Barber Electronics Edge Hog Distortion
Another damn nice trace that’s up on FSB, by Joe from Grey Bench Electronics. This one seems to be a very limited run distortion from Barber, built around the time of the millennium madness.

Exar MT-1 Metal
Hi yall. Noticed a week or so back that it’s been exactly ten years since my first post here. To celebrate the occasion, i thought i’d post something. There’s been a number of slower years along the way, but so it goes. Life has it’s ups and downs. To quote one of the more interesting … Read more
Stafford Maxon Hizbender 1944T
There was a great post from Grey Bench on FSB, tracing this ten year old Stafford Maxon circuit that i found interesting back in a day, but couldn’t source a schematic back then. This is per original, using only a half of a dual opamp and utilizing a 12×21 board.

This natural sounding pedal works as a clean boost, ”on the edge” crunch, or a sweet singing overdrive, always retaining the tone of your prized guitar. The Simble pedal … Read more
