Ugly Face

Ugly Face Ugly Face is a completely all-out fuzz unit for fat, noisy buzzsaw sounds that has become a DIY classic. Originally created by Tim Escobedo on his Circuit Snippets web page, it’s a relatively easy build with very few components and a really cool spacey/sci-fi sound. I used this layout (minus the Threshold pot) but… Read More

Arrows

Arrows This one-knob pedal is a clone from EarthQuaker Devices analog pre amp boost. Very few components and a cool pedal to have around. Follow this step by step video if you want to build it. Read More

Dirrrty Delay

Dirrrty Delay Extremely lo-fi and nasty delay pedal, based on a modified pt2399 delay board. The addition of delay time and feedback control to the existing circuit pushes the chip into wild oscillation territory, allowing the pedal to function as a standalone noise instrument as well. It is an easy mod with very few components,… Read More

Noise Generator + clean blend

Noise Generator + clean blend A simple pedal that can be used as a standalone noise generator or to mix white noise into your signal chain. It has Volume, Blend and Filter controls and it's based on this Synth Nerd blog post. Read More

Comodoro Fuzz

Comodoro Fuzz This fuzz pedal was made at the Mutan Monkey Instruments Pedal Attack workshop out of a kit provided by Comodoro. Read More

ISD1820 Filteroid

ISD1820 Filteroid Mainly used as a sampler/looper, the ISD1820 chip is used here in feedthrough mode. This turns this circuit from Synthlurk into an audio processor that can be used as a filter, amplifier, fuzz, suboscillator, noise generator or distortion unit. Check this thread on LMNC Discourse group to learn more about it. Read More

Deep Blue Delay

Deep Blue Delay The Deep Blue Delay from Mad Professor is a natural sounding digital/analog delay based on the pt2399 chip. It is is specially designed to work well with distorted tones, but also has some surprisingly clean repeats. This version has an additional switch to allow infinite feedback. Here you'll find the veroboard layout… Read More

Mid-Fi Electronics Clari (not)

Mid-Fi Electronics Clari (not) Based on the noisy PT2399A chip, this crazy pedal from Mid-Fi Electronics is a delay/fuzz/vibrato/modulation/unstable tape simulator/weird noise thingy that brings that cassette lo-fi vibes and strange modulated echoes. This version is modified to include a switch to turn off the fuzz, leaving you with a clean weird noise thing if you… Read More

Fuzz War II

Fuzz War II Based on the classic Big Muff circuit, but with the addition of germanium diodes for aggressive clipping and a more radical tone control, this is the second version of the infamous pedal from Death By Audio. While the first version has 7 transistors and it is much harder to assemble, this one… Read More

4ms Noise Swash

4ms Noise Swash A chaotic random noise maker, self-oscillating fuzz/distortion with power sag, clipping diodes, feedback and overall unpredictable whackiness. Not many components but lots of pots to solder, have a look at the veroboard layout here. Read More
