  • Ugly Face in neon tufts

    Here’s an Ugly Face in a neon tufted fur.

  • So my wife says she needs an auto wah…

    To which my first reaction is to say, in my best thundering voice, “No wife of mine will be sounding like Jerry Garcia!”. Of course I suppress this urge with practiced aplomb. Six years of marriage and I can pin my tongue between my molars with only a slight grimace. Anyway, at this point I’m…

  • Fuzzy Elephant

    Here’s a clone of the Zvex Wooly Mammoth. Came out pretty good, sounds good too. I used strip board layout here: http://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=4&start=40 It’s about halfway down the page. I modified it to move the parts closer together. My layout ended up being 17 holes wide which fit in the box a little better. I used…

  • Fuzz Face for Joe part 2

    Here’s Fuzz Face wired up and stuffed in a “B” sized box. This box is from 4Site electronics. Great finish and excellent screws much better than the Taiwanese boxes that are commonly available.

  • Fuzz Face For Joe

    A few pictures of a Fuzz Face I made for a Joe. Turns out Joe hadn’t heard of the Fuzz Face. So I thought I make one for him. This one uses a Silicon 2n3906 for Q1 and a Germanium transistor for Q2. The Germanium transistor is a Chinese model not sure what the number…

  • The Mouse by Lectrosonics

    I found this on the street some years ago. I dug it from under my desk today and took some pictures. Not sure what to do with it. I assumed it was broken since it was on the street.Not sure how to test this. Looks like it has two rechargeable batteries inside, with a jack…

  • New Guitar

    Sometimes you have to buy a new guitar. Sometimes you just give in. I saw this and was inspired. Not sure why, it does have a unique look. I figured the expense was not justified. After thinking about this for a week, I came up with the idea to hawk some old junk on ebay.…

  • Silicon Tone Bender take 2

    Whenever I build something I usually build two. The parts are cheap. If I make a mistake or the PCB doesn’t etch correctly I have a spare. If you build the first and it doesn’t work you can build the second and compare the two. In the case of the Silicon Tone Bender I used…

  • Silicon Tonebender

    I built this Silicon Tonebender posted by mictester over on Freestompboxes. I used this layout. Everything worked the first try and it sounds good. I used BC109CN for transistors. These sounded good and have that metal can with a little tab mojo. I used a ceramic .1µf cap for the input cap and skipped the…

  • Paul Falstad’s Circuit Sim

    If you are into making things with electronics you probably need to test them out from time to time. Paul Falstad has a really great on line circuit simulation app. It’s a Java applet. Try it out here:  http://falstad.com/circuit/ Here’s a picture of a Fuzz Face I mocked up. Notice the scope at the bottom.…
