From the source: The SOLO is the newest member of the Pro Co family of stomp boxes. Although it is housed in the same indestructible and road worthy steel enclosure that has come to be a trademark of Pro Co stomp boxes, the SOLO marks a departure from the RAT series of pedals in more … Read more
“Way Huge” not only describes their enclosures, but also many of their circuits! Not quite as big as the Pork Loin, but still a monstrosity in its own right. 1590BB unless you wire all the pots offboard, then it’d fit in a 125B ok. Schematic and all that jazz here on FSB.
Here’s a really big one to kick off the week (might be the biggest dirt circuit I’ve ever laid out). The original Pork Loins have the Clean Tone, Presence, and Drive Mix pots internally, with 3 internal pots internally, and I’ve gone with the same configuration here. Schematic can be found here on FSB.
Bajaman’s overdrive circuit based on the Engl 530 preamp with switchable tone stack. Original thread and schematic available on the FSB forum here. The layout should fit in a 125B box. 09/07/2018 Layout Updated! Inverted Treble and Bass pots’ lugs. Changed 390p cap from TL062 pin 5 to 470p. Changed 1K resistor next to 22uF … Read more
Bajaman’s overdrive/distortion circuit based on a modified Boss DS-1 with an active high and low tone control section. Original thread and schematic available on the FSB forum here. The layout should fit in a 1590B box.

There are two versions: First one with just one toggle switch to select between Cruch, OD1 and OD2. The second one uses separate footswitches, Gains and Levels. You need to add an extra pole for … Read more
I know I’ve mentioned this to a few people over the past year probably, but I’ve finally been able to get it edited. That’s right, here’s my tutorial on how I layout circuits in DIYLC… the first installment at least. The tutorial shows how I created today’s layout–the Uno from Run Off Groove. It’s a … Read more
Original FSB thread and schematic available here. Special thanks to Bugg for providing new schematics.
For Fuzz Friday here’s the Octave Clang from Death By Audio. It’s a transformer based octave fuzz utilizing a 741 opamp. Fairly low parts count and should fit in a 1590B.
Since I just poster the original Vox Distortion Booster, I figured I’d post the second version while i was at it. Just like the V8161 the V2 is also a Fuzz Face variant. The Vox Distortion Booster V2 is similarly as rare as the V8161, but being a Fuzz Face variant I’m sure we all … Read more
