Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Per request.A quite a big revision of this circuit was made a couple of years ago making it a worthwhile addition to the blog. The general topology remains almost the same but lots of component values have been updated. Trimpots is added for easier biasing. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
Yet another modified Bluesbreaker. Did some mods that might be useful. First, Drain, resistors for the J FETs is replaced with trimpots for easy biasing. Two: internal DIP switches is replaced with external toggle switches.. The schematic is avaiable HERE.
With all the recent talk and hype of the DigiTech Bad Monkey lately, and the sky rocketing prices of them on Reverb, a layout seemed to be in order. I used to gig with one of these and loved the Low control on it. Helped it stand out compared to other TS-style ODs. So it’s … Read more
Schematic is avaiable HERE. And a requested layout without input and output buffers
Per request. A modified Colorsound Overdriver circuit with some bells and whistles. The most noticable one is the Ge switch which toggles in a germanium diode and a germanium transistor for hard clipping. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
