Multi Effects Processors

As music professionals, we are all acquainted with guitarists and also the rows of pedals they setup on stage at each gig. They are certainly onto something with regards to effects on-the-fly, however when you are establishing a studio or pro audio rig, there is a simpler solution: multi effects processors. These full-sized units bring a lot of versatility towards the table (or, more precisely speaking, the rack) plus they can enjoy a vital role in shaping your personal signature seem.

Effects pedals. The Bazz Fuzz Face

The Bazz Fuzz Face is essentially a plastic Fuzz Face along with a Bazz Fuss within the same box. A switch in the centre enables either effect to become selected. Both circuits happen to be modified just a little using their original schematics. The amount, tone and dirt controls are shared by circuits. The choke knob only affects the Fuzz Face.

Random Number Generator

This is Midfi Electronics “Random Number Generator”. It’s a radical fuzz that adds oscillation notes that randomly arpeggiate off of the fundamental note played. Crazy noise maker pedal. I’ve built several of these now by request. The owner of the design over at Midfi was gracious enough to share the schematic on the DIYstompboxes forum which is why I want to make it clear that this is NOT my design, and if you get one for me you are strictly paying me to make a clone since these aren’t available anymore.

Uglyface

The Uglyface effect is an oscillation based distortion/fuzz pedal with envelope controller designed by Tim Escobedo. It can do a wide varitey of off the wall sounds (laser guns, bagpipes, drones), and it has many different ways to modify the circuit. I’ll liked it so much I built it into one of my old junker guitars (details below). Continue reading “Uglyface”

Build Your Own Clone Assembling

After building a couple of their pedals for myself I’ve decided that if there’s anyone out there that wants a B.Y.O.C. pedal, but doesn’t know how to solder, that I will build them for you for a fee. It will be the cost of the pedal on the B.Y.O.C. site, plus a $40.00 to $60.00 build fee depending on the level of difficulty. That will be for a bare box, if you want it painted then we can dialog about the cost of that. Continue reading “Build Your Own Clone Assembling”
