Welcome to the Revolution

Hi there, welcome to my blog - La Revolution Deux. It's an odd name - but I like it! Here you will find all the info on my various DIY Guitar effects builds, amplifiers and guitars. Everything from a humble Ibanez tubescreamer to the holiest KLON Overdrive.

You may also find a few effects builds that I am looking to move on - usually in exchange for other effects/gear/cash. You can always check my ebay account to see what I've got up for grabs.

Have fun, enjoy the blog - Fred Briggs :-)

HAO - Rust Driver


This thing is said to emulate a 69 Marshall Plexi 50W on 10... Hmmm, OK - Here's the scheme :


It looks like this one was drawn by the great matsumin, one of the legendary Japanese DIY bloggers! Check it out, it's a fairly simple build!

Here is the original PDF Manual: Link!

Here's a decent demo of Hao Rust Driver in action:


Once again. A big Thanks to the Freestompboxes guys for getting this info together and to the people who created it in the first place!

Expect more schemes soon - or just join freestompboxes for a sneak peak!

  1. Wow, thanks, I'm going to try this one. But what I miss in the schematic is the 3-position equaliser switch (Normal, bright, warm) Anyone knows how this looks?

  2. insert 3 different caps in parallel with the diodes and switch them:

  3. What does the 4 Pin in the Lower Corner mean?

    Really nice thing :D

  4. The bit that says 4 Pin is a reference to the 4th pin of the IC going to earth.
    BTW: This is a very similar design to the Op amp Muff fuzz schematic on fuzz central.

  6. "insert 3 different caps in parallel with the diodes and switch them:try 22,47 or 10 nf"

    Did you mean 2,2 4,7 or 1 nF? (0,001uF; 0,0022uF; 0,0047uF)
