Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Have anyone heard of this one? This is a a super rare distortion unit with clean blend and octave up. There is no sound demos online but the lucky few ones that have played one says it is quite a wild sounding circuit. Schematic is a avaiable at Deadend Fx.
After recently finishing a mojo size / vintage transistor Tone Machine that has been sitting on the bench for way too long, I decided to do a regular layout, as the practicality of some of my other layouts for the Foxx is probably not for everyone (maybe even me in retrospect). So I’ve done a standard … Read more
A tweaked Foxx Tone Machine that some people have requested. Once again it is traced by TOFO. So what makes it different from a stock Tone Machine? Lots of oddball resistor values, twice as big input, output and decoupling caps, Shottky diodes and a Mid Boost switch at the tonestack which can be subbed for … Read more
This one have been requested a few times. Factory schematic had a few bugs (as with most DODs) so this layout is based on the schematic by Griffin Fx for their Buzz King project.
One of the more innovative fuzz designs out there. This is a quite a crazy octave up fuzz in the vein of Octavia and Scrambler with the Offset control dialed up. Roll it back for less octave and a pronounced swell effect.
An old request. It is a biggie but I’m sure someone will tackle this anyway *cough, cough…Chris*.;-)
Chris Stelloh sent me an old handrawn factory(?) schematic of this old glitchy octave down fuzz (once again, thanks Chris!). It is obviusly inspired by MXR Blue Box but several tweaks and mods had been done such a “Normal” control for clean signal and an octave switch. The original schematic was quite a mess so … Read more
Updated Foxx Tone Machine layout on 0.15″ vero. This was inspired by the Aion mods – if you are unfamiliar with the Aion Vulcan, it’s a Tone Machine with a modded EQ section (which is great) and an additional bypass option on one of the diodes – also a cool addition. I’ve tweaked a few … Read more
