COMPONENT TABLE: Fuzz Face Variants

Fuzz face vairant schem 2fd9b848e2ad

FUZZ FACE VARIANT SCHEMATIC, INCLUDING MK1.5 & VOX TONE BENDERS The schematic includes room for components not present on a standard fuzz face, as some variants have additions.   I thought I’d keep it relatively simple and not venture into circuits with input blends or the various trimmers substituted for resistors (at least for now … Read more

VOX: Tone Bender, 0.15″ Vero Layout

VOX 1966 TB v1 vero 015 79e577eeb870

After realising I had the “right” transistors for this, I thought I should have a crack at a Vox Tone Bender.   I’ve done a generic vero layout with room for mods, with some common values listed – I guess the most obvious is the external bias pot, which could be replaced with a standard 8k2 resistor. The D*A*M … Read more

GREER AMPS: Lightspeed X Southland Overdrive, Switch Mod

GREER AMPS Southland X Lightspeed vero layout v1a dcd60cc8dc37

So given the Lightspeed and Southland are basically the same circuit, I thought I might add a switch to swap between the two. The switch does three things; Switches the hard clipping diodes in/out Changes op-amp gain (to account for the hard clipping diodes) Changes Drive pot resistance While they use different op-amps, they’re both … Read more
