Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Hi there!. Hope everyone is ok out there during these strange times. Just wanted say that due to covid-19 I got lots to work to do and simply don’t have the time and mostly of the time I don’t have access to the blog. I will post at least one new layout a week and … Read more
First post, huh!? For what? Well, just a library of stripboard/vero layouts. Mosttly fuzzes, distortions and overdrives with some modulation and filter effects thrown in. This place isn’t a blog per se, instead it is a resource and library for any DIY’er ou there which loves dirty sounds, solder fumes and old transistors. Almost all … Read more
We’ve been posting tagboard and vero layouts for 5 years now and with myself and Miro being quiet for a while people have expressed some concern about where the site is going. We have no intention of giving up on DIY but sometimes personal commitments take over and talking from a personal perspective a combination … Read more
This has been requested by lots of people in the US. Bitsbox are a fantastic resource for this site supplying kits and other parts to many destinations around the world, but unfortunately the insurance requirement for shipping goods to the US became prohibitively expensive for some businesses over here and so they had to make … Read more
Going into our 5th year online, the Briggs Unknown Fuzz has become the site’s 600th verified layout, thanks to Neil for verifying that one. When I did the first 100th Verified Layout! post I didn’t have any intention of doing them every 100. I was just amazed that we’d got it up to 100 and … Read more
This is truly amazing. Madferrect cracked the ETI Struzz/Fuzz today and… We now have 500 verified layouts. It’s not that long since Mark wrote a note for 400. List of unverified ones is quite long too and there may be some interesting boards still unbuild. Seems like we have a few new active people doing … Read more
Another milestone hit, the 400th verified layout which is really amazing. 300 layouts verified since last March! Thanks to everyone who has contributed to verifications and/or discussions, and to Miro who has really helped me out and is on fire at the moment churning out layouts like a machine. We have so many regular contributors … Read more
If you look at the top menu you’ll see a new forum has been added to the blog. This is pretty simple stuff but I think it’s a much better option than the Whatever page and will give us a platform for requests, and also general troubleshooting (although we’d still like to keep pedal specific … Read more
All the very best to everyone and hope you have a fantastic Christmas. I think Miro and myself will probably be too drunk to post much for the next few days, so if we don’t make it, see you all in the new year :o)
I had to post this because it’s another site milestone. 317 verified layouts, 7600+ comments and we’ve finally got to a million hits. Here’s the stats page from the admin panel which show how much traffic has increased nicely since the blog opened in 2008. And look at the top posts, all ZVex! Thanks guys … Read more
