Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Ok. This has absolutely nothing in common with all the other 14 different versions of Big Muff Pi. As the effect has two individual sides, one for distortion and other for overdrive, i thought i’d draw the sides as a separate layouts. You can, of course, use one 16 x 31 board to have both … Read more
Not the most compact layout (as expected with most phasers) but should fit comfortably in a 125B mounted sideways, and maybe even a 1590B if someone has the patience. One thing I will say is that until this is verified I wouldn’t recommend it being built by anyone who may not be prepared to do … Read more
..and i’m back. Been a one hell of a month with kazillion things going on… Here’s something quite cool i ran into. Haven’t had time to build it yet myself, but it is quite high on the priority list. According to the information provided with the schematic (here), this seems like a highly tweakable crossover … Read more
Ok. As the original layout for this circuit was originally drawn from a bad schematic and altered later, i thought it would be a good idea to redraw this from a trusted (Dirk Hendrik’s) schematic with original buffering in tact. I also removed the old one from the archives… As this Rat adaptation shares the … Read more
Found this floating around the interweb some time ago. It is OD-3, with tone control, buffering and switching components removed. The original design would be crazy big and undoable (at least for me) on vero. So this WGTP’s simplification of schematic supplied by J. Luja more than 10 years ago should suffice. According to DIYSB … Read more
200th Overdrive layout! I seem to be on the streak with Tubescreamers. This one also marks a special moment. In addition to this being 200th OD layout, i finally deciphered the original schematic which is very annoying to read (all 7-series schematics are). This one is also our first layout for the this series of … Read more
Edit 31.7.2016 – There was still one crucial error on the layout, which made the board defunct. Fixed and tweaked a few things around to accomodate the polarity protection etc. *Should* finally be safe to build.
Updated 6th February 2014 I have a TC Electronic G-Force and Eventide Eclipse in the parallel effects loop of my amp and use a rack mixer to keep them in parallel with each other, and so allow me to use them both 100% wet and so avoid having to digitize my dry signal. I do … Read more
I’ve just done this as an experiment but thought I may as well share it here in case anyone else is interested. I bought a few different SMD component kits a while back and wondered how easily they can be used with vero. I think it will be a nightmare for bigger circuits because you’re … Read more
