Fred Briggs – Hummingbird Overdrive

13 Jun 202629 Jul 2009 by chords

Here’s another one. I’ve had a lot of emails for this one. The best way I can describe it is as an “enhancer” – it makes and already good overdrive tone better! It produces a great low overdrive, the compression and shimmer controls are very interactive with regard to both the gain/clipping structure and the … Read more

Emma – ReezaFRATzitz

13 Jun 202631 Mar 2009 by chords

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
