Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Here’s one more from the ROG archives. Apparently amazing sounding OD/dist. Should be doable in 1590B, if you feel brave enough with the rotary ð From ROG: Back in the mid-90s, the Matchless DC/30 became one of the first boutique amps to hit the market. It excelled at clean tones, as well as thick Vox-like … Read more
Modded Blues Breaker.. Personally i have pretty high hopes for the circuit… Thereâs a lot of hype out there these days with overdrive pedals and the last thing we want to do is to add to the noise. As you may already know, almost every boutique overdrive on the market is a modified Tubescreamer of … Read more
A couple of the electro caps look to be the wrong way round to me but this is definitely as per the scheme and it was by Dirk and so a trusted source. Info about the original: The EarthQuaker Devices Crimson Drive is an all-analog, dynamic overdrive that uses a germanium transistor and vintage germanium … Read more
Classic dual overdrive. The original 1969 plug-in Muff Fuzz had just a touch of overdrive and sounded like a vintage amp with a slightly torn speaker. We paired two of these together in one box to create the Double Muff. Use just one Muff for a hint of milky distortion, or cascade the second Muff … Read more

The 159th Lovepedal Electra. Info about the original: The Lovepedal Les Lius features a three way toggle switch that allows you to change tones from 5E3 Woody (Tweed Fender Deluxe), High Power Twin (50âēs Fender Twin) and Master Volume Tchula (combination of both the 5E3 Woody and the High Power Twin). The amount of VOLUME … Read more
Very nice adaptation of Colorsound Overdriver with a few very nice mods. And the manufacturer isn’t shy about telling us where the circuit came from. Very nice. Throbak Electronics offers the Overdrive Boost. Throbak has reproduced and improved the circuit of the original Colorsound Overdriver (also known by the name Power Boost). The original was … Read more
Bajaman modded version of the humble 9V tube circuit. Tube section and output buffer have seen a quite nice remodelling job ð You could run this with 12V too, but not higher as the tube heater filaments are not meant to handle higher DC voltages. Try out other tubes like 12AU7 in there too… This … Read more
