A clone of the vintage Colorsound Supa Tonebender. Essentially a Big Muff with the first set of clipping diodes removed. It uses a 3-way switch to go between Big Muff mode, Supa Tonebender mode or disengage all clipping diodes. Built on veroboard with 2N5088 silicon transistors, Panasonic caps, metal film resistors, clear/blue LED and a gold hammerite finish.
For Eric in Los Angeles, U.S.

A Univox Uni-Drive clone built using the same NOS 2SC859 silicon transistors as the original. As well as the usual Drive (pre-gain) and Volume knobs, it features a Tone knob which can roll off bass at the input as required. Built on vero with Panasonic caps and Panasonic/BC electros, metal film resistors, white LED and a gold hammerite finish.
For Daniel in Sligo.

A Violet Rams Head clone with 3-way mids switch and 3-way clip mode switch. Built with Wima caps, 2N5088 transistors, metal film resistors and shielded cable with a blue LED and blue hammerite finish.

A silicon Fuzz Face with BC108 transistors and knobs for Tone, Fuzz and Volume with an internal trimmer to set the pre-gain level.
For Cormac in Waterford.

There’s a limited run of 10 Rams Head clones available exclusively through Crush The Button. The folks at Crush The Button got in touch about the possibility of doing a limited run of these classic Big Muffs and sent me an original early V2 Rams Head to clone. The pedal looked to be a ‘Marveltone’ build from ’72/’73.

As well as the usual Volume, Tone and Sustain controls, I’ve added two toggle switches for some extra versatility.
The first switch selects one of 3 tone options:
1. stock setting, the classic scooped mids Big Muff sound.
2. flat, flattens the EQ response with a small mid boost.
3. peaked mids, adds more low/mid boost, great for cutting through any mix.

The second switch selects one of 3 clipping options:
1. stock setting, with both sets of diodes engaged.
2. bypasses the first set of diodes, which allows a lot of low end through and is great for bass players.
3. bypasses both sets of diodes, less clipped sound and a huge boost in output level.

It’s built on vero with 2N5088 silicon transistors, 1N419 silicon diodes, Panasonic film caps, metal film resistors, polarity protection, power filtering and shielded cable to reduce hum and noise, Switchcraft jacks, true bypass switching, a bright white LED, genuine Daka-ware knobs and finished in a durable silver vein powdercoat. Signed and numbered 1 to 10.

Sold Out.

A Fuzz Face clone with BC107 and BC337 silicon transistors, BC electros, Vishay and vintage tropical fish caps, clear/blue LED and blue hammerite finish.
For Neil in Dublin.

A clone of the Vox Distortion Booster V8162, which originally came in a small box plug-in like the Vox Repeat Percussion. It’s essentially a silicon Fuzz Face type circuit but with a less woofy, heavy sound and all the rich harmonics you’d expect. It uses two BC108 transistors, metal film resistors and two high quality K40Y-9 capacitors. The trimpot replaces the ‘gain’ resistor so it’s maximum output can be set to taste. Finished in a silver vein powdercoat.
For Kalle in Germany.
