Hello all,
This is my layout of the "Machete". The Machete was designed by Rej and his team at grind customs fx. This is an Ugly Face with LFO mods. The LFO has an on off switch that bypasses the the lfo all together. I designed the PCB out of "need", I have a friend that is looking for one and Rej's store is down. I asked if i could do my own layout and the "unicorn slayer" gave me permission. Any way her are some pictures and a quick video. Thanks for looking / watching.
And here is a quick video with an awesome 90's Filter riff!!!
Hello Readers,
I did a multi build a while back and realized that I really loved the fuzz that I put into it. It isn't a super complicated build buy any means but this thing is BRUTAL! I love the tone and minimal options on it. There are 2 toggles and 1 knob. The toggle on the right controls the wave and the toggle on the left is an intensity boost. The knob controls the overall output of the fuzz, This is by far one of my favorites. I might just do a Fabbed PCB for it. It is a DBA Harmonic Transformer clone. The enclosure art was done by Dan at A.D.D Effects. Here are some pictures for you. I'll try to get a video up soon. Thanks guys.
Hey guys,
Here is another Hunter Fuzz build I completed. The person I built this for wanted the distressed beat up look so that's what her got. This was just a standard Devi ShoeGazer clone. It's on the PCB that I designed. It came out pretty cool looking. Any ways here are some pictures for you. Enjoy.
Hello Again,
Now let me first say that this was probably the most complicated build that I have ever done. There are 3 effects plus a order switch and an FX / blend option in this. It was very hard to wrap my head around but in the end I nailed it!! Here is the breakdown of the pedal.
**Main Circuit**
The main tone of this is based on the DBA Sound Saw. What this is, is a two channel frequency filter circuit. The bypass switch turns it on and the filter switch switches between the two channels. Channel one high lights the lows and allows more of a bass-y boost. Channel two accents the highs and mids giving the tone a cutting edge. There is a volume and filter knob for each channel.
**Fuzz Tone**
The fuzz section of this is modeled after the DBA Harmonic Transformer. This fuzz is EVIL! I love it. It is controlled by 1 knob and 2 toggle switches. In this built you'll notice that there are 3 toggle switches for the fuzz, the 3rd switch is simply an on / off option. The knob controls the over all fuzz volume. The switch on the left is the on / off, the switch in the middle is the sign wave switch (changes from triangle to square wave), and the switch on the right is an intensity switch.
**Delay / Reverb Tone**
This is one of my favorite delay / reverb designs, the circuit is a Madbeans Moodring. This reverb is great and the delay is simple and easy to dial in. This has no on / off switch but the "Ring" knob essentially acts like an on / off. all the way to tho the left is off and all the way to the right is "muffin maker"!
**Extra Options**
-Blend-
You'll notice that there are 2 extra jacks on the side of the enclosure. These allow you to add another effect and blend it into this circuit. The top jack is the send and the bottom is the return. The blend is panned from left to right. Left is no added effect and right is full effect volume (set on external effect) added to this circuit.
-Order Toggle Switch-
There is also an effect order switch built into this as well. What this does is puts the fuzz in front or behind the reverb. This gives you a multitude of options. putting the fuzz in front of the effect will give you the "wall of sound" type of effect that a lot of guitarists go for.
So needless to say there was a lot to take in to consideration when building this. The enclosure was designed and etch by Dan at ADD Effects. He and I have worked together on several builds now and I don't see us stopping any time soon. Well that's all I have for now. Here are some pictures for you. I will get the videos posted soon. Thanks for reading.
Hey Guys,
If you read my WIP post then you are up to date on this, If not here is a short version. Here is a Foxx Tone Machine clone I did for the Madbeans Build of the Year contest. The layout of the PCB was done by Brian at Madbeans and I did the Etched face plate and art work. I love the way this thing sounds! It's very responsive to dynamics and the Octave switch makes it that much funner. Let just be honest here octave fuzzes are the best!!!! Anyways here are some pictures for you to gawk at...haha enjoy.
Hope you guys liked it! I'll post a you tube video soon. Thanks for reading.
