Simple Theremin
A recent request that caught my eye, a fairly simple theremin project. I’ve always found these to be neat with tons of possibilities when combined with other effects. The project was posted over on Instructables. Original without Regulator With Regulator
Nine Volt Nirvana Dino Drive
Another fuzz from Nine Volt Nirvana, Joe Gagan. It’s another modified Fuzz Face, and from the one video of it, it sounds bad ass.
Guyatone PS-021 Guitar Exciter / Compressor
A vintage pedal from the 80s. I’ve removed the flip flop switching system and buffers (thanks Zach for the help). Hopefully it will fit in a 125B box. You can find original thread and schematic here. Updated schematic is available in our Forum section. Thanks Dino for his explanatory video. 12/11 Layout Updated! Readded the … Read more
EarthQuaker Devices Palisades
Original info: “The Palisades is something we said we would never do… an overdrive based on the legendary TS808! Gasp! The horror! Another tubes creamer?? In 2014?? Really?? After loads of requests we finally buckled. We ran tests with every popular clone on the market as well as several vintage originals, compared, contrasted and took … Read more
Nine Volt Nirvana Tone Dog
Another Nine Volt Nirvana fuzz. Cna’t find anything info on it, but as usual if it’s from Joe Gagan it’s got to be good.
Nine Volt Nirvana BrontoBoost
Next up of the Nine Volt Nirvana pedals is the BrontoBoost. From Joe. The new Brontoboost is a two stage booster/fuzz/OD/Dist unit that has a ton of different tones in it, all good! It goes from awesome treble boost like a British top booster, to fullrange boost, to very fat fuzz and everything in between. … Read more
Onerr OVD-1 Overdrive
Schematic was recently posted at FSB (Thanks Manfred!), but there are couple small things i decided to tweak for this layout. For one, the original has 4558 dual opamp in the circuit with other half left hanging. This layout has 741 in its place and the transistors are with more common pinout. Nice singing overdrive … Read more
Frantone The Sweet
Laying out Big Muff variations never gets old for me. This one uses germanium transistors in the two clipping stages (and predates the EQD Hoof which also uses germanium transistors) along with schottky diodes (1N6263s). Q4 is a FS25444, but the usual BMP transistor suspects will work as well (2N5088, MPSA18, BC549C, etc). Other than … Read more
Jon Patton’s Mossy Sloth
Finishing out Jon Patton week with the Mossy Sloth Fuzz for Fuzz Friday. It’s a pretty unique transistor-based fuzz and uses MOSFETs to create some asymmetrical clipping for some unusual fuzz and distortion sounds. Loads more info can be found here.
