DINOSAURAL: OPA-101 Overdrive Preamp
The Dinosaural OPA-101 Overdirven preamp is a variation (or improvement) on the Dinosaural Tube Bender. This is has the tone control like the the Aion FX version, but I did leave the output stage as a buffer as per the original. The filter itself is on the original which you can see on the schematic … Read more
LOVETONE: Big Cheese
While I’m doing Lovetone, I have to do a Big Cheese… this is now the predecessor to the Thorpy Field Marshal Fuzz, now that Dan Coggins is helping out on the design side of things there. The schematic can be found at Aion Fx, and this version includes a bit of extra boost at the … Read more
LOVETONE: Brown Sauce
Lovetone effects pedals are pretty legendary, and I have meaning to get around to some layouts for a while now. I thought I might start with the Brown Sauce, which is the least challenging. You can find the schematic here on Aion FX – also check out the rest of the Lovetone line that they’ve traced too, as … Read more
VOX: UL Series Preamp
I quite like some of the guitar sounds from The Beatles Revolver album, and after looking at the Vox Supreme, I thought I might have a play with the UL series preamp. I’m also waiting for the build docs to come out for the Aclam Dr Robert on pedalpcb as a comparison. It’s also a … Read more
VOX: Frank’s Yer Blues Fuzz V2.0
So not strictly Vox, but perhaps it’s the easiest way to label this one. It’s variation of the Jext Telez White Pedal done by Frank_NH on Freestompboxes, which is really the brilliant channel of a Vox Supreme. Frank made a few changes to keep the feel, while simplifying the design. running at 9v no wah … Read more
EARTHQUAKER DEVICES v SUNN O))): Life
Given I’ve done a few Sunn Model T layouts recently, I thought the next obvious step would be an Earthquaker Devices Life pedal layout. This is from the PedalPCB Parentheses Fuzz schematic, which has an additional clipping mode on a rotary switch. I’m sure you can work out how to drop it back to a … Read more
SUNN: Model T Preamp
Last time I did a Sunn Model T layout it was a super blood moon (Coda Doom machine) – today is the winter solstice, so I thought why not stick with the theme and do another Sunn layout. This time it’s the Guitar PCB version, which is pretty similar to the Sunn Model T amp … Read more
MARSHALL: Shredmaster
The Marshall Shredmaster is a somewhat classic distortion, even if it has a cringe worthy name. I don’t think I would have even looked at this back in the day as a result of the name. Shredding is not my thing. I think it’s fair to say that Radiohead using the Shredmaster has certainly helped … Read more
DEVI EVER: Hyperion 1 & 2
I’ve not done a Devi Ever layout here, but I have built one a few years back. Maybe a little overdue, and as I just did the EAE version, I thought perhaps I’m due for a Devi. DEVI EVER HYPERION – VERO LAYOUT HYPERION VIDEO DEMO DEVI EVER HYPERION 2 – VERO LAYOUT It’s the … Read more
