This maybe my favorite circuit. It has a ton of raw power and versatility for different genres of music. I breadboarded this circuit and had my transistors picked out, but when I put it all together, it just wasn’t right. It had too much gain and feedback. I lowered the HFe on Q3 and that did...

Check out this circuit. I breadboarded it. It wasn’t good, but I didn’t like it enough to build. I would give it a go, especially if you have a ton of low gain transistors. https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2013/02/madferret-germageddon.html?m=1 I would also second the tonebender circuits...

I love the sound of it. It is definitely in between the a MK1’s more gated fuzz and a Burns Buzzaround.

Thanks! It was a fun build!

Thanks!

Yep. I think I got this one from Amplified parts. It even came with a white washer. 🤣

I have really enjoyed Amified Parts’ layouts. They are fun to make and can make some great sounding fuzz. The hardest part is finding the right transistors. I got a bunch of Russian transistors from alexer1 on eBay. They are good transistors, but they don’t have much leakage. With these, I...

Sweet! I was hoping for a vintage vibe! Thanks! I am glad that the Stickman approves! I'll make sure to do a build report!

@Stickman393 Do you have this in your database? If not, any measurements I can do to include it.

Yea. His layout is amazing. There are resisters even hidden under both of the delay chips!

I printed this one with Tayda. Admittedly, I think I drilled the holes a little off. The FB pots do not sit as flushed as I wanted. If you want the art layout, I can put it in the art repository.

This is a fantastic dual delay. If you enjoy rhythmic delays or run two delays bouncing off of each other, then you will love this one. Like other VFE builds, the build is tough because the board is jam packed. With tight builds, I find it imperative to clean the board, so that you can clearly...

Haha! I don’t think I am proficient enough to make it sound anything like AIC or a fentanyl haze!

If you didn’t know, these circuits are Funny Little Boxes’ attempt to recreate several grunge/alternative best sounds. Stone Age emulates Queens of the Stone Age, Can of Worms is Alice In Chains and Plaid Preamp is Pearl Jam. I really enjoyed these pedals and they did a great job finding the...

Sweet! That was an easy fix. Thanks!

@temol, @szukalski, and @neiltheseal - Thanks again for all the help. These comments are really helpful, and I am starting to see the picture more clearly. I recognize that the project is probably more ambitious, but I was going to give it a go for a couple more attempts. Let me know your...

@neiltheseal , @temol , and @szukalski - these are great suggestions. Thanks! Let me go back and give it a try without the auto routing and see if that cleans it up. @neiltheseal - your comment about the ground pour helps clear up my confusion, so thanks!

I am new at the PCB design (in otherwords, I have never done it), and was wanting to expand my abilities. I was hoping that some of the guru's could critique these PCBs and give me some tips. I used the PedalPCB schematic and layout for the Burns Buzzaround (@Robert - If it is not ok to do...

I had the same issue too. I tuned it by ear. It sounds great, but it does make me wonder if it would sound greater if properly tuned…. I was told that the Fluke has a model that will measure the frequency.
