Bluff Chill Devices Hyper Light V1
A quite interesting PT2399 delay with a ringmod circuit in the wet path for dirty and robotic delay repeats. Schematic is avaiable HERE.
Pladask Elektrisk Odd Amplitude Modulator / Noise Synth
A liitle noise thingy designed by Knutolai at Pladask Elektrisk. A ring modulator based som Tim Escobedos Thing Modulator with Starve control, hard clipping diodes, cross over distortion diodes and a feedback switch...somethhing to keep the neighbours happy.

Tesla AYZ-030 Graphic Equalizer
An old graphic equalizer from the former Chechoslovakia. For more fidelity, LM741 could with subbed with TL071 or other low noise single op amps.

Triungulo Lab Ensemble Crunch
Here is a variation of the pre amp found in Roland/Boss CE-1. Note that the diode 1, 2 and the crunch switch is optional.
Big thanks to Lorenzo for the schematic and for verifying this layout!

Fuzzhead Fx Red Sun Fuzz
This one started as an attempt to improve an obscure old japanese germanium fuzz circuit from the late 60s called Sekova FA II Fuzz which suffered from quite low output and lack of sustain. After some experimenting I removed the clipping diodes, tweaked the bias and added another gain stage upfront which is borrowed from Roland Bee Baa but with a germanium transistor. For transistor selection I found that these with low leakage and a hfe around 100 sounds good but it is worth experimenting with others especially for Q2 and Q3.

ENGL 3
Another ENGL amp emulator and another schematic from a russian DIY forum using both J FETs and MOSFETs. It is worth socketing the diodes at the MOSFET transistors since these only add a bit compression to the distortion.
