This is another great RunOffGroove project. It’s a unique twist on the classic Ibanez Tube Screamer. The UBE Screamer replaces the op-amps and transistor stages in the Tube Screamer circuit with inverters from a 4049UBE hex inverter. I built this…
I got three boards from Pedal PCB. This is a pretty good project. It cost a bit more than the usual 1590B sized projects. It works well and sounds great. I’m keeping one and selling the other two on Reverb…
Here’s a purple sparkle op-amp Big Muff Clone. This fine specimen is for sale on my Reverb shop. If you’re in familiar, the Big Muff circuit is built around 4 transistors for all of the different versions except for one…
This Haunting Mids clone is on sale on my Reverb shop. If you haven’t heard of Haunting Mids, this is not a clone of the JHS Pedal with the same name, it’s DIY community variant of the Big Muff. It…
This was an Algal Bloom clone by Fuzzhugger. I traded this on r This pedal hits a great heavy fuzz without the dissonant overtones.
this is one of my favorite overdrives. With a dark smooth tone, it’s really an overdrive, rather than a low gain distortion. It really never goes into hard clipping which gives it an expressive dynamic range. I built this from…
Here’s another Life clone. I’d say this is really an evolution of the Life pedal. It has the octave as a switchable option. The octave comes before the fuzz section and is mixed with the input buffer. Makes for a…
Great overdrive/distortion with good dynamics and clarity cleans up well with volume knob. You can buy this one at my Reverb Shop. Or, build your own! Order PCBs from OSH Park and follow the build doc. Vulcan On OSH Park…
Built with PedalPCB.com PCB good range of heavy overdrive through distortion and fuzz tones. I built three of these and put this on my Reverb Shop.
Digidelay. This is a 4 second digital delay with a tap tempo and hi and low pass.
This is a guide to building a Fuzz Face. It’s a step by step set of instructions. The build uses perfboard and mounts the pots on the board which makes a for a clean build with little board wiring. This…
