COLORSOUND x D*A*M: Fuzz Sound
Following on from the previous post, this is the D*A*M version of the Colorsound Fuzz Sound. Thread on the D*A*M forum can be found here. Basically take a D*A*M Fuzz Sound, and change the Fuzz pot to an internal trimmer. Unlike the regular Park 2 knob with a large 25u coupling cap between the darlington … Read more

It’s the red box version, here’s the thread on FSB with the schematic etc. Like so many vintage effects, there seems to be a few versions of the circuit. VOX DISTORTION BOOSTER … Read more
