This is a neat little octave fuzz designed by Tim Escobedo (a man who has made so many excellent effects circuits). It's a nasally fuzz tone with a prominent octave-up element.

I've decided to go back and do project PDFs for several of the effects circuits here. This makes it much easier for people without pricey image editing software to print the PCB transfers at the proper size.

First to be done is the Fat Cock MosFET Booster. Here's the PDF:

Fat Cock MosFET Booster (~500K)

It's old hat on the boutique scene, but it's new to me: modding the hell out of the Fuzz Face. No epoxy goop, no high prices, no bullshit marketing hype. Nothing but new fun with an old favorite. There's one mod version up now, but there will be at least a few more to follow.

Every wanted to make your own eyelet board? Well now you can read all about how to do it and look at pretty color photos.

The famous Solasound Tonebender MKII laid out for small enclosures, such as the Hammond 1590A.

My own take on the Electro-Harmonix Muff Fuzz. Layout is for eyelet or turret boards. This one is verified and good to go. :)

I think we all know what this old circuit is. Never gets old, though. This Rangemaster layout is for axial caps and includes extra mojo.

Everybody loves a good booster, and the Fat Cock MosFET Booster is relative clone of one of the world's most sought-after boosters. The GAIN control crackles, okay? ;)

This version is more parts friendly, and could in fact be built entirely from parts at your local Radio Shack (with one minor parts sub).

I just added a new page on how to wire up a stompbox.

This is a work in progress. Currently it only features wiring a 3PDT:

I'll be adding other diagrams in the near future.

The Seven Forty One is my first real op amp-based project. It sounds kinda like a Dist+ but more soft around the edges, and yet still a little more "square wave".

It uses a common, cheap LM741 op amp as the core, but you could also use any modern single op amp.

There are two versions: one with diodes clippers, and one with MosFETs as clippers.
