Boutique Fuzz Face PDF Print E-mail

The fuzz face is one of my favorites. The Fuzz Face has a thick sweet distortion like nothing else. It can clean up as you roll back your guitar's volume knob and create yet another wonderful and useful tone. What a great design. When I build your fuzz face you are getting the real thing. I use a real tie-dyed shirt to cover the box... every one is one of a kind.

AMZ Mini-Booster PDF Print E-mail

amz mini booster frontThe mini-booster is one of the most used pedals I've ever built. It's a popular build in the effects community and everyone seems to love it. I know I do.  Even the Fulltone Fat Boost was based on this design, but this circuit was originally created by Jack Orman as an adaptation of a circuit from National Semiconductor's app-note AN-32.

Some people would say that it is not a transparent boost because it adds a bit of sparkle to the high frequencies... This is true... It may not be "transparent" but it does retain the sound of your instrument or whatever you put in front of it. Transparent or not, it's a damn good sounding gain stage. When people play my gear at the jam they always love this one.
