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 Ekko Delay

 


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!

Buzzefall - Laboga Mr Hector Amp Emulator

 Another high gain amp emulator, this time based on Laboga Mr Hector.



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.
