DOD FX55B SupraDistortion – BigBuff Mod
Here’s another in a line now of DOD pedal mods. For this FX55B, I decided to go for more of a BigMuff sound. Playing around with this pedal initially, I found it to be like most mass-produced distortion/fuzz effects. It had a very thin sound and that notorious volume drop that you may have heard…

the Triode: final build
final build of my take on the Mitsumin Valvecaster.

sqrt() reverb…
this was the final build before it shipped out. circuit is a simple MOSFET (BS170) driver stage followed by two JFET (J201) recovery stages. i’ve included a sound sample of a similar reverb i built later without the second recovery stage and clipping diodes. it makes for a much more subtle reverb, but also tames…

MOSFET overdrive… final build?
i might add some labels for the pots and contact info, but it’s done for the most part.

PT2399 build…
this is an older build now, but i wanted to post it while i’ve been on the subject to record the process. believe it or not, i still have some work to do on this one. i used a TL082 as a buffer for the mixing circuit. getting the gain set to my taste has…

MOSFET overdrive…
a forced contract job for Ryan of Falcon Scott. he’s been having some issues finding an overdrive suitable to his hollow-body guitar. i just got a lot of BS170s and thought this might do the trick. the distortion is pretty squared off on the oscilloscope and crunchy. the left pot is post volume while the…

the Stirgiform PT2399 delay…
two days worth of soldering and layout. it’s a combination of the Magnus Modulus and Rebote delay schematics. i couldn’t get the mixing circuit to really work from the Rebote schematic (an older version) without some serious distortion, so i just kind of reworked it on my own. here’s the schematic. i wouldn’t commit to…
