The Baltimore Sonic Research Institute released the schematics of two early designs, this is their take on the SUPERFUZZ, called FZZ. It has a 3-band EQ and a blend. IN/OUT is like GAIN/VOLUME, I'd say. So, kinda in the HyperFuzz territory, it sounds heavy, fat and brutal. Really good stuff...

Yeah!

Of course, I got my share of sheepy love pretty much as soon as the shop was open. As I've gotten some faceplates a a bonus - thanks Dave - I bought something else than just plain enclosures for those 2 builds. First up, the Sacrifical Lamb which is supposed to sound like the Basic Audio...

Here are some more Monolith ORACLE fuzzes. I recently built the full monty mojo edition and still had some fancy caps (47p, 6.8n, 56n and 1u) left, so I made two more. Both with C taper Density. First a in a 125B, resistors are mostly carbon comp, caps are Silver Mica, Orange and tropical fish...

Thanks and yeah, build one. I'd recommend to use sockets for the GE transistors (NPN) and just try out what you have at hand.

Another DBA circuit, the Germanium Filter. I used the Dirtbox Layout without the bias trimmers, but you need to put the GE transitors "upside down" in good old DBA fashion, as our wizard Chuck pointed out. He has also a thread about this cirucit, here. DBA has an internal trimpot for volume...

Something like "Electric Motor Bass", in Japanese.

This circuit has been designed by N. Williams from Dunwich Amplification. The PCB is available at Godcity Instruments or as a kit at Musikding. I got my minimum order of 3 PCBs from Osh Park, right after Mr. Dunwich released some circuits on Osh. Things got moved to Godcity a while after that...

And the black toggle switch! ;)

Another PCB from the bottom of my drawer. It's from Inverted Cross Audio, I got some of his PCBs quite a while ago and didn't really feel like tackling this one, mainly because there are 3 J201 that need to be SMD ... aka super mühsame Dinger. Also, I've already built some Life Pedal...

I found this PCB after looking at his totally bonkers Big Fuzz Console. Anyway, this here is supposed to be a "faithful recreation of the famous and most sought-after V7C Tall Font Russian Muff" with a Mids control. Transistors are BC547C. It's a very nice looking PCB with space for some...

Taking a stroll on Mojo Avenue ... It's a circuit from Monolith, the Oracle, a 2 transistor fuzz, with 2 high gain GE PNP transistors. Monolith said: "The Oracle Fuzz is my original take on the classic two-transistor British Fuzz circuit, but bears no sonic resemblance to the standard Fuzz...

No schematic, I'm afraid, sorry. Q1 and Q2 are BS170, Q3 is 2N2222A and the IC is a LM386. I think the 50Hz bump comes from the IC.

The Mondo Power Unit has "got what amps crave", according to the PCB. It's a circuit that Dunwich Amps designed and described as "a simple little bass preamp/OD but it has a massive low end bump." That bump, or boost, is supposed to be at 50Hz. It sure does go BOOM when you hit the Bass Boost...
