Title: Demo Tape Fuzz
Post by: jonnygreentrees on February 19, 2017, 04:30:28 PM

Just boxed this up, sounds pretty cool for that direct into the mixing desk sound as well as more conventional distortion.

It seems like the EQ section cuts and boosts frequencies BEFORE the distortion stage as cranking the bass can cause the circuit to flub out in a cool way, was wondering if anyone who knows about circuits can confirm this?

Looks great! Very proactive approach to finishing, will always look great!

I like your design.  What's the guts like? I bought a demo tape fuzz pcb from Juan Solo but haven't gotten round to building it yet.

This looks fantastic!
Pretty sure the EQ section comes after gain.

Do like  8)

The DTF is one of those rare, unique effects that does a surprising range of usable things.

That gave me some serious GAS for a DFT.

The guts look horrible! All four pots are wired and I didn't use a PCB for the footswitch :/

Yep, a great circuit, I agree.

We want gut shots! :)

Everything about the enclosure, down to the knob color, is awesome!

That's some seriously gorgeous grunge.
