I found these layouts of the actual boards in the Made by Mike Dist II's with his changes. In my notes I have it written that C9 may be a typo. I then wanted to have the original stock values and used these updated values on the same layout uploaded earlier by NickC. I was only a couple of...

Mine really benefited from using the W100K pots.

"On yours, does turning the Bass pot down also lower the volume a bit toward the full rotation?" There's no volume change, other than what's expected when you cut the lows. I also tend to play into some amount of crunch or drive that compresses things I found that the mod depends a lot on...

I can't answer your question, but I also like the G&L PTB setup. I put it in a Strat with H-S-H config to tame the woofy neck pickup and picked up a couple more C1M pots from G&L.

On my build, I made the "clean" trim pot into an external control to work with different pickups. You're meant to use your guitar's volume control for that, but this helps if you use extra hot humbuckers, like I do. That mod is offered for $25 on the real ones. This picture is from a nearly 300...

You're all making me want to try out some flatwounds for doom. I've got the fuzzes covered.

I got 12 sets of the bulk packs at Juststrings.com as it comes out to about $4 a set and I can pick out my own gauges. What started me off was trying out the D'Addario balanced sets which felt better, but I like heavier lower strings. I got one of their balanced bass sets, and am happy with...

I built two on strip board using the Soy Sauce schematic. Because the octave was so quiet and tracks so well, I thought nothing was happening. I then used a splitter, recording the Meatbox's signal direct where I could adjust the level, and saw just how much low end it boosts. It also really...

Thanks for all the information. I hadn't checked Parasit's social media and am now catching up. Ladder to the Moon and Liberation Frequency sound cool. Agreed on the C19! Even though it's not mentioned in the Sonic Reducer manual, I see the M1/M2 pads for the mod board on the PCB. I'm...

I have an Arcadiator (v2.5 though) I haven't placed in an enclosure yet. Is that a 1590BB, or a taller BBS/BB2? I also have the mod board, but was hesitant to combine them as the mod's instructions say other future projects will allow its use. I haven't seen any yet though. This builder says...

You can find Fuzzhead's original schematic here. You'll have to trace it though, as the component numbering doesn't match. https://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2020/10/fuzzhead-fx-stoner-bee.html

Try the Skreddy Hybrid Fuzz Driver. It's very close to the Screwdriver, and was traced here. https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/hybrid-fuzz-driver.3517/ https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/aldrin-lunar-module-to-hybrid-fuzz-driver-transformation-bom-comparison-updated.1401/ Then there's the...

How does it sound for you? It looks like a boosted germanium fuzz face with a lot of EQ, but tuned for metal? I haven't seen any commercial PCB's anywhere. I'll probably have to try a stripboard build.

I built Blower Box clone with bass/treble and it's great. It can get very fuzzy and heavy. http://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2019/06/idiotbox-blower-box.html The Dunwich Volt Thrower adds clipping options (There's another version with a mid control, which I'd like to see)...

I also like the Carcosa which led me to its inspiration and my current build, the Maestro FZ-1S. It has a clean blend so you can have all out fuzz, and clarity at the same time. I wanted to keep the FZ-1S stock, but it needs some volume and gating tweaks. The improvements on the Carcosa work...
