Hello everybody,
I'm looking at some pictures of the more recent version of the Roger Mayer Classic Fuzz, which reportedly incorporates the same modifications that I personally developed for Jimi and can be heard on his early recordings , and I'm wondering how its configuration can be intended. As following:

What I see on the board, apart of the AC128 transistors, is two 10K resistors, one 100K resistor, a 47K trimmer, a 0.01uf film cap, two electrolytics (2,2uf input cap and 22uf fuzz...

Caline Germanium Guitar Fuzz Pedal Vintage CP-46

This inexpensive pedal apprear at Amazon stating this it includes vintage Germanium transistor.
is that really the case?
i could not find inside views to see evidence of such transistors.
any guts view or analysis done?

I don't think I've seen this one anywhere so I traced mine. This is my first trace so I breadboarded it to make sure it checked out.

A few things I noticed.
- Obviously Oliver left some open lugs on the pots. I drew it as is instead of fixing it.
- I didn't draw out the TRS jacks but all four are TRS.
- The Gain pot didnt have any markings and measured at 870k. I'm assuming it's a 1M and it is definitely a C taper. Probably just a part tolerance thing.
-C101 is 4u7. I've never seen a...

Everybody knows that a TS sounds horrible into a Fender, while it sounds great into a Marshall.
Also, everybody knows that a (tube) amp on the often quoted onset of clipping masks a lot of the harsh tones produced by dirt boxes.

Stacking distortion pedals can mimic that. I cannot remember the reason (probably one of Wampler's blogs) for getting the Euphoria,
but this really excels at this job - mimic-ing the amp break-up. I like to use the center setting - all diodes off.

The interesting...

it sounds interesting don't think I'd buy it, is it more than fets being overloaded anyone know ?

Germanium or silicon guns?

Kamadude1216 and I traced this over at the PedalPCB forum , but figured we'd share it here, too. So, bottom line upfront, here's the schematic:

With that said, let's start off with the gutshot (behind the spoiler).

As you can see, it's built on copperless perfboard with lots of offboard wiring. Everything is gooped with a soft black rubber that was easily removed.

Here's what's underneath the rubber once it's removed:

Unsurprisingly, it's quite similar to the Paul Trombetta...

Had one of these show up for repair with intermittent signal issues, initially saw a cheapo looking 22uf that I desoldered to replace, then while moving the board around to get photos, found the actual issue: poor soldering on one of the pot lugs allowed a lead to come loose and finally pop out entirely when presented with a small amount of direct physical interaction.

Transistors are 2N3906, blue caps are 47n, 22n, big red cap is 100n. Didn’t bother removing the knobs to get a look at the pot...

Hi all!

I searched for it but no dedicated post was made on this effect pedal. There is one on the 'Probe series' but all probe pedals are discussed there.

I got one in for some TLC and to add a LED. The owner makes a lot of nice noise music but in the wash of his playing he couldn't hear if the pedal was on or off. I added an LED to the pedal (and a DC jack / he just cut a hole in the side to get a wire in)

You can find pics and a schematic in my blog; check the link in my sig.

I traced...

Hello,
I haven't seen anyone do this yet, so I thought I'd get one and trace it! Please let me know if there's anything that you see that looks obnoxiously wrong, or if there's anything that you think I may have missed.

Hi,

i'm the founder of LEMON Amps , and here is the schematic of the Dirty Booster.
