Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Here is the larger version (now discontinued) of the Noise Swash. One of our members (Kornel) was given the schematic by Dan from 4ms and he asked me to draw a layout for it. I don’t have permission to publish the schematic but the layout matches it. Please do not ask for it.
Bajaman’s overdrive circuit based on the Marshall 59 Plexi amplifier. Original thread and schematic available on the FSB forum here.
Bajaman’s overdrive circuit based on the Fender 59 Tweed Bassman amplifier. Original thread and schematic available on the FSB forum here.
