Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
And more Tone Bending… just make sure you add a decent size capacitor to decouple the output, I doubt anyone wants / needs stray DC escaping your fuzz. MARSHALL SUPAFUZZ PROTOTYPE – TAG BOARD LAYOUT MARSHALL SUPAFUZZ PROTOTYPE – VIDEO
Just to continue on Tone Benders for a little longer… Marshall SupaFuzz on tag board. MARSHALL SUPAFUZZ – TAG BOARD LAYOUT
This is the early version of the Marshall SupaFuzz based on a Tone Bender MKI – it’s close to the original layout used. Strangely it never had a coupling cap on the output, so best to add something decent sized there. I’ve also seen a couple of photos with a power cap across V+ … Read more
This is the original 1968 0.15″ vero layout for the Marshall SupaFuzz (which may be disputed by some). The cuts may not be in the exact positions as the original, but no matter… same with Filter pin 3 connection. This may be on the other side of the board, but that makes no real … Read more
Basically the Marshall Supa Fuzz is a Sola Sound Tone Bender MKII, but with some different capacitor values and it uses Mullard OC75s for all three transistors. It sounds killer, and cleans up really nicely using the volume control on the guitar. When you hear the fuzz, it’s hard to imagine the clean sound, the fuzz … Read more
Here’s another layout that needed a refresh/correction. Old layout was pretty trash and had a few errors which have all be resolved. Similar to the Blues Breaker (at least in circuit topography), but with a 3-band EQ and hard clipping. Bit more gain and distortion on tap. Here’s the schematic for reference. Should fit nicely in … Read more
