Danelectro French Fries
Quite a nice sounding and simple AutoWah. Thanks to Bernardduur on FSB for the scheme. Short but sweet: It’s a ’70s style auto wah like you haven’t heard since you tossed your bell bottoms.

Roland AF-60 BeeGee
I personally enjoyed the AF-100 BeeBaa design a lot, so once i noticed that this existed – i just had to draw it up. Slave to my own habits, i “modernized” the transistor pinouts to match those everyone have in their drawers. Original has 2SC1000GRs in them, so your usual suspects should work just fine … Read more
Maxon OD-01 The Driver
Here’s something quite interesting. A switch to toggle between TubeScreamer-like, and a Rat-like mode. Basically this could be the basic tool, think swiss army knife, of overdrives and distortions. I omitted the in/out buffers from the layout, but used the original JFET pinout. I built the layout, and noticed that with my batch of NE5534s … Read more
DOD FX52 – Classic Fuzz
The FX52 Classic Fuzz duplicates the sound of the early 60s distortion boxes, such as the Fuzz Face and the Fuzz Tone. A must for musicians looking for a more nostalgic sound.
Blackout Effectors Fix’d Fuzz Deluxe
Yay February. Just 111 to beat this month Miro :o) I think I’m going to get a few questions about this one, although a look at the front of the Deluxe at the graphical links between switches and pots will probably give a good clue how this one works if you aren’t already familiar. A … Read more
ETI Fuzz Struzz (a.k.a. Guitar Effects Unit)
There was a mistake on the layout, that’s now fixed. This calls for both +9V and -9V supply. Use of inverter pump daughter board is recommended. The GEU is good sounding octave fuzz, with an optional mode of just fuzz. The fuzz is a fully rectified signal and is quite chewy. For some the Fuzz … Read more
Rangepig
Seems like i’m on fire with the requests today… Here’s Pete Moore’s RangePig – an adaptation of Rangemaster with single low gain germanium transistor configured with modern silicon counterpart as darlington. Note that this is a positive ground effect, so you can’t daisy chain this with other boxes that use negative ground. A simple pump … Read more
