Here's another one. I've had a lot of emails for this one. The best way I can describe it is as an "enhancer" - it makes and already good overdrive tone better! It produces a great low overdrive, the compression and shimmer controls are very interactive with regard to both the gain/clipping structure and the overall tone and feel of the device..
This design was born from a challenge set to me and a few others by Bjorn of BJF effects to build a circuit that sounded like the honeybee. Soulsonic came up with a very elegant and simple design called the Hunny Bunny: http://www.soulsonicfx.com/?page_id=88 (I love that circuit). The Humming Bird De'luxe is what I came up with and you can see the schematic below.

Here's a vero layout by Harald Sabro (http://www.sabrotone.com):
[NOTE] One of the capacitors is marked as 47k on the schematic - this should read 47n. Point B goes to the input of the mosfet stage.
hi, I was looking for a new overdrive and this one could be something new and interesting..could you post please some bigger images? I can't read any value!

Hey Fred,
ReplyDeleteHow are you? I find myself returning to your blog page often.
Has/have anyone/you ever come up with a PCB layout for this? I've come across multiple threads in multiple forums on this design. The description sounds very interesting to me.

Can you post a sound sample please? I have built a few of your circuits and love everyone of them.The PAF OD,64 vintage and Face.i'm going to go ahead and build this one cause i think i'll like it.i love the sound of germanium transistors.Thank you for all your work.
ReplyDeleteHey there, fellow players! I stumbled upon a sponsored post while browsing sports news and decided to give it a shot. I was looking for a reliable interface for my late-night poker sessions. Using the spin mama app gave me exactly the smooth experience I wanted without any lag. After a few rounds of testing different themes, I managed to double my initial deposit on some classic slots. It’s been a while since I felt this satisfied with a random internet find.
