Here's a nice little veroboard project and a classic fuzz-style overdrive clone. It uses a CD4049UBE hex inverter chip to cascade gain stages to produce a pretty good usable overdrive tone. For me its somewhere in the middle of a fuzz and a tubescreamer-type distortion. Well worth a build.   |

nice looking project. Ive heard they sound good, but Ive never understood why this type of circuit doesn't just produce pure square waves out of that chip?

John It does. The secret is the conversion to a sine wave (more or less) by following them with integrator circuits. Think of "charging time" with a capacitor, and it'll start to make sense. </teaser mode> sumgai |
