This works mainly with circuits like a fuzz face that expect a guitar at the input. on the giant hogweed, there is a buffer at the input anyway so it might not have the expected effect. (unless inserted after the buffer)

since the signal is too hot, you won't be needing to increase the gain so rather a smaller value that the current 100k
perhaps a 100k pot would be good so you can dial in less gain than stock if needed.

Nice looking etch and great story :-)


Did he mention what exactly is overdriven too much? Like the overall fuzz tone, the octaves, not the octaves.
Depending on that you can reduce the gain at various spots in the circuit.
you could try to reduce R18, where the different signals are summed together. That will reduce the signal going into the main fuzz part.


Would also like to read that story about the Bill Frisell pedal !!

certainly possible, you would need to cut the trace between the output of the wah and the input of the buffer (between C3 and C7) and insert your bypass switch there

It's not because it comes from china that you have to give in to child labor ... tsk tsk ..
Pretty curious to see the results of the tests :-)

"Hey, what's that stank?"

Looks as if it was a relic found on the moon and I love it.

+1!
the fonts work great and the knobs too :-)

Wow, really like your design. Good job :-)

just leaving it here for anyone who needs some cheer up :-)

Dammit, Rolo! Now I'm going to have to look into this as well. 

Next step, cast your own enclosures 

Really cool stuff!
Now if only there was a way to combine it with this ... :

You're right, now the question is whether you actually need or want higher impedance. High impedance can sometimes make circuits pickup high frequency noise and oscillate, especially in high gain situations. 100k is still quite ok for usual applications

Alas, my son formally rejects your decree and calls them Titanic and Carpathia (don't ask)
