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
Verified! Nice to build up. Thank you very much for your sedulous work. This fuzz pedal offers a great variety of different tones and hues from almost silky blues to razor edge metal. Personally I like it most for metal. In the lack of germanium transistors I used some MPSW06 silicon fleas which provide a quite low Vbe and a high gain. Instead of the jumper which connects the emitter of the second transistor to ground I built in a 220ohms resistor which can be shortened with an additional switch. This adds a whole new area of sounds which go to almost undistorted. This is a really versatile pedal now. Most probably I will give it away and build another one with germanium transistors as soon as I can get some.
