It's christmas day! So it's time for another noisy octave thingy in style of LAL!
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

Dylan 159's Blendy Buffoon
Next up from Dylan159's Unreleased Circuits is the Blendy Buffoon. We've had a bunch of different blend/mix/loop designs up already, but this idea was still missing. Some may have stumbled upon an issue where you couldn't use a basic blend circuit with the likes of Marshall Bluesbreaker or MXR Dynacomp. That issue is due to those pedals (and loads of others) reversing the phase. Which resulted in minimal signal output as the dry signal is 180 degrees out of phase with the wet signal. Now this one cures this behavior - and you can flip the switch to use this with any pedals in the loop - may it be reversing the phase or not. I believe this may come in handy on various situations, like recording.

Dylan159's Troupple Boost
I'll be posting a few circuits from Dylan159's Unreleased Ciruits. There was the Fuzz Facelift posted earlier and i'll continue with more of these goodies. Next up:
Troupple boost. Gamers might get the reference. This came out from my wish for a simple, clean treble boost that could work from a variety of supply voltages to be even cleaner. The rangemaster's bias varies wildly to the point that barely works at 18v. This one features the same bass cutoff and the same input impedance, resulting in that small resonant peak and treble damping. You can try a 10n cap for a more tube screamer-like response.

Danelectro Fab Overdrive
Someone mentioned that the circuit in an earlier post would have possibly been an inspiration for this one. Not sure if i share the sentiment, since that 80's japanese design and this have basically, or in quite broad terms, just the gain pot method in common with each other.
Anyway. Quite a few people seem to lke this ultra-cheap OD. And what's not to like. There's a nice, loud clipping amp followed by tuned TS-style tone control. Not that complicated, but sure does sound nice.
