    Catalinbread Heliotrope but more better

    Has anyone ever though "I wish this bit crusher had distortion!"? Not me. Love the pedal but the Gain control is wasted space. So I cut out those clippers and set the gain at a good level. The carrier sound in bypass had to go too so in went a Millennium Bypass. Why have a two position switch...

    DBA Sound Saw - Help with nuisance issues

    Looking for a little advice. I breadboarded this and like it quite a bit. So I drew the schematic out so someone could actually read it. I went ahead and fixed the pots so it was "correct". I also added power filtering and a PDR at Input. Couple of problems: The Filter switch makes a popping...

    I got Muffins on the Protoboard!

    I really struggle with the muff tone stack. I totally agree with you, too much treble. I usually change the values to give a flatter response. You can mess with it here to get a visual of the frequency response and try stuff. tonestack.yuriturov.com

    Overloader! (6 Transistor Big Muff)

    Im not sure what would be a 1:1 equivalent but try what's on hand and see what sounds good. After all ehx famously used what was cheap and available and now we have all the variants we obsess over.

    Overloader! (6 Transistor Big Muff)

    It sounded fine. Its a real hair splitting kinda thing. But if I a/b them it's different enough that prefer it the way it is. You could go all 2n5088,bc549,bc546,2n3904 off the top of my head and sound good.

    Overloader! (6 Transistor Big Muff)

    5088 is a solid transistor for just about anything and most of us have plenty on hand. I wish I had a technical reason I could give for the bc549c but it really was what sounded best to me. I tried a ton of choices and things worked best when Q2/3 were different from the others. It brought some...

    Overloader! (6 Transistor Big Muff)

    Thanks for catching that error. Its supposed to be 22K. I fixed it on the schematic so its clear.

    Overloader! (6 Transistor Big Muff)

    BEHOLD! The OVERLOADER! Just a big muff that was tweaked and tweaked until it was great. Then I started experimenting with a way to blow it out more effectively than a boost in front. I put a Bass Boost in between clipping stages with a blend. Gain and Overload(Bass Blend) are very interactive...

    Boss FZ 2 Hyper Fuzz - Blend, Bend & Beyond

    Hi all. As much as i love Electric Wizard i just don't play like them. Suffice to say the board has been sitting in a pile of never getting boxed things so i started to tinker. Here is the final product and it finally got boxed and everything...

    Sib! Mr Echo

    Traced my original and modded for longer delays. The filtering on this one is pretty unique so the longer repeats dont get much chip noise. I put in soft switching for the surge switch too. For some reason the high gloss clear coat came out suuuuuper high gloss.

    Plague Spreader

    Im adding the Led into the existing circuit. It also swaps a resistor in the filters off pin 2.
