God City Instruments HM-1

One more layout before x-mas...

Here is a modified Boss DS-1 into a taeaked HM-2 EQ. Should sound pretty wild, eh?

Schematic is avaiable HERE.

 

EarthQuaker Devices Hummingbird V2

 Based on the more recent version of Hummingbird using the more common 2N6027 programmable unijunction transistor. Schematic is avaiable HERE.

Electro Harmonix Freedom Preamp Pedal

 Here we have a rare bird from the early-mid 70s. A tweaked version of the the circuit found in Freedam Preamp amp found its way into some Big Muff enclosures. Original is very pricey and rare. 

The original ran on two 9v batteries for bipolar power supply for the op amp section but I added a bipolar voltage converter so you can use with your normal power supply. A Master control is added at the end of the circuit so you can crank the volume control to achieve overdrive at reasonable levels.  Also, the trimpots value remains unknown but I would shot for 10k...

The facory schematic is avaiable HERE.

 

 

 

Madbean Rump Roast

 Another old request. An old old forgotten madbean circuit which is based on the preamp section of Dr Z Carmen Ghia.

 

DOD FX33 Buzz Box

 This one have been requested a few times. Factory schematic had a few bugs (as with most DODs) so this layout is based on the schematic by Griffin Fx for their Buzz King project.

 

Black Effects Pedals Dry Line Driver

 Another great tracing (and de gooping) work by Tobias. This one is supoosed to be a heavier version of a Colorsound Overdriver with an added "Contour" diode control for more fuzz on tap.

Wyllie Moonrock

 One of the more innovative fuzz designs out there. This is a quite a crazy octave up fuzz in the vein of Octavia and Scrambler with the Offset control dialed up. Roll it back for less octave and a pronounced swell effect.

 

 

Chase Tone Secret Preamp

 Per request.

Schematic is avaiable HERE.

Black Effects Pedals Fuzzawe

 Another trace by Tobias. This one is based on ROG Whisker Biscuit but with larger input, coupling and Miller caps. Also, the tonestack has been modified for a wider range.

Black Effect Pedals Lava Machine

 Tobias from the band Green Orbit have traced a few pedals from a now obsolete producer called Black Effect Pedals. They were producing mostly fuzzes on the heavier end of the scale, suited for doom and stoner toanz.

Lava Machine is based on Univox Unidrive with some tweaks and addons. Two onboard trimpots to tune in bias and the input signal, The gain control affect the negative feedback between the output buffer and input transistor and it has a treble cut tone control. According to Tobias it does boost, overdrive and fuzztone really well by using your guitar volume control.

 

 

Fjord Fuzz Berserk V1

 Another interesting Fjord Fuzz circuit traced by evilarsen. An old school silicon fuzz with a switch that toggles between Fuzz Face/Tonebender Mk. II modes. Also a thickness pot that is a input cap blend control. It may be worth having the internal bias trimmer as an external control...

 

 

 

Darkglass Tone Capsule

 Schematic and BOM avaiable HERE.

Darkglass Duality

 Schematic avaiable HERE.

 

 

Fjord Fuzz Embla V1

 Another one traced by evilarsen. It is supossed to be a good sounding booster/light overdrive/slightly fuzzy overdrive depending on the the switch setting.

 

 

Boss FZ-3 Fuzz

 Recently traced by Aion Fx, schematic and more info avaiable HERE.

Fjord Fuzz Odin V1

 Here is a layout of an one knob octave up fuzzfrom Norway traced by evilarsen.

Nobels PRE-C Preamp+EQ

 Schematic is avaiable HERE.

Ampeg Sub Blaster

 An old request. It is a biggie but I'm sure someone will tackle this anyway *cough, cough...Chris*.;-)

Bluff Chill Devices Ectoverb V1

 Wanna build reverb without a bulky Belton brick? Bluff Chill Ectoverb got you covered. This one is using two PT2399 ICs in series to achieve a quite murky, spacey and lo-fi reverb. Schematic and more info HERE.

Catalinbread Montavillian Echo

 Time to start rolling again...

Here is a discontinued PT2399 based delay from Catalinbread with some filtering I haven't seen anywhere else. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
