Here's a collection of vero (stripboard) and tagboard guitar and bass effect layouts that we have put together covering many classic and popular effects in growing numbers. Many of these have been posted on freestompboxes.org, so check that site out for great discussions on building your own effect pedals. Enjoy the builds and please also visit us on Facebook and Twitter
Lethal, rough-edged industrial distortion at its most extreme-the sound of a small amp overdriven way past the limits. Our heaviest, most intense, and just plain loudest distortion pedal.
Lol! I have one of these lying around at home. Always thought it sounded like shit and never gave it a chance. I played around with it a couple of days ago, though, and have started to revise my opinion a bit. With my LP:s dirty neck pickup it produces some fun, farty sounds like a broken speaker cabinet.
Ok setting us firmly on the road to 500 - verified! A very bass heavy distortion, high gain, like Tac Dibar said kind of farty broken speaker-ish but in a good way. I think I still prefer the Mockman from yesterday though.
Thanks, is it just me or are these just exactly the same circuit with a grand total of 6 cap/res changes? Lazy, lazy Ibanez. They should go into the boutique pedal business ;)
I've just tried it with the MPSA14's you suggested and it really fuzzes up in a nice way. I think for guitar you'd need to lower the input cap back to the 68n of the Slam Punk as it's way too heavy even on a Telecaster, it's perfect for Bass as is though. Thanks again dude.
NICE!!! Thrilled this one got done :)

Yeah, they may not be too fashionable but they've got it going on under the hood.
