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 :-)

Hemmo/Tim Escobedo - Bazz Fuss

Here's a DIY Classic, tweak the diodes, tweak the input and output caps, tweak everything. It's a super simple build and it creates some great tones.

Here's another version from Homewrecker.com:

with an interesting diode comparison chart:


diode(s)
measured voltage
notes
1N34A.220vdecent, but output is too low
1N914.570vstock version, great fuzz
1N34A, 1N914.780va bit more defined, a bit louder
(2) 1N34A, 1N9141.0valmost a hybrid fuzz/distortion
orange LED1.8va hybrid distortion/overdrive

    Cheers, Beers and pizza is always welcome. I'll try change the colours in the chart to make it easier to read...
