Univox Super Fuzz
This is a clone of the Univox Super Fuzz. I built a few of these here. This one uses a matched transistor pair: LM394CH. I thought this would enhance the octave effect since matched transistors enhance this effect. Seems like…

Super Fuzz v2
This is a second version of the Univox Super Fuzz. Check out the first version in these posts. The first version fit a 1590BB sized box. This time I thought I’d try and get it into a smaller 1590B box…
Another Super Fuzz!
Another Super Fuzz build. I used the first PCB I designed from a post over at FreeStompBoxes.org, read about that first build here. This one looked good but it didn’t work! I put it aside because the problem wasn’t obvious.…
Super Fuzz Build!
Build your own Super Fuzz! The Super Fuzz is an octave fuzz used by Pete Townsend, Muddy Honey, J. Mascis and others. Read this post to learn more about the Super Fuzz. Build Your Super Fuzz Here is the schematic…
Scuzz Box
This is a a second build of Distort-O-Matic XI from Stompboxology. Read more about the first version of the project here and here, and a demo. The first version of the PCB had a couple mistakes which I fixed with…
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.
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…
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…
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…
Distort-o-Matic XI Stompboxology
Here’s another project from Nicholas Boscorelli’s Stomboxology newsletter: Going Discreet. Described by the author as: All-transistor distortion box with aggressive tone controls. Nicholas Boscorelli When I look at this I see a diode clipper similar to the Electra, DOD 250,…
