J. Rockett Boing Reverb
Got a request for this one and we can always do with more reverb. It's a simple one-knob BTDR-2 based circuit and should fit easily in a 1590B. Reverb brick and pot is populated on the solder side. Schematic for reference.

Here's the Mocker. It's a recreation of the on-board fuzz from the Vox UL730, used by the Beatles on Revolver and a bit on Sgt. Peppers. It's fairly simple with most of the mojo coming from the OA200 clipping diodes. Socket and experiment a…
Happy Holidays, everyone. This one seemed like it needed laying out before the year came to a close, so here's the new EXH/JHS colab, the Big Muff 2. It's an op amp based Big Muff that's not like the typical ICBM, but uses 2, 4558s in 3 sof…
Happy Fuzz Friday! Been meaning to redo this one for a while with board mounted pots. A buddy of mine was reminiscing about a Sunface he used to own and wish he still had, so I built this with some OC71s for his 40th b-day. AnalogMan has us…
Happy Fuzz Friday, all. Somehow in 10 years of laying out fuzzes, I've never done this one. Here's the Roland (pre-Boss) AF-60 BeeGee fuzz. Originals use semiconductors you probably don't have in your parts stash, but nothing in mojo territ…

Here's the new boost from Matt Hoopes. Cornish buffer up front, so like the DRV, not a true bypass effect unless you want to wire it that way. Signal is then amplified by half of a 1458 op amp, and then back to back inverting and tone shapi…
This one's gotten a fair amount of hype over the years. It's essentially a Timmy without the bass control and a few different values. The IC and clipping diodes haven't been confirmed, other than 2 silicon, 2 germanium. 1N4148 and 1N34A sho…
With all the recent talk and hype of the DigiTech Bad Monkey lately, and the sky rocketing prices of them on Reverb, a layout seemed to be in order. I used to gig with one of these and loved the Low control on it. Helped it stand out compar…
New Year, might make Modulation Monday a thing. We'll see. Anyway, here's the EQD Hummingbird V2. It's derived from the Vox Repeat Percussion and now updated to use the 2N6027 in place of the obsolete 2N2646. There's also a couple other imp…
The Slow Gear emulates a guitarist riding the volume pot or a volume pedal, creating a swell effect. This will fit comfortably in a 1590B or 125B, though with the 1590B you'll probably want to wire the pots off board or use long-leg right a…
Happy Fuzz Friday! Here's a big one that hopefully makes up for my absence lately. Sounds great on bass and guitar. From Darkglass:The Duality is a unique fuzz pedal that contains two discrete fuzz circuits—a gated saw-tooth wave and a raun…
