Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
A pretty cool design, this. A FET booster that slams a FET Fuzz Face with hard clipping LEDs. All 10k Source resistors is replaced with trimpots for yeasy biasingg. A big thank you to Deadend Fx for the trace of this rare bird that was old in Japan in limited quantites before the millenium. Schematic … Read more
mellasse sent me a schematic for an old Guytatone fuzz, Guyatone DS2 Sustainer. Looking at the schematic I noticed it was really similar to another Guyatone offering, HD Harmonic Distortion. The main difference is the tonestack, HD2 is scooped and SD2 is more mid focused. So this layout have a switch for both SD2 and … Read more
Traced by Gray Bench Electronics. It is basically a heavilly tweaked hybrid Tonebender Mk. II. I added an anti pop resistor at the input and reoriented the 4,7uF cap. Schematic and teardown video is avaiable HERE.
Traced by evilarsen, AlexS and Marco. evilarsen did the dirty work by building and verifying the board. …and here is evilarsens build.
Another guest appearance with a verified layout by Chris at Capitalist Death Cult! Here is what he has to say about this bass fuzz monster: Capitali$t Death Cult Effect$ YUKAGIR Preserved Siberian Fuzz The Yukagir (pronounced Yookahgeer) Preserved Siberian Fuzz is named after a 39K year old Wooly Mammoth fossil that was unearthed in … Read more
A rare bird in the Colorsound range. Some additional mods can be made. Replace the 3,9k resistor with a 10k pot for a Freq control. And try a PNP Germanium for Q1 which smoothens the feel of the formant filter.. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
A recovery stage is needed because of the lossy tonestack Here is an another layout with an added BJT boost stage.
Schematic is avaiable HERE. There is two layouts for this one. One for an audio transformer and one for a fasel inductor. Transformer layout Fasel inductor layout.
