Rogue Sound Hatchet Harry
I had a request forthe Blind Mary and will do that when I get a confirmed schematic, but in the meantime thought I’d post the Hatchet Harry.

Catalinbread DLS
Manufacturers info: The Dirty Little Secret is something we at Catalinbread have been harboring for quite a long time now and we’re finally ready after months of testing and refining to spill the beans… In essence, the DLS is a ‘foundation’ pedal – a sonic platform to build the rest of your sound upon. It … Read more
Catalinbread Formula No 5
Manufacturers info: The Formula № 5 was inspired by old tweed amps, most notably the 5E3 circuit. The character of the 5E3 is very unique. It has very minimal power filtering, low plate voltages, elemental tone stack, and does next to nothing to control the low end between gain stages, not to mention the under-rated … Read more
Box of Hall Reverb – culturejam
A nice little Belton Brick reverb build here. As described by cj: This one is pretty simple. It’s the new smaller Belton/Accutronics brick and a quad op amp, a Reverb Mix control and a tone control I’m calling “Dampen”. It’s a dead-simple low-pass filter right off the brick’s output (or rather, one of the outputs) … Read more
Ibanez OD850 – V3
Requested. This is a slightly modified Triangle clone that some others may also be interested in. The original used buffered bypass and FET switching but this has removed those components and is designed to be used with external mechanical bypass switching of some description such as a 3PDT stomp switch. The scheme that I did … Read more
Greeny’s Vero Build Guide
A number of people have asked me to do a build guide for one of these effects, but I noticed the other day that one of the guys here (timmy) had already done a very nice one which was posted on the Ultimate Guitar forum, so I asked Tim whether we could use it here … Read more
Jordan Vico Vibe
Actually a very nice sounding tremolo rather than the effect the name suggests. A clone of this is currently being sold by a company called Mahoney and they wrote: In the late 60’s, Jordan offered an incredible sounding tremolo unit that was housed in the plug-in style box like the Bosstone. There were less … Read more
Catalinbread WIIO
Manufacturer’s info about the original: Sheer raw power. Dynamics that feel like a roundhouse kick to the chest. Incredibly responsive clean up with the flick of the wrist. This is the WIIO. The WIIO is an overdrive inspired by the powerfully unforgiving British amps from the ‘70s. Its all right there at your fingertips – … Read more
Catalinbread Rah
The marketing: The Catalinbread RAH was built specifically to nail Jimmy Page’s gigantic guitar tone from Led Zeppelin’s legendary 1970 performance at Royal Albert Hall. At the time, in contrast to the Marshalls that he eventually came to be associated with, Page was using Hiwatt heads on stage, modified for a bit of extra gain. … Read more
Catalinbread Heliotrope
Info from Catalinbread about the original: What do you call an effect that isn’t quite a Bit Crusher, or an Octave, or a Harmonizer, or a Ring Modulator, or a Lo-Fi dirt box/fuzz – but a bit of a blend of each? Yeah – we don’t know either, so we came up with “Harmonic Pixelator”. … Read more
