Fuzzy Logic

Following the leads of many others, here is a schematic and layout designed for fuzz face experiments using sockets for changing components.
Some of the fuzzes you can make after building this layout are the Basic Fuzz Face (with R.G. Keen Mods, Roger Mayer Mods, Fuller Mods), the Vox Tone Bender 5/67, runoffgroove.com‘s Sili-Faces, fuzzcentral.com‘s Axis Face Germanium and Silicon, Joe Gagan’s Easy Face, Aron Nelson’s Hornet, the Gus Fuzz Face, Tim Escobedo’s Many Faces, the Boutique Fuzz, and the Miss Piggy. All of the schematic sources, and contrasts between fuzzes, are in this ms excel spreadsheet.

B. Blender

Sean MacLennan designed this one. You can find the schematic on his site at seanm.ca. This is one of the first circuits that I built. It blends the input with the input through an effects loop. You can also use it as a straight boost.

Big Muff Pi (Triangle Version)

This is an NPN Triangle Big Muff Pi circuit that I started working on because Dragonfly was looking for verification help with his own layout. I was trying to make something that would fit in a 1590B. It may not be possible, with the three pots and all. 😉 I took the schematic from diystompboxes.com.
