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…
This is Way Huge Swollen pickle clone I made. This is basically a Big Muff with using a 14 pin DIP that contains 4 transistors. The tone control also has a pronounced mid scoop compared to the original Big Muff. I etched this design on the box. The design is based on flames in Tibetan…
I just built up Jack Orman’s FET Muff. This is Big Muff built with FET’s instead of BJT’s. When I created the layout I had the idea that I would keep all of transistors in line so I could use a length of milmax header. I think this made for a better construction. It led…
This is Jack Orman’s MosFET Boost. This was an easy build. It sounds good, great clean boost with a lot of gain.
This is treble booster from the Stompboxology. This was an interesting new letter published by Nicolas Boscorelli. Who has, it seems, disappeared. If anyone has any information about this guy please email me! I looking for issues of Stompboxology. I have a few I can trade. There are some posted at http://moosapotamus.net/. He also published…
This is a Green Ringer with both the filter mod and nulling mod. I found these mods at General Guitar Gadgets. The filter mod filters the input signal to bring out a stronger octave. The nulling mod helps tune in the octave generated by balancing the signal on each half of the wave form. The…
This is an Ugly Face by Tim Escobedo. I think the sound is pretty good. It makes a sort of pulse width modulated square wave via the guitar signal driving a 555. Not for every occasion. But the sound it makes it makes well. I really like this thing, so much in fact that I’ve…
This is Rebote 2 from tonePad.com. It sounds great. Very analog. This build was so fun I built. The design on the box was based on a design I found in a book on Tibetan art. It was a little work to get everything into a B sized box. But after the solder fumes had…
