So it’s a Super Fuzz… well, almost. The Ibanez No59 Standard Fuzz has a JFET booster, as opposed to the more complicated 2 x transistor arrangement in the Univox Super Fuzz, and a very slight change in the tone filter section; apart from that, same same. It’s more Super Fuzz than the Ibanez Standard Wau Fuzz, … Read more
The Ibanez Standard Wau Fuzz is a variation on the Univox Super Fuzz (like so many others). It’s slightly more compact as it uses a JFET instead of 2 x transistors to boost the signal. IBANEZ STANDARD WAU FUZZ – VERO LAYOUT
Unverified One of the better TS variants according most TS lovers. Original had a 20kC dual gang pot for the Mid Boost control and since these are nearly impossible to source this layout has Mid Boost section modified (lifted from Aion Electronics Cirrus project) to use a 100kC dual gang pot which is readily avaiable. … Read more
It’s New Years Eve and time for the last layout of 2019 and I’m pretty sure it’s the 800th on the blog! So here’s the Mostortion. Why is it called that? The CA3260E opamp at it’s core is MOSFET based. Unfortunately, this chip has been discontinued, so building a straight clone may be a little … Read more
Time for some bass distortion. This one’s a RAT with an input buffer and soft clipping instead of hard. Apparently these were built on the same PCB as the Fat Cat and LA Metal. For a drilling template just use the Fat Cat one.
Had a recent request for this one and thought it’d be a nice break from overdrives. Part of the Ibanez 10-series, it’s a noise gate that utilizes the LM1894 noise control chip. You can still get the chip off eBay and the SMD version is available from Arrow, Mouser, etc. You can wire it for … Read more
