Madbean simplification of Bajaman’s “Sonic Stump”. As you can see, you’ll need at least 1590B to box this. If you want the same circuit in a smaller A-box, you should check out Madbean’s PCBs.
Keith at BYOC reverse engineered a silver edition Klon when developing a PCB and noticed an error on soulsonic’s 2009 schematic which was a couple of swapped resistor values around the Treble pot. He also noticed a few value discrepancies which probably just amount to the difference between the gold and silver Klons. The swapped … Read more
The latest incarnation of a very popular classic Skreddy pedal. Thanks to mmolteratx on FSB for the traced schematic. Info about Marc’s original: A faithful recreation of that old-school big box that gave us our startCreamy, sustaining, amp-blowing-up, huge distortion with a grainy, ear-pleasing, low-fi edge and just the right amount of ‘hair’Heavy does not … Read more
Pink’s latest original. It’s suggested that “Bloom n’ Boost” switch should be taken as a stomp. And you should probably play around with the clipping diodes too. The feedback loop transistor reportedly needs to be a high gain PNP Germanium for the circuit to work right. Don’t know about you guys, but i’m going to … Read more
Modded slightly to include a Mid Range pot instead of the switch in the original to give you complete variable control of the mids frequency rather than just 3 preset values. I’ve done the charge pump on a separate board in an attempt to keep it 1590B friendly by allowing you to tuck the charge … Read more
Request, and as it was a quicky I thought I may as well get it out of the way. A tweaked positive ground Fuzz Face using Russian germanium transistors. Being positive ground as usual I would suggest trying it with a negative voltage inverter to supply the -9V and allow you to use a 0V … Read more
There are few manufacturers that raise an interest to simply go and get the original. I have no idea who the person behind Idiotbox is, but his designs, workmanship and artwork do please me to some degree. Plus his pricing seems to be on solid ground too. This one sounds particularly good. It has some … Read more
The mellower little brother of CM Heavy Drive. Original units share the PCB with each other, but there are number of differences on the circuits.
