The last mojo layout for a while. This one isn’t one of the classics, quite the opposite. It isne of the rarest vintage fuzzes out there and for the longest time noone knew what the circuit was like until Deadend Fx managed to trace it a couple of years ago. It is a quite heavy … Read more
It is all about the MOJO! Got a comission to build a bunch of the larger classic fuzz circuits using “mojo” parts, more preciely 1/2w carbon composition resistors and axial electrolyctics/tantalums. It may not be a huge difference soundwise but it is quite fun to build and it looks cool.:-p. Power filter caps remains radial … Read more
Another old octave down circuit with a forest of transistors…. It also have a rare part, MFC-4040 which were a 4.pin divider/flip-flop IC. It went obsoltete in 1975 but according to several sources, NTE754 is a direct replacement. R12 and C21 is marked as “factory tailored component” in the factory schematic so these needs to … Read more
Based on schematic avaiable at Deadend Fx. Layout for the Fuzz section HERE.
This was a request. Appearantly a very powerful booster and eq circuit using inductors for sort of multiband wah sounds. The original ran on two 9v batteries for bipolar power operation but I included an onboard power inverter. Note that sizes of inductors varies a lot but hopefully there is enough room for them, especially … Read more
Boss FZ2 has a very powerfull boost setting which is great for driving tube amps. It also has a powerful eq. Some people requested this, not wanting to build the whole FZ2 circuit which is quite big! So here is two layouts, one stock with a FET input buffer and a discrete FET/PNP BJT op … Read more
