Minotaur Sonic Terrors - Fuzz and Burn

[Lord Ashram]

Cheers to everyone!
I built quite a few effects from this site and I really appreciate your work! I learned a lot from you!

I recently saw a video of the above mentioned effect and was quite impressed. I also searched for schematics but wasn´t successful. One of the comments I found was that it is a combination of Hyperion (one knob?) and a SHO. I´m not very positive it really is, but anyway: - if somebody has more info on that effect I would really appreciate it.

Thanks a lot!

I don’t know about this particular pedal. But we do have layouts for both the Hyperion and SHO here which are two really great circuits. If you have a breadboard it should be very fun to try those two circuits for yourself

Thanks! I know they´re both online and I´ve built both of them...at least on breadboard...and the "burn"-effect seems to be to be closer to the "overdrive-side" than the SHO is...
The Hyperion has 2 knobs - I´m not sure if it can be built just using 1.

Again: If anyone has more info on that pedal I would highly appreciate it!

There was a custom 1 knob Hyperion called the ION with the input control set on full, or halfway. I've read both descriptions.  I don't know if it relates to this dual pedal though.

So, I finally got myself one and took it apart.

First of all I have to say it sounds just great! I would recommend it for any style of heavier rock music. I enjoyed it a lot!
To make things short - I will not post a schematic here (as it is simply not necessary) and I also appreciate the work of Minotaur a lot.

Imagine an Electra-Distortion in front of a simple, yet a bit modificated, Silicon FuzzFace (without a Fuzz-Pot) with a combined input and output capacitor for the FuzzFaze - and there you go!

Nice, effective and simple! Great pedal!

Thanks for the input this site gave me and
Thanks to all the kind people and their work!
