Three One Knob Wonders in One- The Fixie

[Pauleo1214]

Using some PCBs I got from Tayda and inspired by the hipster bike messengers (with their one-gear bikes) from my days in Baltimore, I decided to make a combo pedal in a 1590B. It features a COT50 into a One Knob Fuzz into a Linear Booster. I think I may have used a wrong value capacitor/ resistor somewhere in the COT50 because I don't get the gain I want out of it but it's still breaks up nicely when dimed. Hope you enjoy.

Nice! Which diodes did you use on the COT?

Looks like it’s a 1590B though…
Still a good use of all that space!

What a great concept for a pedal!


I've got an SS, but have yet to build a true fixie — I don't think my knees could handle it.

I am too old... yes, too old to begin the fixie training.
