Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
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
I’ve been working on this pedal for around two months now. From conception to completion it is the longest I’ve ever spent on a stompbox project. I think it’s paid off. Prepare yourself for some “mojo” chatter, here it goes – The original idea was to create something a little like the BJF Honeybee Overdrive … Read more
In my previous post HERE I showed how I’d turned a Behringer RM600 Reverb Machine from useless to great. After multiple requests; here is the schematic that I used for my switching and mixing sections: As you can see I used a Super Hard On for the PreGain circuit and to buffer up the front … Read more
FOR INFO ON HOW I DID THIS CHECK HERE! I’ve been working on this for a few days now. I purchased one of these: http://www.behringer.com/EN/Products/RV600.aspx, a Behringer RV600 Reverb Machine for a couple of quid. It’s supposed to be a replica of the Line 6 Verbzilla pedal (more info on that one here: http://line6.com/tonecore/verbzilla.html) and it does … Read more
Woooooo. Thanks to FSB we once again have a fresh project over at freestompboxes.org. The Way Huge Aqua Puss has, for a very long time, been the holy grail for analogue delay freaks. Well Joe Gore was kind enough to donate his to the cause and took some great gutshots which allowed a schematic to … Read more

http://freestompboxes.chipin.com/bjf-honey-bee-pedal-to-be-traced That’s what some want to see! Visit the above link to contribute or visit the freestompboxes forum to read the *huge* thread regarding this wonderful gain box 🙂
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!
Here is an interesting take on the classic fuzz face design. Note fun “Sag” control and the piggy backed transistors which allow you to tailor the gain of the first transistor just to taste 🙂 This thing can go from light overdrive to full of spatter fuzz depending on your guitar volume and the sag … Read more
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
