Shameless Plug…
I entered my PCB design in the PCBWay design contest vote for me! This is a PCB for Tim Escobedo’s Ugly Face. Anyone that hasn’t built one of these you should try it. You won’t play it on every…
Ugly Face PCB on PCBWay
I designed this PCB for Tim Escobedo’s Ugly Face and had it manufactured at PCBWay. I used Eagle PCB to design the board. The process was not hard with a little research. I started by finding the PCBWay Eagle DRU…
Big Muff – Green Russian Clone Demo
Demo of the Green Russian clone. It’s got a lot of bass! Built this from a Madbean PCB.
Small Bear is closing down!
sadly Small Bear Electronics is closing down. I have been buying parts from them for what could be 20 years now! My memory is failing me but has to be close to 20 years. They were pretty much the first…
PCBWay PCB Service
Tried a new service: PCBWay.com. I used one of the boards I had designed in EAGLE PCB. PCBWay PCBWay looks like a larger service with more to offer. They have a lot of options and it’s a bit of a…
Two Haunting Mids!
Here are two more Haunting Mids fuzz. These came out pretty good. Check out the project page you can order PCBs from OSH Park and build your own! This is a great sounding Big Variant. It’s unique in that it…
Milling some new enclosures…
Super Frequency
I made some ugly face PCBs back in 2009 and had a couple left over. I built this up when I first got the mill. The Ugly Face is a DIY classic invented byTim Escobedo way back in the early…
Big Muff clone
This is another Big Muff clone. It’s a green Russian built with a Madbean PCB. I milled the enclosure. Big Muff clone was originally published on Super-Freq

Fuzz Factory #3
Another Fuzz Factory clone. I used silicon transistors for this build I didn’t have any germanium transistors with the right gains. I think lower gain silicon works best here. I used a couple 2N5401 with gains of 115 and 120.…
Stompbox Studies – Class 1
Want to build your own effects pedals? A good place to start is understanding how transistors work. Transistors are those three-legged devices seen populating many stompbox circuits. Transistors are a core building block in electronics. Integrated circuits, like op-amps, are…
