New smaller, greener muffs.

Damn, that layout and execution is boss.

Built a modulated reverb with all the bells and whistles for myself over the weekend... not the cleanest guts but when you're using 4 boards in one enclosure it gets a little hectic (reverb, optical bypass, modulation and mod-led mini-daughter board).



Full disclosure, the etch is not my design or my doing. I had a friend who I collaborate with make it for me. My artistic and etching skills are not up to this level at all.

Also made some progress on a fuzz I'm "designing" (brute force tweaking until it sounds right). I started with this...



Then reduced the controls to this...



And now, after this second iteration, I realize it really just needs an output volume knob (or possibly internal trimmer) so by the time this is all done, it may end up just being a one or no knob beast. Still not 100% sure anything will come of it but haven't written it off yet. I thought this circuit would provide a cool platform but it seems pretty straightforward with my current tweaks and is a great sounding fuzz but I tend to like more tweak-ability than this circuit offers. We will see what comes of it... I'm curious if keen eyes of the fuzz gurus will be able to figure out what circuit this started out as

[Dr Tony Balls]

Ibanez Standard Fuzz?

Ibanez Standard Fuzz?

Nope

PS that fuzz sustainer looks epic. Balls builds are always so clean I've been seriously tempted to talk to you about an amp build after seeing all your recent ones.

Talk away! I love building amps.

Balls Hundo. Preliminary pics:





Specs are:

2 x 12AX7 preamp/inverter
2 x KT88 power section
Volume, Treble, Bass, Presence with a Bax stack
Ultralinear output operation

Sounds huge with guitar. Loud and clean till the end and then it crunches up real nice. Plus it has that full tonal range of the Bax stack. In testing it with bass I realized I have speaker issues with both of my bass cabs gotta get those replaced before I really make any good clips with bass. Ill get a guitar clip up soon.

^ For some reason I look at those pics and can't stop thinking about the Marty Robbins song "Big Iron".

Rams Head with 3 position switches for Input, Filter, Clipping, Tone Stack Caps and Tone stack R8 and R5 on pots........if my maths is right, 3 positions, 7 Switches 3^7 = 2187 combinations?
