I saw a thread on this one but I thought that i'd post a new layout for it that I can verify that it works perfectly. one chane that I made on mine was that, since I found the pedal to already be a little dark, I found no need for the 3 position bright switch. I used 9mm right angle pots on mine to minimize the wiring. anyway, here's mine in a 1590B with a relayed true bypass:
One guy up here in north contacted me and asked if i was interested in buying a pedal off from him. The pedal was RaygunFX Octavia Phuzz and he told me that it had a slight popping noise on switch and the LED was dead. The pedal was in the same condition as it was when he received it from the manufacturer a few weeks ago. I figured that i could buy it and see if i could fix it. My guess was, as usual, a missing pulldown from the input and a bad luck...
Here are some gut shots of an E-Wave delay that I have. I don't know the first thing about delay circuits and am trying to find out if this is an analog delay or an analog voiced digital delay. It has a pretty short delay time but I think it works and sounds nice enough for my needs. Sorry for the crappy pics. I know it can't be traced from these pics but I was hoping it would give enough info to get my question answered. Any help is appreciated.
We made a few of these and sold them on ebay in late 2007. I remembered about it when reading another thread and OTA's came up.
I thought I'd let anyone who wants to take a look at it, build it, or do whatever with it.
I limited my self to a dual opamp, and the dual OTA because I wanted to fit it in a 1590B enclosure. Otherwise i probably would have used two more opamp stages rather than the Jfet input and especially the BJT output buffer... Or I could have just replaced the output buffer...
Very bright-sounding fuzz I bought used a while back. Ended up needing repairs shortly after I got it, for reasons which should quickly be evident. Note the giant mojo film caps.

Here's the schematic. Please tell me if you find any mistakes!
We usually include schematics in the user manual. We weren't able to do that this time because the user manual had to be small enough to fit into a box only slightly bigger than the pedal, and the schematic would have been illegible at that scale. I'll eventually get around to uploading the schematic on our website. In the meantime, here it is.

Ok, so this is obviously the Shin-ei FY-6 circuit with a few relatively simple mods. I'll explain each of them.
Hi! I've been looking for a great amp-like sounding circuit to build and came across a demo of this pedal:
I know, it's relatively new, but still, maybe someone had already attempted to trace this circuit. Please share your thoughts, gutshots or any info on this great sounding pedal.
August 13th 2009: All information on the SHO has been summarized into this Super Hard On Booster project page .
Please if you want to build, have built or want to repair nor modify this pedal look into the links on project page before starting a new thread. If you find mistake, typo's, dead links or anything else that shouldn't be there, please use the Report button
Wondering if anyone has anything for the Lovepedal EnglishWOMAN, as I'm itching to take a crack at building one. Searching around all evening has turned up nothing whatsoever. The EnglishMAN, I can find. But not the lass!
Thought I would post some pics of the fairly rare Musicians Sound Design Paranoid fuzz. It's a good sounding pedal that gets close to some Sabbath type tones. Good for Smashing Pumpkins stuff too. It's pretty fuzzy and big muff sounding, but a bit tighter and more focused low end. Pretty well built pedal.
The one thing the pedal could use improving on is the output level volume. It's pretty low, just barely reaches unity with the volume all the way up.
Hi,
I'm not shure if this is the right place for this pedal, as it is not boutique, but it was gooped so anyways...
I had this laying around for some time now and thought I'd better post it as is before it gets lost in my pile of layziness :)
So, sorry for the scibbling but it should be good enough for a curious look.
I find this interesting as there are no clipping diodes on the board, even though it's an opamp circuit.
-The opamps are U1: JRC074, U2:TLC2264C
-Caps are not labled
-the strange...
Had the opportunity to have a peek inside a Sludge Hammer the other day, it would have been rude not to.... :D It's a great sounding pedal, very stoner/doom and pretty versatile. The two transistors are J201s. I've edited together a view of the pcb with the under board traces in white, and some best guesses of under-component traces. Shame none of the smd caps are labelled. Merry Christmas everyone!
SAS1.JPG sas2.JPG sas3.JPG sas4.JPG sas5.JPG sas6.JPG Fryette left VHT, kept his circuits and started Fryette where he primarily builds amps. He has done a small line of tube based distortions and I guess they haven't sold well, this was on sale at GC when I stopped in and for an EF86 based pedal running at full voltage, I had to take a look! There are a couple of reasons I believe his contention that this is a high voltage tube: one is that it doesn't pass signal at all till it has time to...
i just traced my new tone freak severe and to my surprise it's basically a crunchbox with some small changes:
the diode clipping circuit is in the feedback loop of the frist opamp: two yellow 3mm leds - no clipper - two ge diodes in series /one si diode.
c4 (acording to matsumins crunchbox schematic) is 51p
c8 47n.
c9 is switchable between 5n6 - no cap - 47n.
r5 560k
gainpot is 250k.
another great example of how a few minor tweaks can turn a good pedal into a killer box...
