Pearl DS-06 Distortion
Two layouts, one stock with a rotary switch and another layout by request which has a dual gang pot in place of the switch and the fixed resistors. Stock layout Layout with variable Spectrum Control L
ProAnalog MkIII Fuzz
Here’s a variation of the classic Tone Bender Mk II Professional from ProAnalog Devices. It uses PNP transistors, so you’ll have to use either a battery or voltage inverter to daisy chain this with other pedals. It seems they’ve used several different transistors, but they’re outlined in the schematic from Scotty himself. Easy fit in … Read more
Anta Fuzz
First post of the new year. This comes from a request posted in the forum. Not much I could find about this other than it’s a Fuzz Face derivative made in the 70’s in the USSR.
Yamaha DI-01 Distortion
This is currently on hold till I figure out the tone control issue or someone can shed more light on this circuit. Build at your own risk. I stumbled across the schematic for this effect and thought it was another variation of the Marshall Bluesbreaker circuit. But realized it actually predates the Marshall circuit by several … Read more
BJF Fuzz 109
Here’s an interesting Fuzz Face variation designed by Bjorn for Fuzz Friday. Here’s the schematic for reference. It can also be purchased as a kit from Moody Sounds out of Sweden. Should be an easy fit in a 1590B.
Discrete Llama
Happy New Year, everyone! Some audiophiles have really gotten into preamps that use discrete opamp—basically using and bunch of individual transistors that make up the internal circuit in an IC. This trend has also made it’s way into the guitar world as well. One of the simpler circuits I’ve seen you can do this with … Read more
Mini BassDrive
This is an adaption of the Fulltone Bassdrive without the boost footswitch, allowing for a smaller enclosure. I got the idea from a comment by Simão on the Fulldrive 2 post, and I though it could prove useful for my fellow bassists. Like the Fulldrive/Bassdrive, it’s modded Tube Screamer with clipping and voicing options with … Read more
