Parentheses Fuzz Noise
I built a few of PedalPCBs Parentheses Fuzz. great clone of the EarthQuaker Life Pedal. All of the pedals I built seem to have whistling noise/oscillation sound when the Gain and Octave are at 100%. I haven’t played an original Life pedal so I’m not sure if it has this same issue. The noise sounds…

Parentheses Fuzz #4
This is a clone of the Earth Quaker Devices Life. Which is a great octave fuzz. The foot switches left to right are: Boost, Octave, Bypass, The knobs left to right: Boost, Distortion, Filter, Volume, Octave. The center top knob is a four position switch that chooses the clipping type. The circuit uses an octave…

What does it sound like? This thing sounds lightly. It has a distortion, boost, and a switchable octave.…

Parentheses Fuzz #3 EQD Life Clone
I got three boards from Pedal PCB. This is a pretty good project. It cost a bit more than the usual 1590B sized projects. It works well and sounds great. I’m keeping one and selling the other two on Reverb as a way to support my hobby. Check this out on my Reverb shop. Or…

Titan Boost/Ocrave – John Hollis
John Hollis Titan boost/octave. This is an op amp input pre amp/booster into a transformer. The transformer is 1k/20k and can output 30v from a 9v battery. The switch inserts a diode bridge for an octave effect. The sound of the boost warm and clear. The octave effect is pretty good and different from other…

Titan Boost-Octave
I built this some years ago, and lost the ages on my blog so I thought I’d repost them. This was a idea posted by John Hollis, whatever happened to him?

Ampeg Scrambler
Wired up this ampeg scrambler board I’ve had for a while. I’ve been trying to finish up all of the unfinished projects from the last few years. Fired up first test. I used MPSA13 transistors. I got the PCB from John Lyons on DIYStompboxes. It’s the tone pad layout. The layout is set up for…
