fuzz face
https://sj-effects.com/tag/fuzz-face
Been a while since my last post! This is another Fuzz Box I recently built up. I wanted to go for a vintage look with this build; an homage to the old 60’s Fuzz Faces. Its a classic Fuzz Face, with hand selected BC108 Transistors, and some other small tweaks and modifications. I also used ‘Mojo’ parts (Vishay and Cornell Dubilier caps etc.). I’m not so certain that the use of ‘mojo’ parts enhances tone, but they certainly look cool! Silicon Fuzz Box Gutshot. February 3, 2014. Tagged BC108 Fuzz Box. Moder...

About
https://sj-effects.com/about
I am based in Nottinghamshire, UK, and I build custom effects pedals for use with guitar and bass. All my pedals are built using high quality components throughout. All SJ Effects are completely handmade and assembled by myself in the UK. All my pedals also feature True Bypass switching as standard. I offer a small range of ‘standard’ pedals that are available to order for an affordable price. I also do a lot of custom work for my clients which is priced on a per-job basis.

Champion Fuzz
https://sj-effects.com/2014/04/15/champion-fuzz
I had some spare time so finished this one for myself over the weekend. It’s a clone of the old B M Champion Fuzz Unit, which is very similar to the Jumbo Tone Bender, which in turn is a derivative of the Big Muff circuit. The B M Fuzz Unit was the pedal supposedly used by Edwin Collins on the Girl Like You solo (you know the one: da derr da der der derrr, da der da der). Great song, and great guitar tones! I put it in a massive enclosure with ridiculously big knobs because, well, why not! April 15, 2014.

Cool Article: Five Influential Fuzz Tones. USA boutique store Pro Guitar Shop have a cool article on their blog about 5 influential fuzz tones. See (and listen) here: http:/ proguitarshop.com/andyscorner/tone-roses-five-influential-fuzz-tones. I could argue that there are a few omissions that are worthy of a place in the Fuzz hall of fame though (Mosrite Fuzzrite, Univox Superfuzz etc.)! September 30, 2013. October 15, 2013. Tagged custom fuzz pedal. I will be uploading more sound demos (and a video) soon.

To Order: Contact Me. The Gravy Train is a classic overdrive based on a vintage design. Great sounding and easy to use, it can also be utilised very effectively as a ‘dirty boost’ for pushing the front end of valve amplifiers! The Gravy Train also features a ‘Clip’ toggle switch which selects between Asymmetrical and Symmetrical clipping stages. This helps defines the tonality, compression and ‘feel’ of the overdrive. Classic overdrive/dirty booster with switchable clipping diodes. 1% Metal Film Resistors.

Tremolo + Vibrato
https://sj-effects.com/2014/03/17/tremolo-vibrato
Another recent Tremolo Vibrato 2 in 1 build I completed. The enclosure is a lovely colour, one of my favourites. Unfortunately my supplier has stopped selling them and I only have a few more in stock😦. The tremolo is based on the classic EA Tremolo, and the vibrato is based on the Tim Escobedo Wobbletron circuit (modified for Vactrol LFO control) for a Magnatone amp style vibrato effect.
