Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
This is a nice project, again from the Freestompboxes disection table. A very dynamic, natural sounding overdrive from Marc at Skreddy pedals. I know lots of guys out there have been asking for this. So here is a schematic 🙂 Demo video is here: Check out the full thread on the discussion of the Screwdriver … Read more
Well, well, well. I just built this thing up. What a suprise – I loved it, which is a suprise seeing as I loath the sound of the “Tube Sound Fuzz” that this circuit seems to have taken it’s inspiration from. I really love the Bias control and the tone control is very effective too. … Read more
I didn’t realise that I hadn’t posted this before. Anyhow, the Landgraff Dynamic Overdrive, is, wait for it, a Tubescreamer with a 2 position toggle switch to change the clipping diode type from simple silicon diodes to red LEDs. hmmmmmmm, it’s all very familiar… It’s got a great tone; Check out the schematic below… (See … Read more
Ok friends so we had posted earlier this month that we were gonna seek out the baddest, fattest, biggest sounding, sweetest voiced, cream of the crop Overdrive,Distortions, & Fuzz pedals we could find, well we found some real gems for you and we promise we won’t disappoint. These next few articles will also be the … Read more

Here it is, a mix of Zvex Super Hard On, Lovepedal COT50 and my very own Fred Briggs magic. My favourite circuit to date 🙂 Build it, it doesn’t disappoint!
Thanks again to the Freestompboxes community (samhambone for the original scheme and purplepeopleeater for the cleaned up version) we have a schematic for the Nick Greer Green Giant overdrive pedal. As you can see it’s a simple “Electra Overdrive” with a pot added between the diodes and the signal to raise the clipping threshold. It’s … Read more
I saw one of these: And in my dream I saw this: Something tells me they might somehow be related….
