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 :-)

Zvex - Box of Rock


Here is one that I get emailed about quite a bit - full project for download here; http://www.mediafire.com/?r136bveqr9mdjy2 [NOTE on the schematic C7 is listed as 100n, it actually needs to be 10n]

It's an ex-madbean project - go visit his f**king brilliant site here for loads of DIY goodness; http://www.madbeanpedals.com

Here is a schematic for reference:


You'll notice it's his "signature" Super Hard On circuit (Which is a great building block!) cascaded into one another. The tone control is a derivative of the classic Big Muff setup (But the actual values are nicked from the well known DIY project the "Brown Sound in a Box II" (BSIAB for short). Interesting really.

Here's your demo video:

  2. The Krankosaurus is a Box of Rock, it's just what madbean decided to call the project.
