  • Ugly Face simple blend mod

    Here’s a simple mod that adds a blend pot to the Ugly Face.

  • Distort-o-Matic XI

    This is an interesting distortion effect with an octave and wah like tone control. I redrew this schem from an issues of Stompboxology.

  • Punch In the Face

    Here’s another unique design by Tim Escobedo.

  • Minibooster

    This is Jack Orman‘s Minibooster.

  • FET Driver

    This is Tim Escobedo‘s FET Driver.

  • Jinx

    This is another fine little Distortion by Tim Escobedo. I think this sounds pretty good. The sound can go from mildly distortion/overdrive to over the top almost metal. It can also get some splatty fuzz tones and a soft attack.

  • Push Me Pull You

    This is Tim Escobedo‘s Push Me Pull You. It’s an octave up with an interesting design. Using an NPN PNP pair.

  • Psychtar

    Another very original design by Tim Escobedo. This an octave up with a sitar like sound.

  • Titan Boost/Octave

    This is design by John Hollis. It’s a booster that uses an inductor to generate a massive boost. It also has a switchable octave up. The boost sound is very warm and clear. The octave has a nice tone also. There is a drop in volume between the octave and the boost, since the octave…

  • Swollen Pickle

    This is Way Huge Swollen pickle clone I made. This is basically a Big Muff with using a 14 pin DIP that contains 4 transistors. The tone control also has a pronounced mid scoop compared to the original Big Muff. I etched this design on the box. The design is based on flames in Tibetan…

  • FET Muff

    I just built up Jack Orman’s FET Muff. This is Big Muff built with FET’s instead of BJT’s. When I created the layout I had the idea that I would keep all of transistors in line so I could use a length of milmax header. I think this made for a better construction. It led…

  • MOSFET Boost

    This is Jack Orman’s MosFET Boost. This was an easy build. It sounds good, great clean boost with a lot of gain.
