Ibanez BN5 Black Noise
An old request. This is pretty much a Rat with an active treble control and two fixed eq gyrators making it quite bass heavy. Lots of mods can be done like a diode switch, tweaking the gyrators and the tonestack as well as tweaking the RC filter at the first gainstage.
Ibanez EM5 Echomachine Delay
Factory schematic is avaiable HERE. Deadend Fx has a good trimpot setup guide HERE.
Ibanez LA Metal LM7
A quite interesting Rat derivate which is also found the “LA” mode in the newly released PackRat pedal from JHS. Schematic is avaiable HERE.

The tone stack fixes the bass response to some degree, providing a more even sweep across the range. … Read more
Ibanez No. 58 Standard Wau Fuzz – Fuzz section
Similar to the Ibanez No 59 Standard Fuzz but with a different tone section and a few extra resistors. If you want a bit more overall output level, 47k resistor connecting to Balance 3 could be can be replaced with a small value or a jumper. Another useful mod is to sub the germanium diodes … Read more
