Dead Air Sawzall

 Another contribution from Chris at CDC Fx! This layout is already VERIFIED and good to go.

Schematic is avaiable HERE and as you can see the drive section is a modified MXR Distortion+ derivate. You can yeasily tweak it to DOD 250 or countless other variations of the circuit.

Aria ATO-1 Tube Overdrive

 Schematic is avaiable HERE.

Not your Tubr Screamer derivate as the name would suggest. Instead, we have a four stage CMOS overdrive with an op amp preamp, a TS style Treble control and a gyrator for the Bass control. Could it be a sleeper?

Oneder Effects Red Ryder Distortion

 Schematic is aviable HERE.

For a more compact and symmetric layout I subbed the TL074 quad op amp for two TL072s.

Minotaur Sonic Terrors Swamp Lord

 evilarsen is back! This time he traced Swamp Lord by Minotaur. A tweaked Rams Head style Muff with a clipping switch and a Mids control. Nothing new under the sun really but the doom crowd might be interested in this.

Umbrella Company Mayonaise Fuzz

 A japanese boutique Big Muff variant with some bell and whistles. The 1979 switch adds a different stexture and aggression to the distortion. Doping switch is basically and Mid/Scoop tonestack switch. And the Mode switch (which is an internal DIP switch in stock units) toggles between two values for both clipping caps which adds some bass i one postirion. The 33k and 24k series resistors are replaced by one 56k resistor due to lack of space on the board.

Schematic is avaiable HERE.

Lastgasp Art Laboratories "46" Sooperfuzz

 Traced by Deadend Fx.

I opted for a layout for the stock circuit without the three additional Deadend Fx controls. Note that there is some intended noise is coming through with the Gain pot is dimed which is perfectly normal, it a part of the design.
