Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
This one seems to be quite rare thing. You can score one for >$200 at ebay. It is Morley’s vision of the MXR Dist+/DOD OD250, with some noticeable changes. Might be worth a build… Picture from Effects database.
Found this floating around the interweb some time ago. It is OD-3, with tone control, buffering and switching components removed. The original design would be crazy big and undoable (at least for me) on vero. So this WGTP’s simplification of schematic supplied by J. Luja more than 10 years ago should suffice. According to DIYSB … Read more
I’ve noticed a recurring request on how to add tone control to layout x (where x = any layout without tone control). So i thought that i’d draw up a simple addon board for simple Big Muff Pi tone control, so that anyone can take it after any board’s output. But as many of the … Read more
Info about the original: The Animal is our creating of a 1968 Plexi Sound. The Animal is an extremely open and amp like sound that can get you from a stock plexi to a modified plexi with the flick of the snarl switch. The Animal can get very aggressive but it is by no means … Read more
I think we’ve done all the Ibanez Tubescreamers now 😛 This one is a mix between TS10 and TS808 with slightly bigger cap for fatter bass responce. There was an issue with the output buffer’s vref connection, but that’s fixed now…
Very close to STL Super Tube. Clipping amp and mids boost section are in different order, plus some slight changes to the buffers.
Simple one transistor wah with even simpler volume pedal wiring. Assuming you have wah enclosures to spare.
After the heads up from Miro, here’s the sites 200th fuzz layout! :o) The original has a 5K trimmer in between Texture 1 & 2 and the collector of Q3 which I have omitted to keep this 1590B friendly in terms of number of columns. I think a trimmer there is largely unnecessary as it … Read more
200th Overdrive layout! I seem to be on the streak with Tubescreamers. This one also marks a special moment. In addition to this being 200th OD layout, i finally deciphered the original schematic which is very annoying to read (all 7-series schematics are). This one is also our first layout for the this series of … Read more
This puppy is basically another TS9, but it has clipping and gain options on “mode” switch. Modes are TS9, +, Hot and Turbo. Latter one acts as a diode lift, but adds a lot of gain. The switch is 2P4T rotary. Original unit has 250K dual gang pot for gain, and for some reason it … Read more
