dogboy distortion

Dogboy Distortion is my attempt to create a very heavy and crunchy fuzz/distortion and it turned out great! It sounds a bit broken, in a good way. :) A better version is in the works though that can be built without the reverse biased 470uF cap. Stay tuned!

stepping stone overdrive

This was my first attempt at making my own overdrive from what I had learnt by building and modding other circuits. I had done a few heavily modded ones before, but nothing really original. I spent countless hours trying out different ideas on the breadboard before I was satisfied with the result. However, going back listening to this one now I find it alittle too thin/midrangy sounding, so I will probably revisit the circuit and improve it some time in the future. Here's a sound example:

Hey!
8 years late, but you can call the Dogboy verified. I used a flipped 2n3904 instead of the BC549. Works as described. Real nice and heavy almost fuzz almost distortion.
