Frost Giant Electronics Black Gold

This thing looks quite wild. With the gain control set at minimum, you have the stock Acapulco Gold gain setting. Turn it up and you'll have much way much more gain avaiable... The Bright control is an welcome addition, a simple adjustable low pass filter.

1776 Effects RE-20 stripped down

 Here is another great layout by Sebastian!

In his own words...

Just wanted to share a layout I did of the RE-20 circuit from the 1776 Multiplex Echo Machine. It seemed like there aren't a lot of options for delay effects with parallel, independent delay controls. For the sake of simplicity (and a layout that would fit in anything smaller than a shoebox), I haven't included either the speed-ramp circuit from the original Multiplex, or the modulation circuit from the Multiplex Jr.

Devi Ever God Zilla

 Another Devi dual pedal. This is basically a Vintage Fuzz Master going into Goddess Zero, so this is two unruly octave up fuzzes in this layout.

Dead Air Face Disaster

 Phew, February has been a wild month here on the blog so lets end it with a BANG. This one is based on Tim Escobedo's DIY classic, Ugly Face with quite a few added bells and whistles such as a optical LFO section, separate starve control for two of the chips and some tweaked values here and there.

EarthQuaker Devices Dream Crusher

 Traced by Unsound Circuitry, once again, thanks, mate!

It is a well known fact that this is a modified Ge Fuzz Face. The stock Fuzz control is ditched and replaced with a "Pre Gain2 control. It runs on normal power supply and is powered by soviet MP37B NPN  germanium transistors. These are usually faily low gain and the current leakage is low. The bias trimpot is placed on the side of the board for easy moddong for an external bias pot.
