Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Yes, Modulation Monday is back with the Ross Phaser. It’s not for the feint of heart, but doesn’t require any JFETs, matched or otherwise. Instead it uses OTAs with 3, LM13700N (one for the LFO, two for the audio path). Should fit nicely in a 125B with top mounted jacks. Schematic for reference.
A pretty cool design, this. A FET booster that slams a FET Fuzz Face with hard clipping LEDs. All 10k Source resistors is replaced with trimpots for yeasy biasingg. A big thank you to Deadend Fx for the trace of this rare bird that was old in Japan in limited quantites before the millenium. Schematic … Read more
Per request.A quite a big revision of this circuit was made a couple of years ago making it a worthwhile addition to the blog. The general topology remains almost the same but lots of component values have been updated. Trimpots is added for easier biasing. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
Traced by Gray Bench Electronics. It is basically a heavilly tweaked hybrid Tonebender Mk. II. I added an anti pop resistor at the input and reoriented the 4,7uF cap. Schematic and teardown video is avaiable HERE.
Traced by evilarsen, AlexS and Marco. evilarsen did the dirty work by building and verifying the board. …and here is evilarsens build.
With all the recent talk and hype of the DigiTech Bad Monkey lately, and the sky rocketing prices of them on Reverb, a layout seemed to be in order. I used to gig with one of these and loved the Low control on it. Helped it stand out compared to other TS-style ODs. So it’s … Read more
Wave Cannon went through a complete circuit overhaul for the Mk.II version. Mk.I was a nice Rat derivate but the MK.II version belongs to the Guvnor / Shredmaster family. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
Another guest appearance with a verified layout by Chris at Capitalist Death Cult! Here is what he has to say about this bass fuzz monster: Capitali$t Death Cult Effect$ YUKAGIR Preserved Siberian Fuzz The Yukagir (pronounced Yookahgeer) Preserved Siberian Fuzz is named after a 39K year old Wooly Mammoth fossil that was unearthed in … Read more
