Flatline

I had wanted build a compressor for a while now. But had never actually gotten around to actually making one. A few months ago I etched and soldered a a Saffron Squeeze, which is a Ross clone. Somehow I had…

Casualty 4 Phaser

Here’s interesting phaseshifter idea I found over at Circuit Workshop. The Casualty 4 is an OTA based phase shifter with two modulated stages and two fixed phase shift stages. This looks like a pretty interesting project. Looks like you can…

Ghost wah

Here’s a Wah probe work alike. Thought this would be a fun build. Someone gave it a good review over at DIYStompboxes so I etched up two boards. just got the parts in the mail and soldered the last parts…

Trmming the NE570

I found some good information on trimming the N570 to help remove unwanted distortion. The chip contains to two identical sections which are mirrored on either side. Pin 3 and 14 provide an input for a control voltage for the…

Termolo-Matic X

This is the Tremolo-Matic X from Stompboxology. I’m in the process of building this for “Jonny” who I met at the last DIY Swap meet. He gave me this box to put it in.This project is coming together nicely.

Ugly Face for Steve

Here’s an Ugly Face I built. I used PnP for the design on top. The transfer was a imperfect. But mostly worked. I’d really like to find a reliable toner transfer that works on these metal boxes.

Old School Layouts

I found these old school layouts by Andy. These look like fun to build the layouts just scream mojo. I think I will have to etch a few of these up and build them with carbon comp resistors and ceramic…

Art of the Stompbox

Looks like one of my Ugly Face’s made it into the “Art of the Stompbox” exhibit at the Museum of Making Music in San Diego. http://www.museumofmakingmusic.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=282&Itemid=41

Sycophant

Here’s my take on the SHO. With crackle free knob. Adjust the value of C3 to create a range boost.

LM386 Gain

I’ve playing around with the 386 Audio Amplifier. This is a really great chip. It has a lot of possibilities. Looking at all of the great circuits that use this I’ve noticed there are many different ways to set the…
