Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Just a little one from the Bosstone family. This is said to have been used in MSA Pedal Steel guitars, and it’s basically a slight variation on the Nashville Bosstone circuit. These can be a bit noisy, so really have to watch your wiring and try for quite low gain on Q1. It can … Read more
Happy Fuzz Friday, all! Recently I got a request for the new EQD Hizumitas. Found a schematic for it over on FSB and it’s just a BMP. The values are tweaked, but the topology is the exact same as a standard Muff. If you’ve hung around here for really any length of time you know … Read more
A nice simple one – the Jordan Boss Tone. JORDAN BOSS TONE V1 – POINT TO POINT LAYOUT The California version. JORDAN BOSS TONE V2 – POINT TO POINT LAYOUT Still the California version, with a few minor variations. JORDAN BOSS TONE V3 – POINT TO POINT LAYOUT This is the NPN / PNP transistor … Read more
This one was a request. It’s another layout for Jordan BossTone, but with onboard pots. Because of the onboard pots I was able to add an anti-popping pull down resistor on the input. Q1 is NPN silicon (so 2N2222 or 2N3904) and Q2 is PNP silicon (2N2907 or 2N3906). The pot centers are 1.2 inches … Read more
Many associate this pedal with the fuzz tone for “Spirit in the Sky” by Prodigal Son, though I’m fairly sure that theory has been debunked. At any rate, it’s a great sounding fuzz, and should be a fairly easy build.
