Welcome

I've recently come to realize that this site, despite my best intentions, was quite hard to navigate. I also realized that while some of you browsed the category pages and tried to find useful information, most just wanted to see those pages where I'd made my own layout or where I'd written a somewhat longer article about something, and those were quite hard to find. So here are direct links to those interesting pages, you can still find the categories below.

Circuits, Effects, Stompboxes call them what you like

All these have pcb layouts with my signature curvy traces.

Fuzz Face - what can I say, it's a Fuzz Face.
Professor Tweed - sweet sounding distortion from Run Off Groove.
ToneBender - another classic fuzz.

Small Clone Chorus - lovely chorus.
Little Angel - another nice chorus.
Rebote - simplish delay.

LPB-1 - classic single transistor boost.

Superfly in a 1590A - yeah, I stuffed a tube amp in a 1590A, most viewed page on this site!
