Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Do not start building this one yet as it contains errors. Norwichbadger’s amazing footwork on the comments will tell you how to fix yours, if you’ve built it already. I’ll be fixing the layout or redrawing it at some point… —- Olav’s relentless requesting took a few things before i got it done. First, he … Read more
Request. This one comes from Harrymatic’s instructables.com project. Check out the page for more information and demo clip with keyboard. This one has really low part count, but tons of links keep the board pretty big…
Madferret’s amazing and complete overhaul of those circuits that use low gain Ge transistors in darlington configuration to achieve fuzzy germanium bliss. This baby consumes 6 of your low gain/low loeak germaniums and adds not-completely-unlike big muff tone stack plus a recovery stage to keep the signal loud. Not to mention three different pots to … Read more
Happy valentine’s to everyone. Please remember to care for your missus or girlfriend between builds too… 11.12.2022 – Note that this version of this layout has been proved unverifiable. The schematic was up in Aron Nelson’s forum, but we don’t have access to this anymore. There may be issues with the Dragonfly’s schem/design or with … Read more
Here’s a new one. Our user eje posted his filter design on the request section of the forum and asked us to draw a layout for it. The frequency graphs show that it cuts about 5db in 100-200hz range, peaks for +7db at ~2.5khz and cuts everything off from 500khz up. Cuts and boosts of … Read more
And the BJT version for those who prefer them to JFETs Version without trimmers which allows you to keep the board size down:
From Beavis Audio Research: Finally something that actually does go to eleven. I love the 386 power amp chip. It is incredibly versatile. As the engine behind the Ruby, Little Smokey, and Noisy Cricket amps, it is the best bang for the buck single-chip amplifier. But it is more than that: it is also used widely … Read more
And another request. From Culturejam designs. Note from the Man himself: I’d recommend going with a higher value for that 47R resistor. Try 220R, 330R, or 470R. Or even a little higher. The lower the value, the more gain there is, but it’s really noisy at 47R. Like, unusable noisy, at least on my test build.
