Another great sounding circuit here from Rick. His explanation: I’ve had the idea to try a PT2399 chorus ever since I modded my Clari into a Clari Cubed. The challenge with the PT2399 is to get the delay time as short as possible while still having some wiggle room for the LFO injected into pin … Read more
Request. The transistor may be difficult to get hold of but you can try other PNP silicons in its place. The datasheet suggests the hFE of the 2N4061’s was 90 – 330, but check the pinouts of your replacements and insulate/twist the pins if necessary to match the layout. The filter created by the 1n … Read more
A few people built the Rust Drive using my original layout (and other layouts which used the same schematic) and thought that it didn’t sound quite like it should and saying that there was a lot of noise. Aegert at FSB got a new one and traced it himself, coming up with an updated schematic, … Read more
I usually opt for PCBs for larger circuits because I don’t think vero lends itself particularly well to overly complicated schematics, but wanted to put a phaser layout together that was something other than a Phase 45 or Phase 90, and this one looked like a fantastic option as it is a great sounding and … Read more
I thought I’d post a separate thread about this with it being a totally new layout to avoid confusion during comments in the thread. A few things about the last layout irked me and so I’ve done a fresh layout which ended up 1 column narrower and so makes it less tight in a 1590B. … Read more
How many Big Muff variants is this now? :o) Manufacturers info: BJF design versatile fuzz pedal Hand-made in Finland premium quality fuzz pedal. Mad Professor Fire Red Fuzz (FRF) is a fuzz pedal that is easy to play with long sustain and lot of tone variations. The pedal has a compressed, deep effect to allow … Read more
I wanted to make this one suitable for a 1590B, but thinking about it, not many people are going to put a 6 knob effect into a 1590B. Still it will fit and I’ll be very impressed if anyone does it and posts a pic! :o) This is a great take on the muff and … Read more
I thought the delay freaks may like this interesting alternative to the pristine digital delays that you see all the time. This was put together by allesz at freestompboxes, and below is his description of the circuit: “It is the results of my experiments with the ultra famous pt2399 chip. It is a simple circuit … Read more
Mad Professor’s “Honey Bee”-esque offering. Manufacturer’s info: Mad Professor Sweet Honey Overdrive (SHOD) is a super touch sensitive medium gain overdrive pedal. This pedals is now offered as lower priced pcb-model or hand wired pedal. Both share the same specs and tone. It is designed to overdrive distorted amplifiers and give dynamically controlled light overdrive … Read more
