Browsing the internet today, I found this: Looks like they have mocked up a Boss style enclosure using PCB material, hard to tell for sure. Great work! I love a custom enclosure.Explore this site and translate some pages, there…
This is a Rat Clone. I made this with an LM308 in a “can”, the TO-99 package. I also used a DeMont 3PDT. This is a high quality switch that is rated to last for 200,000+ cycles. Those standard blue…
Awhile back I built the Big Muff Plus by Mic Tester, over at FreeStompBoxes.org. This is a Big Muff with a JFET input and output buffer, and a James tone stack, which offers Bass and Treble controls, for a wider…
I put a star in the title of this post because my analysis is going to be really rudimentary and amateur. It’s just where I’m at in my understanding. That said lets look at the Vulcan, which is a great…
I know they warned us. I’m so sad about this. They want people to migrate to Fusion but, it costs $940 per year. That’s crazy. So expensive. How many people are paying a thousand dollars a year for software support…
There was a very enthusiastic turn out at the last pedal building workshop. We had some successful bread boarding, drilled a few enclosures, and debugged a couple problem pedals. Thanks to Tayda Electronics, and Stomp Box Parts for sponsoring the…
I looked at the ETI Hyper Fuzz in a post, and again in another post. As mentioned this shares a lot with the Crowther Prunes and Custard. The original ETI Hyper Fuzz had a complicated, or at least confusing to…
I wrote about this circuit sample here. Mark Hammer posted this over at DYStompboxes.com forum. I think it was probably meant for synthesizers. It looks a lot like the kinds of things people are doing with guitar pedals! I used…
I wonder where Jeff Doucette of Sustain Punch infamy is today? hard to believe that was a big deal 20 years ago. I built a clone of this many years ago, and it was my favorite Big Muff at the…
I broke out the synthesizer and ran a sine wave into the ETI Hyper Fuzz, and examined the output on the Mordax Data. I think the fuzz tone is good the scope view is not super exciting, looks like a…
I made another one of these Bluesbreaker variants. The first one sounded pretty through a Fender Champ, might as well make another! My eyes are not as good as they used to be. I had a solder bridge, and couple…
Someone posted a comment about my original Timmy/Jimmy build. I was never happy with this and not sure if I got it right. It didn’t sound bad, it didn’t sound great, to me. Maybe it was right but Timmy just…
