The LOWRIDER is a pcb from inverted cross audio, it's a RAT at heart with some additions.
LEVEL, FILTER, GAIN are your usual supects ... then,
CLEAN is the balance between the clean signal (processed by BODY) and the distorted signal
BODY is a low pass filter applied to clean signal,
SHAPE is a high pass filter on the dirt side (also a gain modifier)
Switches:
CLIP : Silicon/Led/Germanium
SHAPE : 3 types of high pass filter (gain modifier)
Uses two J201 (smd) and an OP07. It was a bit of a b*tch to put toghether, not only for the smd fiddling, but mainly because the BoM and PCB were not having the same numbers for the components ... I had to continuity beep my way around the pcb, checking with the schematic, to make sure I'd put the components into the correct slots... and finally off board wiring for the switches, meh ...
Oh well, maybe I'm just too spoiled ... or old?
But hey, it sounds great and has a lot of options that come in handy with bass, so in the end, it was worth building it.
And a pcb from Fuzzdog, that's supposed to be the Fuzzlord FET120, loosely based on the OR-120 delivering the "classic tones of 70s OR series amplifiers".
Yep, it sure does that, sounds great on bass and guitar (and probably anything else).
GAIN goes from adding some hair to the enlarged balls of your tone to fuzzy and saturated sounds.
Uses 2N5457 (as recommended by Fuzzdog).
