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 :-)

Mad Professor - Ruby Red Booster


I've decided to make a complete set of the Mad Professor designs that have been traced out. I'm a massive fan of Bjorn's designs and always enjoy seeing all the little tricks he puts into each of his pedals. Here is the "Ruby Red Booster" traced over at freestompboxes.org; http://freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=13106 . WhiteKeyHole takes the credit for the schematic :


Here is some interesting text from the Mad Professor Website;

"The two boosters are based on the much sought after BJF Little Red Trebler and Red Rooster Booster, connected in that order and with a master volume control.

The RRB can be used as a treble booster, a clean boost or an overdrive unit or any combination of the above. Inside the pedal there is a switch for a high quality buffer. You can set the pedal for true bypass mode or "buffer on" in bypass mode. The Treble Booster is a fine-tuned booster for just the right treble frequency with carefully designed bandwidth and an optimized slope of bass cut."

So you got a BJF Little Red Trebler and Red Rooster in there!

Here is a ProGuitarShop demo of the pedal in action;
