http://diystrat.blogspot.com/2011/05/building-quick-brian-may-style-treble.html
DIY Strat (and other guitar and audio projects). Wednesday, May 25, 2011. Building a quick Brian-May-style treble booster on Veroboard. It was a friend's 44th birthday a while back, so I decided to make a quick pedal for him. I'd been wanting to try out a Brian May treble booster based pedal for a while, and I found this one at http:/ 147pedals.blogspot.com/2010/11/simple-tone-control-brian-may-treble.html. Veroboard is also known as stripboard or perf board, and looks something like this:. 3 Solder the ...

There is a way to adjust this, but it’s not entirely obvious. Although the following steps might seem like a lot of work, you can easily do this in 20 or 30 minutes. If you want to experiment a bit, yo...

DIY Strat (and other guitar and audio projects). Thursday, July 30, 2015. Fixing the pots on a Maxon OD808. I was recently gifted the pedal pictured above. If you don’t know what a Maxon OD808 is, then you should have a look here: http:/ www.musiciansfriend.com/distortion-overdrive-effects-pedals/maxon-od808-guitar-overdrive-pedal. In short, it’s basically the original overdrive pedal that eventually got rebranded as the Ibanez Tubescreamer. So I took the back cover off to access the circuit board. Not o...

DIY Strat (and other guitar and audio projects). Tuesday, April 21, 2015. Making a reverse/inverse RIAA attenuator. A couple of blog posts ago, we made an RIAA preamplifier ( http:/ diystrat.blogspot.com/2015/03/making-riaaphono-preamp.html. Hopefully you understand what that is now, but if you don’t, maybe have a look at that post now. As part of the process of making that preamp, I found it useful for testing purposes to have an inverse RIAA attenuator on-hand. Wait, a what? R3 = 1.5k. C1 = 3.3nF.
