Umbrella Company Mayonaise Fuzz

 A japanese boutique Big Muff variant with some bell and whistles. The 1979 switch adds a different stexture and aggression to the distortion. Doping switch is basically and Mid/Scoop tonestack switch. And the Mode switch (which is an internal DIP switch in stock units) toggles between two values for both clipping caps which adds some bass i one postirion. The 33k and 24k series resistors are replaced by one 56k resistor due to lack of space on the board.

Lastgasp Art Laboratories "46" Sooperfuzz

 Traced by Deadend Fx.

I opted for a layout for the stock circuit without the three additional Deadend Fx controls. Note that there is some intended noise is coming through with the Gain pot is dimed which is perfectly normal, it a part of the design.

Funny Little Boxes Skeleton Key

 This is supposed to be a QOTSA in a box. According to demos online, this and an amp on the verge of breakup will almost get you there...

The 470uF power filter cap is a bit overkill, you can use a 100uF instead.

Creepy Fingers Regulus 8 Fuzz

 Long time, no see. No layouts in December so far for numerous reasons. For the most part, things have been crazy busy over here, mostly with fun stuff. And I needed a small break from pedal building in general... And I felt a bit resenment that Google and/or Firefox that can't fix the bug that block me from comment on my own blog (I still can't)... So I just needed to drop the rock for a while. 

Good thing is there have been lots of interesting schematics floating up lately so there is a few layouts to come the nextcoming days. First up, Creepy Fingers take on OS Mutantes/Regulug VIII Fuzz. It has some interesing tweaks and mods compared to the original. It has some oddball silicon transistors which doesn't give a match with the common types via an equivalent search so sockets is your friend here, I suppose.
