Devi Ever Shoegazer
Had a request for this one...yes I know it is a Soda Meiser into a Thorns Peaker and could be built on separate boards but...those small Devi circuits is so much fun to draw.😏

Note that it is highly recommended to use a 10k pot for Sustain to avoid noise and dead spots in the sweep.

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.

Dead Astronaut Black Triangle Overdrive
There was an old unverified layout in the library that I wasn't too fond of. So here is a new one!

Dharma Sound / Colorsound Distorter
Here is a forgotten oldie that has been requested ever since Colorsound released a small run of replicas in the fall of 2023. Dharma Sound was a small operation builder from Kent, OK, active in the 70s.
The circuit design is pretty interesting; first a BJT input buffer. Then the signal is split into two parallel active fixed filters. The signal is then joined together before it hits the LM741 op amp with stacked clipping diodes to generate distortion. . Sound clips suggest that it sounds like a distortion with a cocked wah tone.

Oh, and this is post #1500!
