Skreddy

Skreddy’s description: Smooth, Intense, Sustaining Distortion Tight and aggressive fuzz/distortion Lay into the notes for that deep, harmonic saturation and violin-like sustain.  All your detail and articulation are preserved throughout the sustain knob’s travel.  Not too much bass, not too much high end–well balanced tone.  Low noise floor, too!

I may as well add some of the others while I’m at it! :o) From the Skreddy website: A vintage, 4-transistor distortion, made with meticulous regard to detail.  All audio electronics are the same as used circa 1971.  Modern upgrades include DC power, LED on/off indicator, and true bypass switching.

Here’s the layout for another rare Skreddy effect, like the Mayo posted previously.  Info from the builder: Based on the “triangle-knob” circa 1971 4-transistor fuzz, but I’ve changed the input capacitor to a more saturated-sounding type like the circa 1973 ‘rams head’ version fuzz. From there, I’ve tightened up the bass and smoothed out the … Read more

I’ve done a few Skreddy layouts, but to be fair to the man here’s one of his discontinued effects to start off with.  If you want to build an authentic one using the original transistors you’ll need to find some high gain 2N5133s to use.  You do find them on eBay but the last seller … Read more
