Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
I put this on hold because the inductor used has a number of connections and although only 2 of them are being used it may make it difficult to mount on vero. So I will put it on hold and maybe look at doing a daughterboard for the inductor, or maybe even using a different … Read more
Simple one transistor wah with even simpler volume pedal wiring. Assuming you have wah enclosures to spare.
I did this as a bit of an experiment. I want to build one and this has always been one of those that would prefer to do on a PCB, but I thought I’d still like to put a layout together to see how small I could get it using my methods and as I … Read more
Request. The Idiot Wah is a simple building block Bridged/Twin T filter giving a resonant low pass response. It’s specifically designed for electric guitar, for simplicity and useability, making it a bit different from similar designs. The input resistor helps the input from loading down and attenuates the input signal. The Darlington transistor has enough … Read more
Request. Manufacturers info about the reissue version which is a circuit match: The WH10V2 features the same circuit as the original with one major upgrade: a very sturdy metal housing. Ready now for the rigors of the road, the WH10V2 features the same multiple feedback opamp circuit as the original, a type rarely found in … Read more
And lastly, Nurse Quacky – the fixed and/or modified version of Dr. Quack by Orman and Hammer. This is how you take things further 🙂 Info from Home-Wrecker: history/disclaimer The Dr. Q project by JD Sleep was the first non-fuzz effect I built. It was also, at the time, the most complex circuit I had … Read more
Jack Orman’s fixed version of the original EHX Doctor Q with buffer at the input to increase input impedance plus many more fixes.. Info from AMZ: The AMZ Dr. Quack is an updated and improved version of the E-H Dr. Envelope Filter pedal. Here are a few notes to help anyone building this circuit. Please refer … Read more
Maybe i’ll just post a few today… This i found as a scan from some ye oldee electronics magazine. I have no idea what it does, but text from the article made me draw it 🙂 Excerpt from the article: Fuzz, echo, reverb, big bass, they’re all out! The new guitar sound is funky, and … Read more
This will probably be a popular build for people who use a Fuzz Face (or similar) and also an older style wah, and have a problem putting them in the usual order. Info from Foxrox about their original: The Foxrox Wah Retrofit is a self-contained JFET buffer/amp circuit that gets installed into your Wah Wah … Read more
This seems to be a really nice sounding wah, and without having to hunt for some hard to find and expensive inductor.
