  • Ring Modu-Matic take two

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

  • 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…

  • 5 Knobs

    Here’s an idea I have been wanting to try in a stompbox. Small Bear carries post with long leads that can be used to mount the pot to PCB. I thought these might be good for mounting a board inside an enclosure. This is a clone of everyone’s favorite 5 knob fuzz. This seemed to…

  • Revolting Visage

    Here’s my take on the Ugly Face/Crash Sync. I took my favorite parts of both and a few suggestions from RunOffGroove and the DIYStompboxes forum. This version uses a different input buffer, which more closely resembles the input of the Crash Sync. Though it has a greater gain. I found this gave more sustain. The…

  • MOSFET Boost Layout

    Here’s a layout for the MosFET boost. The drawing is pretty sloppy. But this shows the schematic and layout I used for my build. Seemed to work well. Here’s a link to a picture of my build. Here’s a link to the schematic on Muzique.com

  • 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…
