Jersey Girl Fulltender
Took the Boss OD-1 layout from a few weeks ago and put together the Fulltender. It's just a modded OD-1, but with enough changes that a new layout made sense. Great sounding pedal. And if you'd rather...

Lovepedal Super 6
Here's a simple MOSFET overdrive from Lovepedal. Should be a quick and easy build in a 1590B. The board is designed to fit vertically in the enclosure with this kind of pot soldered on alternating...

Perscription Electronics Clean Octave Blend
Got a request for this one for Fuzz Friday. Originals fetch crazy prices online. It's an octave fuzz with a clean blend. Will probably be making a fabricated version of this as well. Schematic over on...

Boss FA-1 FET Amplifier
Originally a bit of a flop from Boss, the FET Amplifier was made famous by U2's The Edge. It features a 2-band Baxendall tone stack and the Volume control is more like a gain control. Originals use 2...

OKKO Diablo+
The Diablo is a modified BSIAB circuit and the Diablo+ version has an added boost at the output that's independent from the main overdrive circuit. I've laid it out for a 125B with top mounted jacks...

DOD FX91 Bass Overdrive
Always need more bass effects, right? This was one of the first bass ODs to have a clean blend. Should be an easy fit in a 1590B. Here's the schematic for reference.

Fulltone Ultimate Octave
Happy Fuzz Friday everyone! Had a request for this one. It's basically a Foxx Tone Machine with some value changes and a couple additions, namely a switch to shift the range of the tone control and the...

Tube Works Blue Tube
Came across John K's vero of this circuit with a few mods (Mid pot, bipolar charge pump) and figured we needed a layout for it as well. Runs on 9-12v. Pots are all board mounted with the tube off...

BK Butler Tube Driver
Apparently it's tube week. Here's the Tube Driver made famous by David Gilmour. It uses a 12AX7 which is pushed by a dual opamp followed by a Fender-style tone stack. I kept the power section from John...

Steel Panther Pu55y M3lt3r
I've held off in laying this one out just for the name alone (it was banned from Reverb for this very reason), but the circuit is fairly interesting so it was time. It features a MOSFET buffer into a...

Hornby Skewes Shatterbox
Got a request for this one for Fuzz Friday. Fairly simple fuzz + boost box. Originals used PNP silicon transistors, but you can use NPNs just as well. The perf side below reflects the original's...

Brunetti Taxi Drive
Here's a pretty interesting lower gain overdrive. There's a an opamp gain stage with soft clipping going into a JFET stage that pushes a modified BMP tone stack, followed by a BJT output buffer. One of...

Clark Gainster
Here's a pretty simple drive that everyone says sounds amazing. Original units had mojo parts and point to point wiring. Should fit nicely in a 1590B.

EarthQuaker Devices Plumes
Today's layout is the EQD Plumes. It's based on the Tube Screamer but with a load of tweaks, including the usual BJT buffers replaced with op amp buffers, selectable clipping, and a charge pump to...

EarthQuaker Devices Life Pedal
For Fuzz Friday here's the coolest Green Ringer + Rat pedal around! (To be fair, it's an awesome combo) The Green Ringer is on a JFET blend and the Rat section is pretty standard. There's also a fairly...

Apocalypse Audio Four Horsemen
Stumbled across this circuit a little while back and thought it would be a nice change from most of the opamp-based overdrives out there. Should fit nicely in a 1590B.

DOD 210 FET Preamp
Got a little simple boost/preamp for your Thursday. Should be a pretty easy fit in a 1590A. J113 alternatives would be J201, 2N5457, and probably a couple other JFETs that are obsolete. 😑

Ibanez NB-10 Noise Buster
Had a recent request for this one and thought it'd be a nice break from overdrives. Part of the Ibanez 10-series, it's a noise gate that utilizes the LM1894 noise control chip. You can still get the...

VFE Fuzz Duo
Happy Fuzz Friday! Here's a pretty cool Fuzz Face variant from an equally cool builder, VFE. Both transistors are switchable between silicon and germanium, and it's got a few other cool tweaks too....
