5 Knobs
Here’s an idea I have been wanting to try in a stompbox. Small Bear carries post with long leads that can be used to mount the pot to PCB. I thought these might be good for mounting a board inside…
Punch In the Face
Here’s another unique design by Tim Escobedo.
Minibooster
This is Jack Orman‘s Minibooster.
FET Driver
This is Tim Escobedo‘s FET Driver.
Jinx
This is another fine little Distortion by Tim Escobedo. I think this sounds pretty good. The sound can go from mildly distortion/overdrive to over the top almost metal. It can also get some splatty fuzz tones and a soft attack.
Push Me Pull You
This is Tim Escobedo‘s Push Me Pull You. It’s an octave up with an interesting design. Using an NPN PNP pair.
Psychtar
Another very original design by Tim Escobedo. This an octave up with a sitar like sound.
Titan Boost/Octave
This is design by John Hollis. It’s a booster that uses an inductor to generate a massive boost. It also has a switchable octave up. The boost sound is very warm and clear. The octave has a nice tone also.…
Swollen Pickle
This is Way Huge Swollen pickle clone I made. This is basically a Big Muff with using a 14 pin DIP that contains 4 transistors. The tone control also has a pronounced mid scoop compared to the original Big Muff.…
FET Muff
I just built up Jack Orman’s FET Muff. This is Big Muff built with FET’s instead of BJT’s. When I created the layout I had the idea that I would keep all of transistors in line so I could use…
MOSFET Boost
This is Jack Orman’s MosFET Boost. This was an easy build. It sounds good, great clean boost with a lot of gain.
