I searched for gut shots of this one and didn't find any. So, I am just letting you know that I've got a hold of this one and hope to put up the gut shots this weekend. That is, if anyone is interested... :D
So I had never heard of the church of Tone.
An old friend of mine bought one of my DS1 pedals and he asked me if I were still fixing stuff and I said yes.
He had he said it with an older model.
Didn't work from the day he got it had the Box and everything.
I cracked it open and I looked at the board and noticed there's 2 capacitors missing.
Lo and behold it's the input and the output capacitors.
Now the strange thing is this is the exact same schematic layout as everything that I have...
I give you the W hisper of Screams - a trace of the Kasha OD Guitar pedal. One of the best, oddest, yet simplest, circuits in guitar pedals I've ever encountered.
This post is my contribution to the pedal building community in resurrecting this rare find.
This thing rips and has only two active components - a pair of JFETs. No diodes were used or harmed in the creation of this circuit. Yet, it can can deliver a clean 3db boost, all the way up to...
---------------------------------Due to my inexorable photo skill upgrades I'm able to offer the glimpse in side a pedal I usually just leave on because there aren't any bad settings. Sadly, not only has this got traces on both sides , the designer has fabbed a hyper-secret epoxyblob that plugs into an in-line 8 pin socket. For the xistors, he's used common parts . Q1, Q2=J201, Q3=MPSA13, Q4=MPF102. I'd love to use those chromed, slotted pot dialers in my builds if I new where to get them!...
I am very very new to building effects. I am still in the paint by numbers phase. I am only really building clones with PCBs that are readily available. I am hoping to get a better understanding as time goes on and hopefully make some cool stuff of my own.
Anyway, I have a Kingsley Harlot v2. A friend of mine traced it and made the schematic. From what I understand he changed some of the capacitors and resistors, but the original uses 630v polyester caps and 1/2...
Pretty surprised to find this official Honey Bee schematic along with a DIY kit:
Might be old news to some, but I wanted to upload the schematic before it disappears.
Wasn't sure if I should bump the old BJF Honey Bee thread from 2009, the values all match up but I guess it is technically a different version. The old thread is a nice time capsule, pretty funny to see comments like I hear Honey Bee's are vapour wear and may perhaps not exist other than in cyberspace;)
I was just wondering (and hoping BJF could answer this one) if the new Mighty Red distortion is a remake or inspired by the handmade Dyna Red distortion.
I heard some really good coments about the dyna, is it still being made?
Hi! I have an interesting device. I started working on drawing his schematic. Everything is clear. Give me time and I'll draw a diagram. If someone already has a scheme, we will cooperate. :horsey:
I had only limited time with one and was able to take this pic and write down all the component values. I took a pic of the values I wrote down, just ask if some cant be seen. I wish I could have taken out the pcb and got a trace side pic but it wasn't my pedal and they wouldn't let me. Maybe someone else can get a trace side photo or from the components piece together how it works.
Does anyone have this pedal? I really like its sound, but I have no opportunity to buy it. Based on the gut shots I found on the Internet, it looks like a hybrid between op-amp and classic big muff

If someone is also interested in this pedal and he can understand the circuit, or at least the principle of operation of this pedal, I would be very grateful
any body play or have one of these ? curious to find out what mods might have been done to original rat, maybe a refinement of the ruetz mod, which is ok but seems to take off a little too much distortion and makes it less forward overall.
Came across a gutshot of this new one from Bearfoot, basically a Bearfoot Blueberry Bass OD with an added treble control:
