Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
Been fashinated by gyrator tonestacks for a while and when I saw this wah circuit by Olivier Jambois I had to give it a go. Sounds very good and powerful and it is loud! Schematic, a nice writeup and soundclips HERE. Works equally well as a standalone bandpass filter pedal but I recommend to change … Read more
Another crazy USSR Fuzz Wah. As with Spektr 1 the LFO section is omitted. Fuzz circuit Wah circuit
Lot’s of love for old soviet circuits here lately, find it very interesting since sometimes the designers started from scratch with no input from the oustide world resulting in some quite unique designs. Here is a gnarly beast, Spektr -1 fuzz Wah. I omitted the LFO section connecting to Wah circuit since it needs a … Read more
Not much info on this one, not even who actually made it. Found the schematic years ago over at DIYSB where it was reversed with the help of none other than dino. Figured I’d tale a shot at a vero since I did so many other wahs.
Couldn’t really find a good description of this pedal other then it’s a Fuzz-Wah produced in the 70’s by Jen. Here’s my take based on the schematic. Just like many of the other fuzz wahs I’ve seen and working on layouts for this is essentially a classic inductor wah with a fuzzface type fuzz. There’s … Read more
Hadn’t done a wah in a while and thought I’d do project where you can build several old school wah circuits on the same board. Many of the early wahs back in the late 60s were based on the original Thomas Organ CryBaby, and as a result many of them follow the same topology with … Read more
