UB – 2FUZZ
The 2FUZZ is a simple fuzz, but it sounds very interesting. It is based on the LM386 module, which is available for a few euros. Only a few additional components were necessary to make a distorting effect out of it.

Tiny Tremolo with CMOS 555
The tremolo effect has always fascinated me. Then I discovered and tried this simple circuit. Unfortunately, it is, as it is only at the very beginning of an effect strand to use, because otherwise it simply does not work. Here’s the circuit: I built it on a stripboard. It also works on the synthesizer.

EHX – Sadisfaction Fuzz Clone
Here I’m presenting the EHX Satisfaction Fuzz to you. It’s a clone of the legendary Maestro FZ-1 Fuzz-Tone from 1962. To this end, I have designed a circuit board myself which is soldered directly to the potentiometers. I found the Gerber file for PCB manufacturing on the internet at PCBWay and had it professionally manufactured.

EHX Muff Fuzz Clone
A new project is the EHX Muff Fuzz. It’s a simple circuit, but it still sounds great. It’s a reissue of the original 1969 Muff Fuzz. It boosts the amplifier’s natural drive while allowing you to achieve saturation at a lower volume. I had a circuit board made for this, which makes installation easier. Here…

UB 10 Band Graphic Equaliser
Here I present my self-designed 10 band graphic equaliser. The conditions I have imposed on myself are 10 bands and an operating voltage of 9 volts. I did some research on the Internet and came across the BA3812L chip. With one chip you can create a 5 band equaliser and with 2 chips a 10…

Colorsound Tremolo Clone
Today I’m presenting my Colorsound Tremolo. I’ve been working on it for a while. When I built it on a stripboard, I could hear a clicking noise. That’s why I rebuilt it again with an etched circuit board. Now it is a bit quiet when I switch it on, but there is no more background…

Mythos Pedals – Golden Fleece – Clone
I found the Fuzz Golden Fleece from Mythos Pedals on the website https://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2023/03/mythos-pedals-golden-fleece.html. As I didn’t yet have a distortion in a 1590A cabinet, I set it up. There is not much space in the small housing, but everything can be easily accommodated: I drilled using the following template, at least roughly: And this…

Big Muff π – Triangle
Our neighbor’s son ordered a Big Muff π from me. It turned out to be the Big Muff π – Triangle. Mounted on a professionally manufactured circuit board and neatly represented, the whole thing looks quite good.

Big Muff PI – Creamy Dreamer
Next, I created a Big Muff PI – Creamy Dreamer. This is a Sovtek Green Russian circuit with an additional “Creamy Dreamer” mod. The circuit is set up with a finished circuit board:

Emerson Custom Guitars – Em-Drive Clone
I gave the son of our neighbour some of my floor pedals to test and he really wanted to have another overdrive to compare. I don’t think you can really make a comparison. But so be it. So I quickly made an Em-Drive. The circuit is really quite simple: The whole thing fits wonderfully into…
