    Chua's Diode - Chaos Distortion Circuit

    That'd be rad. Or their One Shot event generator could be fun on bass for synthy sounds. Lanterman's demo didn't show how it reacts to more complex strummed chords, I wonder if it would glitch out like an octave fuzz.

    Chua's Diode - Chaos Distortion Circuit

    I saw that on Lanterman's YouTube channel, it looks (and sounds!) very interesting. I'm thinking I'd want some modulation in the "distortion" parameter as it contributes a lot to the waveshape at different settings. Maybe driven by an envelope?

    This Week on the Breadboard: The Spunk-O-Matic

    In all of my experimentation with the HP circuit I have never thought to try a MOSFET for Q2. BRB gonna breadboard this...

    Eagle vs Kicad

    I'm super bummed that Eagle is going obsolete. I even bought a Windows PC to run it. At this point I'm too busy to stumble around learning and failing at a new system so I'm putting off making a switch. I was planning on EasyEDA but with reports of JLCPCB recently being inaccurate I'll probably...

    Low Gain Silicon Transistors

    I LOVE using low-HFE transistors in a Big Muff. It gets the thick wall of doom sound I'm a sucker for as well as actually usable low gain tones. Try giving it only 5V. The KT*** silicon transistors make great partners with the plentiful low-gain Soviet germanium PNPs for Sziklai pairs.

    Twill Deluxe (Les Lius) to High Power Tweed Twin

    To bypass the footswitch in the "boost" position you'd connect 1 to 2. It looks like 3 and 4 are used to turn on the LED in boost mode. Compare the back half of the Twill Deluxe to the Distortion 250: On the Distortion 250, R4 and C5 make a low-pass filter, rolling off the highs above...

    SOLVED Switch popping and noise galore with Bootleg and Glory Hole

    I've made a couple Moonshines on stripboard a while ago that both pop really badly. I'll have to revisit them with and see if Mr Black's tips help any.

    Twill Deluxe (Les Lius) to High Power Tweed Twin

    The tone switch on the HPTT probably switches out capacitors in a low-pass RC circuit. You know, you could probably reuse the "voice" toggle and the diode spots on the Twill board to recreate this. If you tie a 10K resistor in series with C2 and put a 15nF capacitor in either D3 or D4, and a...

    Twill Deluxe (Les Lius) to High Power Tweed Twin

    I'm not sure about the tone toggle off the top of my head. Regarding the clipping switch, here's Lovepedal's description of how it works: So you'll want to find out which clipping diodes are the High Power Twin setting and set it there (I suspect it's just the pair of silicon diodes). Also...

    Who Else Is Using the 'SpinCAD Designer' App?

    I need to get back into it. I have a bunch of extra PCBs from an old project where I made a version of the VHS (JHS VCR) but with a Golden Fleece for gain (not a clean boost), tremolo instead of chorus, and an extra spacey reverb. I'm hoping to swap the reverb for a phaser to pair with the...

    Best projects for doom metal?

    I recently built a stock Bee Baa and was amazed at how well it sounded on a low-tuned guitar. It seems a fairly niche circuit so I'm not sure how many variations there are available as a PCB, but there are a few stripboard layouts going around: https://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/search?q=bee+baa

    Turn your input buffer (OPAMP) into a (frequency adjustable) boost for 3$

    Excellent stuff! I'm going to put one of these into a guitar. Thanks!

    Digital BBD concept looking for comments and beta testers

    I would LOVE to help test this! Thanks!

    What is your favorite "Big Muff" circuit, and why?

    I really like the OG Version 1 66#5 as it's super creamy, kinda low-gain, and really nails the stoner metal experience. Also a huge fan of the Jordan Creator Model 6000. It's much more of a distortion than fuzz, very cutting, and excellent for a classic rock, high gain tone. Definitely needs the...

    LND150 SHO variant (LND 'HO)

    This is really neat! Any chance of some sound demos? I've tried my hand at swapping an LND150 stage into different things with varying results. Most of the time it's rad, but occasionally I'll get some unwanted harsh clipping or fizz. I'll have to try this schem out!

    Rat with a 3-band EQ?

    If you're into stripboard at all I'd trust this one: ProCo / Fuzzdog 3-Band Rat

    Favorite Big muff variant?

    2nd vote for the Triangle 69 #2. Also a huge fan of the Jordan Creator 6000.

    Don't be surprised if the price of Germanium transistors and diodes goes up

    This guy is rad and can whip up combo packages for savings.

    Missing Build Docs / Schematics

    Any chance of a schematic for the Hydra delay? Thanks!

    TUTORIAL Two Sticks of Derm Fuzz

    I'd start with replacing R5 with a BMP-style tone control. C4 and R5 form a HPF at 0.312 Hz, I'd guess that wouldn't be missed too much if replaced by a full range tone stack. This way the existing emitter/follower stage at the end can act as a recovery stage. Maybe modify that stage for more...
