Its my thing, at least as much as a rip of a 50 year old design can be "my" thing. But its based off of sandwiching the normal channel from a twin reverb onto the power section from a super reverb. I started with Weber's schematic for each and produced the resultant one which I used:

My layout is below, but its not fully labeled. It should get the basics out of the way though.

Very cool. Thanks for sharing.
Do you mind if I ask how much the parts cost, all together?

It can be done for around $350 if you're being really econo, but plan on $450 just in case.

Heh... just a bunch of jfets setup for marking. They were discontinued, so I bought 100 figuring it will be a lifetime supply.

I used tape to number some jfets a couple of years ago, and the tape has started to come off. I used model enamel to give each one a number, and then matched them. I ended up with 7 perfectly matched sets of four, a bunch more if you allow a 0.01v tolerance, and even a set of 14 that are 0.01v apart.

Sorry to dominate this page, but when I was going through my pictures, I realized I had never taken/posted shots of this one.

PNP Rangemaster -> Crackle Not Okay -> Minibooster -> Tone control (based on Colorsound Overdriver) -> Volume control.

Each boost is switchable, and when they're all off, it's a buffered tone/volume control. Really it's a utility box.

So I got a bunch of stuff in the mail from Mammoth today... And I decided... To make a super awesome Bazz Fuss with a mega micro circuit!

My wiring is still pretty messy, but the thing sounds great, and I like the art I made for it.

Thanks man :hug:

I'm pretty proud of it.

NSFW: show
The circuit is so compact that looking from a downward angle it looks like there is nothing inside except some wires and hardware. :)

My output lately has been SHIT. Playing with two bands plus building two amps equals very few pedals. Oh well. Finally boxed up this Deluxe Memory Man clone last night. PCB by Madbean.
