Budda Om Overdrive

From the source:

With the Budda Om Overdrive guitar pedal, you won't have to worry about your guitar tone not being able to cut through the mix. With plenty of gain provided in this tight compacted box, you get a pedal perfect for anything from an old-school crunch to mordern fuzz. Put the Budda Om Overdrive guitar pedal in your signal chain, and you'll notice the jaw-dropping difference it has on your amp. The classic 3-knob user interface focuses on the EQ while giving you organic control over your overdrive tone. Check out the Budda Om Overdrive guitar pedal for that missing ingredient!

BJFE Baby Blue OD

The BJFE Baby Blue OD is described as a dynamic pre-amp tube distortion, although it is technically more of a fuzz pedal with dynamic overdrive features.  It is a killer fuzzy OD with a ton of dynamic and tonal range.


So according to the thread over at FSB there's no mention of the specific JFETs in the original other than they're N-JFET. It's possible they're either BF244 or 2N5952 both of which Bjorn is known to use. So I decided to make 2 layouts, one with a DGS pinout (BF244) and one with DSG (2N5952) so either can be made. There is also a question as to whether or not the 47k resistor going from Drain of Q1 to the power rail actually being 14.7k like the drains of Q2 and Q3, so as of now if you build this you may want to socket that resistor so you can try both and see which sounds better.

Madbean Zombii / ZVex Fat Fuzz Factory

Tweaked Mark's original compact layout according to the info i found on the fat mode switch. Should be good to go.

Foxx / Sears Phasing Pedal

Here is a monster layout for a 70s phaser made famous by Brian May.
No many infos/videos around.
You can find the schematic in the original DIY thread here and FSB's here.
To draw a layout for this wasn't easy. To build it would be as difficult.
Double check everything is correct before starting.

There are no great quality videos but I'll add a couple just to give an idea.
