  • MosFET Range boost

    Here’s a simple idea that you will work on almost every transistor circuit out there. We’ll apply it to the MosFET boost here. Remember the gain of the MosFET boost was determined by the Drain and Source resistors. For the example circuit, as the Source resistor decreases in value the gain increases. A capacitor acts…

  • MosFET Gain

    Here’s a typical MosFET boost. The gain is roughly determined by the ratio of Drain and Source resistors. Divide the Drain resistor (Rd) by the Source resistor (Rs) to find the gain. For example if Rd = 5k and Rs = 5k the gain is 1. Use a Pot for Rs to set variable gain.…

  • What am I missing?

    Assume there’s your favorite booster at the input, what is D2 doing? This is the most common clipping arrangement that I have seen. It seems that D2 does nothing. If the boost at the input is running off 9V then the you should have a single that is centered on 4.5V going past the two…

  • MosFet Range Booster

    Here’s a quick idea for a MosFet Range Booster.

  • BB sized template

    Here’s an image of a BB sized template. I have made one of these to test it. Someone asked about it so I thought I’d post an image. This image was created at 200 PPI.

  • Fretboard Journal

    One of the Ugly Face’s that I built got a mention in the Fretboard Journal. No picture though. Which is too bad. They took a picture of a bunch of other more common name brand things. Really Tim Escobedo should have gotten a mention. The people writing these articles need to educate themselves on the…

  • Ring Mod

    Here’s an idea for a ring modulator. I used a 3080 for the balanced modulator from the Ring-Modu-Matic. I used an envelope, from the Meatball,  to control the carrier frequency. This is untested. The controlling the FET to turn on the carrier is going to be a challenge.

  • Ring Modu-Matic take two

    There were a few mistakes in the last version of this. Here’s an updated schematic and PCB.

  • Ring Modu-Matic

    Here’s a PCB and Layout for the Ring Modu-Matic. I have yet to build this yet so use these files at your own risk! The dual gang pot in the lower corner I can’t get rid of, due to my lack of skills with Eagle. Notice the lines connecting the pot to pads on the…

  • Tremolo FX Loop

    This is a first draft of an idea that I have been thinking about for a few months. It’s a Tremolo that pans between the input signal and the signal coming through the FX Loop. If no signal is coming in to the FX Loop it would act as a normal Tremolo. Otherwise it would…

  • Tremolo-Matic X

    This is Tremolo-Matic X from the Tremolo Issue of Stompboxology by Nicolas Boscorelli. I have redrawn the schematic to make it easier to read. Hopefully this will be helpful to anyone attempting this project. This is Tremolo that pans between a treble and bass signal. It inlcudes controls to set the level for both the…
