Elktronics Fuzz
Here is an interesting fuzz built around the CA3046/3086 transistor array. Looks like a Fuzz Face/Tone Bender built around the low gain transistors in the 3046 This is a pedal from Elktronics. Looks like they sold out of their first…

Scuzz Box v1.1
This is a second version of the Distort-O-Matic XI from stompboxology. You can read about the first versions here, and here. Distort-o-matic XI is described as a distortion box with an aggressive tone control. In more concrete terms it’s a…
Distort-o-Matic XI demo
This is an audio demo of the Distort-o-matic XI from Stompboxology. Check out my build page for a schematic and images of the finished project.
The Sultan Fuzz
This is my entry in the End of Days Fuzz Challenge 2022. Based on the Fuzz Face with an added two band tone control similar to the tone controls on Orange and Ampeg amplifiers. I wrote about this circuit in…
Super-Fuzz V2
I updated the Super-Fuzz Board to fix a problem with the last version. The prototyping service at PCBWay.com is very inexpensive, which facilitates my workflow. The schematic I used for this project came from Freestompboxes.org. It’s based on the original with a…
Ugly Face black with dots
I did another Ugly Face. This time on a black gloss enclosure with milled dot pattern. Milling this design took over an hour. These enclosures are not flat on top! Some of the dots on the upper right did not…
Stone Bender #2
This pedal sounds so good I had to make another! Check out my first build and the build page. I manufactured these boards at PCBWay.com. This board is posted at the PCBWay Shared service. You can order and build it for I…
Univox Super Fuzz
Super Fuzz is a circuit that has many variations. It’s one of the popular building blocks that has been used for decades. It’s built around a full wave rectifier that produces an octave fuzz sound. similar circuits that use the…
The Baron
This is my second entry in the End of Days Fuzz Challenge! The idea was to build a circuit similar to the Proco Rat replacing the LM308 with the LM386. The LM308 is a single op-amp the LM386 is an…
End of Days Fuzz Challenge
End of Days Fuzz Challenge is a challenge to make develop new Fuzz circuits. Here’s a description from the web site: It is an open invitation for pedal builders/ companies of all levels. If you – or anyone you know…
Bork Bork
Just built up a Bork Bork from Breakfast Audio. This is a clone of the Ibanez Wau Wau Fuzz. As far as I my “in depth” research can tell the Wau Wau Fuzz was originally a Fuzz and Wah in…
Kay Fuzz Tone
Here is a kay Fuzztone clone. This is an octave-type fuzz that uses a full-wave rectifier. It is similar to the Super Fuzz and all its variants. The Kay Fuzz Tone uses fewer transistors than the Super Fuzz so you…
