I'm seeking for this pedal since a while. I only know it's a relative of the Roland AF100 BeeBaa (fuzz only, without the booster).
I was able to find a gut shot on reverb, and by roughly comparing it with a regular Roland BeeBaa schematic, I came to the conclusion that it shall be something like this.
PCB is double sided, so I can 't properly tell all the connections.
What do you think?
Great sound, obviously the circuit has been modded.
Here's what KMA say:
We refined the circuit to get an old school sound with a modern Twist. First of all we brought back the low end and added a bias control to explore new capabilities of the forgotten pedal. The essential SKIN/MEAT knob controls the bias of the circuit. You can dial in a sharp skinny fuzzy tone or a thick and meaty wall of furry.
Here's what I can figure out so far:
Q1 2N222 metal can
Four 1N4148 clipping diodes...
Just came across a clip of this and I like what I hear. It's silicon and Bender-ish and that's about all I could find. Enclosed are two gut shots, sadly without visible what transistors are used and no shots of the trace side.
you can see more gut shots at 1:34-1:45 and 2:23-2:31 min
with several gut shots. The most important one (the PCB) is in view from 1:40-1:58 min.
I recently got a LAL Green Monster, a super rare fuzz and long discontinued pedal by LAL.
Since I opened it to clean it a bit, I decided to take also some gut pictures.
Some notes to the pictures:
True bypass 3PDT footswitch
Pots: Vol 10kB, Sens1 10kB, Sens2 10kB, Sens3 50kB
Wiring: Green GND, Yellow OUT, White IN, Red +9VDC
Opamps are both UA741CP, and there are only 2 components which maybe are a bit tricky to track.
These look like 2 diodes: the black one in the middle of the board (I...
as high gain pedals that sound pretty 'amp-like' go, this is a better than average example. Anyone have any ideas what this circuit is? Of course, it's gooped, but I find it interesting that its a relatively small area that the goop obscures. In the promo video on the Emma website for this pedal, you can briefly see one getting assembled, and it appears to a really low parts count... a few SMD components and it looks like a single 8 pin DIP ic and a single can style transistor or similar...
Typical nice build quality from Barber. Sounds very nice.
Here's the Barber marketing copy:
The Trifecta’s classic three fuzz circuits are based off of the triangle style pi sound, the Jumbo Bender style and the Suppa Bender style with our boutique mods/magic and superior build quality.
I had never looked at the Jumbo or Suppa schematics before, but after checking them out, it makes sense. The Muff, and those two Bender circuits have an awful lot in common.
Seljetnoma kindly sent me some detailed photos of his Rockett Blue Note OD (thanks Frank), and I traced it with his help.
Looks like it's the same board and circuit as the Rockett Animal, with different component values, so someone might like to work out those values from the pic in the other thread and we can solve that one also.
If someone does it and wants to send me the values I can easily update this schemo to the new values, and post it in the other thread.
I like the sound of this one, sorry about the crappy pics.
I can try to take better ones when i get the time.
Forgot to take pics on the potz boards other side...
Looks like charge pump, relay switching, 3 smd jfets, two 5k trimpots for the jfets.
I've been trying to figure out how Way Huge did the Series/Parallel toggle switch in the Camel Toe, either in the original or reissue. Has anyone traced that part of the circuit?
I'm guessing that this topic is unspokenly off limits because there is absolutely nothing in search results for it, here or anywhere else. If I am breaking some unspoken code here by asking please just say so.
It seems to me that no one will trace a D*ellist or any other Kin*tone pedal. Perhaps out of respect for the original maker, which if so, is pretty nice. I'm just really curious about it. I've been looking for some indication of what the mods are to the TS circuit that makes it so...
So. There was one of these for sale as a defect unit on a local forum. Description said that there is some bad contacts or something , but the price was realistic. I already knew this one will be gooped, but went ahead anyway. Got it in the mail and ripped it open as soon as i found the time to do so. Sure enough. Massive loads of clear and black goop. The only real issue with the unit was the standard 3PDT stomp, which didn't work properly. Now, i had it open on my desk and... Well. The pedal...
This is side A of the Duellist dual pedal released as a standalone effect. It's got a couple of changes from what's inside the Duellist, but overall pretty close.

Basically a stripped-down Tube Screamer (Son of Screamer) with several tone options.
Full tracing journal: (includes Duellist and Heavyhand)
This is side B of the Duellist dual pedal released as a standalone effect. It's got several tweaks & added features from what's inside the Duellist, so not a direct clone, though pretty close.

Basically a Bluesbreaker/Prince of Tone with a clipping diode switch and a few different pre-clipping tonal options.

Hopefully this is in the right section. Been recommended to post this here from r/diypedals.
Basically, skip to the bottom to avoid the preamble. But for anyone interested in the background, I know this guy is a scumbag with a history of terrible customer service - but for the longest time I gave him the benefit of the doubt and bought his stuff because his work looked and sounded good.
That was until a couple of weeks ago when I gave one of his pedals that I love, a...
I spent a few days with this pedal and took the opportunity to trace it. Didn't triple check but this time I didn't do it at 2 in the morning so it should be alright !
I don't know if it's a clone or modded clone of something existing, but it'll sure remove the wallpaper of your house in a minute if you want it.
It's LOUD, has TONS OF GAIN, and of course, is very noisy !
I was merely tapped to post this, and I was in no way involved with the reversing or drawing the schem. I don't want it to seem like I am trying to take credit here. I'm just the messenger. :mrgreen:
This has been played around with a bit on the breadboard, and it is believed that the schematic below is in fact an accurate rendering of the BJFE Dyna Red Distortion. The schematic was donated to FSB anonymously. Apparently this version was...
The guys at Catalinbread are pretty cool and published the schematics for the pedal they just released, the Katzenkönig! Sounds amazing in the demos and is basicaly a silicon Tonebender with a Rat clipping and tone section, pretty cool stuff!
The schematics are in the end of the pdf, hope it's ok to post the link here!
I didn't know where else to post this, it seems like a unique situation. My pedal does work, but as you will see, some things regarding the build are disconcerting. Basically, they tend to ship pedals that have too large of an enclosure, and being that it's soft aluminum, they tighten the jack nuts too tight, bending the case and flexing the PCB. My question is, will this impact the pedals longevity? Even though I may have improved the issue already I need to know if the damage has already been...
Any schems around for these guys, in particular this
SUPER OSCILLO FUZZ
sound samples
i know i can make something similar easily enough but i'm still curious as to whats happening inside this one.
i'm really interested in some of these guys effects and may even buy one.lol
8)
Anyone ever see one, open it up?
Supposedly it's similiar to the Jellyroll but uses a silicon transistor to drive a FET?
just looking for something different to build.
