Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Per request. The original design had couple of things i had to mod to get this stripboard and/or 1590B friendly. First, there are two dual opamps in the original box, and they are used in quite peculiar manner. The first one is TL072, which has other half as input buffer for bypassed signal and other … Read more
Another request. Aron Nelson’s Lava Rim 2. I have no clue why the input level control pot is called “Bias”. That’s the reason why i used quote marks around it…
From Solgrind blog. Simple, but apparently great sounding addition to mini booster pot. And nice reason to source some JFETs with DGS pinout – Just in case you didn’t have any 😀
Another request. Wampler’s mods for MXR Distrotion +, as seen at Premier Guitar magazine’s website.
This is ARC Effects take on the Burns Buzzaround with a negative voltage inverter to provide -9V to allow you to maintain a daisy chainable negative ground, but use the better quality PNP germanium transistors. This is a mojo version as per the first edition of the pedal. ARC Effects make some fantastic pedals and … Read more
This is a really simple circuit looking at the board, but we didn’t have a pic of the back and on the breadboard my suggestions didn’t sound right, so I shelved it for a while until I could get a look at the unit myself or at least a decent pic of the rear of … Read more
I’ve put a couple of Suhr Riot layouts on here, one from Madbean’s take on it, and one with jymaze’s popular modifications, but it was always felt that something wasn’t quite right. Fortunately MarkGor on Freestompboxes traced his pedal and also removed some of the components so they could be measured to check the values, … Read more
Pretty close to the earlier version of Jen Fuzz, and i may have promised not to do Fuzz Faces nor Benders, but here i go again… Seems to be a classic – so some of you might want to clone this one to the specs too.
Request. As everyone knows this is Mike Fuller’s version of the Fuzz Face, but it has something that we haven’t included in the multitude of Fuzz Face layouts we have on the site so I thought it was worth adding a mojo layout. Sticking two fingers up at convention Mike called what most would consider … Read more
