Happy Fuzz Friday, all! Here’s a cool silicon Tone Bender style fuzz from Solid Gold Fx. Aside from using silicon transistors, the first stage is a JFET. When the switch is closed it adds in a 4.7uF input cap in parallel with the 330pF input cap. You could replace the switch with a B100k pot … Read more
Here’s an interesting take on the classic DOD 250/MXR Distortion + circuit. It’s pushed by a simple BJT boost and has an added presence control and tone switch. Schematic here. Easy to fit in a 1590B or 125B.
Happy Fuzz Friday, everyone! Here’s a nice little modded Fuzz Face from SolidGoldFx. The switch selects between input caps and the Bias pot adjusts the voltages to Q2. Other transistors can be used beside the BC183C in the original. As usual, sockets are your friends. Easy fit in a 1590B.
From the source: The If 6 Was 9 is a modern interpretation of the classic late 60’s, early 70’s, Fuzz Face circuit with a few updates and modifications. At the heart of the If 6 Was 9 is a pair of hand selected, new old stock BC183 transistors. These transistors offer a great balance of soul and … Read more
