Show your pedal guts!

Nice one!

I was playing around with the Fuzz Face on the breadboard, trying lots of transistors and whatnot, and ended up putting this together. It's an NPN hybrid FF with NOS TI BC183 and a TI 2N1302. Sounds huge and cleans up great!

Heathkit TA-28 with clean JFet output boost, voltage regulator (to 1.5V) and relayed true bypass in an etched 1590B will all top jacks:








Sunn Buzz modified for bass, internal voltage regulator (to 1.5V) and relayed true bypass in an etched 1590B will all top jacks:

Turned out great Travis, I knew you'd put that 741 to good use.

Here's a Green Russian Big Muff modified with a clean blend (mini jfet blend) in green Hammerite.  

[M. Spencer]

Built with trial and error for a friend in a reggae band. It's an Earthquaker Devices Ghost Echo with a switchable LDR to control the Attack, and a feedback/LDR override on a DPDT momentary stomp for wild modulated delay/noise.

[Travis]

Thanks dude. That 741 is super cool. Still deciding on what to do with the other IC

That muff looks super nice!! The ceramic caps are a nice choice. The green sovtek muff used film caps but ceramic just seems right anyways.

[M. Spencer]

If there's any truth to the "ceramics pick up more noise" adage, then I wanted that noise inside that muff!

Hey Travis,

Don't know if you got your answer yet...

If you google art nouveau font you get a lot alike.


I think this particular one is the free Boecklins Universe font   :)

I have a question for you too John. What is that font called?

it's called TR Arabia.

[johnk]

Echoplex preamp with 3 gain modes. not an emulator since the circuit is from an actual echoplex.

[Synsound]

Damn! That is beautiful John. Nice work.

Blue Animal Deluxe.
Crossover between Rockett "Blue note" and "Animal" pedals.
It has the animal gain and both pedals boost modes.
I moved the boost toggle switch to a stompswitch and used the toggle for 2 different boost volume presets: Higher, (normal boost level), and lower , (via internal trimmer).

Klon.  D9E diodes.  125b enclosure. Etched using a vinyl etchmask.

[ξεναγος νεκροπολης]

cool!!
did you soldered your pot wires at the back of the board????
clever!!!

[Sensei Tim]

Yeah. I started doing that to help things look cleaner and I think is also helps with strain relief - you don't have wires doing a 180 degree low radius bend.

[rocket88]

interesting concept. i may have to give that a try one of these days. great build btw.

MXR Distortion II with added baxandall treble & bass controls and relayed true bypass in an etched 125B:

i don't know why, but this one makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside ;)

[M. Spencer]

John, your builds are nothing short of inspiring.

[squirrels]

Monolith Oracle. First germanium fuzz that isn't a Fuzz Factory. Awesome.
