Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
It’s been a while – and I’ve probably scared most of you away with obscure amp content, but I have to have a crack at this one. Yes, it could have been a smaller layout, but to be honest, I’d still be adding some room around the edges for proper mounting points. I also … Read more
I know right – a regular vero layout for a change. While it’s called a fuzz, it has quite a bit of range. Clean(ish) to an overloaded squishy fuzz Schematic is here FAIRFIELD CIRCUITRY ~900 FUZZ Just be sure to use J201 from a reputable source, and always check the pinout. Do not buy your … Read more
The D*A*M Drag n Fly DF-05 is a hybrid fuzz pedal that combines silicon and germanium transistors, drawing inspiration from the classic Fuzz Face design. What sets it apart is its unique filter control, located at the input of the circuit. This control blends the input signal between a 10uF and a 4n7 capacitor, offering … Read more
I’d created a layout for the Pete Cornish P-1 about four years ago, based on best guesses as to what this said to be – a Rams Head Big Muff. I was kind of close, but here’s a layout from a very reliable Aion FX trace. If you want to see where it sits in … Read more
Thought I was overdue for a regular vero layout, as it has been a while – schematic available at PedalPCB. It has the usual DBA weirdness – upside down low-gain silicon transistors etc (reverse beta). DEATH BY AUDIO – EVIL FUZZ VERO LAYOUT
If you’re in the USA, for $75 you may as well buy the kit. otherwise, this should be a really simple build. THIRD MAN FUZZ A TRON VERO LAYOUT Spoiler alert – it’s a modded Fuzzrite. 330k resistors instead of 470k, and it’s missing a resistor that formed a high-pass filter on the output of … Read more
There’s been so much speculation about the G2, over many many years. Aion FX has traced two versions of the Pete Cornish G2, so hopefully this is the end of some very long threads on various forums. Long story short, one version is very close to all of the mods that everyone has been doing for … Read more
Something of a classic, the Fender Blender is a monster octave fuzz. I’d be tempted to remove the Blend pot myself, as I don’t like fuzz pedals with clean blend. Probably advisable to add LEDs to the Tone boost switch too. Layout has been designed for a wide enclosure to accomodate the switching and 4 … Read more
There’s a few variations of this circuit, so I’d recommend reading through the Aion FX build docs or maybe just skip the vero all together and buy the board from them. The build docs also include LTspice simulations of the frequency response, so that saves me a bit of time plotting them out. I’ve labelled a … Read more
I was poking around in my files and realised that I had started a layout for this a couple of years ago, but had not quite finished it – anyways, here it is. It’s SRS EQ Exciter from the seventies, with the Creepy Fingers mod. If you want to make it stock, replace the Gain … Read more
