuzz
Info about the original: The Catalinbread Merkin is a fuzz pedal that’s just ‘rite’ for classic sixties fuzz sounds and beyond! Extended and refined from a classic fuzz circuit, this 3 silicon transistor circuit is very textural, varying from blunt to ripping. It’s controls are simple, a volume, and a texture knob with huge range, … Read more
Mosrite Fuzzrite
There’s a few versions of this on here now, so just choose the one that best suits the components you’re using.
Zvex – Fuzz Factory
[Lots of pretty custom shop Fuzz Factories] For mere completeness – and to stop me getting so many emails 😉 Here is the schematic a vero board layout for the ever famous Zvex Fuzz Factory, crazy fuzz sounds galore. And, a few actually useful ones too (If you tweak for long enough – don’t forget … Read more
