Here are some of my recent ones


one knob silicon fuzz face

two knob silicon fuzz face

meathead deluxe clone (essentially a three knob fuzz face clone then)

This is based on the ROG mayqueen but with altered parts to get it sounding more Rory than Brian biggrin.gif

Would it be an absolute travesty to not include modulation on the binson thing? I would have to ditch some stuff if I added modulation control, but maybe applying a very slight LFO to the thing (without the ability to turn it on or off) would make it sound more 'drum' like? Too many things to consider.

I need to get in on that FV-1 goodness, eventually

 

Will do dudes. Based on my current work schedule, it will be done never, but when that happens (or I even get working code) I'll let ya know thumb.gif I have a spring reverb/trem I need to finish, plus a wah and a fuzz.. all kind of happening at the same time, so it's slow but in the end it will be love.gif


And you, tape, of all the people writing code circles around me, you would be the one to put out some of the greatest stuff. I keep reading new bits that you can do with it and the possibilities of different effects keep growing... I feel like i could code every pedal on my board with it if I just learned the ins and outs of the code icon_lol.gif

they are based on the D.A.M. Meathead, Bazz Fuzz and 5th gear Overdrive circuits...


...but they aren't really clones, they all have changed component values, no mojo parts and just made with whatever I had laying around. Because I wanted them to have one knob I took the drive pot out of the 5th gear and added a fixed resistor for a fixed drive position, it also has different diode clipping from the original. The meathead has different transistors and input cap and the Bazz was my favorite one from a bunch I made with different parts.


They were basically the first DIY circuits I made back in January, they've been hanging around for a while and I just wanted to get them boxed up... they are all fun, I was having a blast playing through them together. smile.gif

I'm actually about to make a Meathead clone soon myself. I think I'll be ordering some parts today. thumb.gif

Do you have any info on the 5th Gear?

Nahnah it's still just an "in my spare time" thing. I'm a Senior Hardware Design Engineer for a 3D Graphics Firm for my day job. If it ever went tits up I'd go full-time on the pedals though.


The DOD Klon is for the guy who makes my Decal designs and Drill Guides, he's brilliant (I pay him in pedals).
