Based on a nice example of a Civil War era Big Muff circuit, with a few tweaks. Plays great with guitar and bass. It's common knowledge that there was a lot of variation in the originals but this is a culmination of what I liked in the Russian Muffs I've heard and what I think make a well balanced Big Muff to boot. Well rounded tone stack with clarity and sustain. Roll down the sustain and you've got a boost/OD at lower settings. Slightly lower overall gain than the Silver Wizard, with a slight shift in the clipped frequencies.

• 9v negative tip Boss style power connector
• True Bypass 3pdt switch

'The Russian' has circuitry inspired from a Green Russian Big Muff with the physical appeal of the Black Russian's outer.

Demo video will be up soon, for the moment though I have Serial #1 available for sale until I get more enclosures made.

If you're a fan of Russian Big Muffs you won't be disappointed.

Mids control adjusts between 2 settings: Classic scoop and Flat Mids.

Clip Control adjusts between classic clipping or an alternate, less compressed diode pair option.

A take on the much loved Foxx Tone Machine.

I always thought this circuit was cool because it's essentially a two in one. You can have the fuzz by itself or an analog upper octave + fuzz with the flick of a switch.

Everything you liked about the original but with a more aggressive tone stack, an ample volume boost in silicon clipping mode and more overall bass.

Controls:

Volume- Master volume

Sustain- Expander/Sustain depending on Octave on/off

Tone- Compensates between more treble or more bass

Octave- Switches the octave generating section of the circuit on or off.

SI/GE- Silicon/Germanium selection. Choose Silicon for a wilder octave in octave mode and an overall volume boost.

This is a stompbox adaptation of the preamp of an early 70's Orange OR120 head.

What I have ended up with is something that does Low to Medium gain levels and can push the front end of your tube amp into saturation. This does not have any clipping diodes, it is open and when driven into the front end of a valve amp will deliver authentic 70's Orange big amp tones.

I have had great results with the Orange Micro Terror along with a Fender Champ, Laney AOR 100 and Silverface Fender Bassman.

4 Transistor Distortion / Fuzz whose framework started as a Ram's Head Big Muff. The tone stack was refined to produce slightly more mid-range to cut through along with giving more note clarity at higher gain. More gain at a pinch than it's Grandfather design giving more interesting rupturing overtones when sustained. If you're a collector of Big Muff inspired pedals let me say you will not be disappointed. Proper video demo up soon.

The Montagne Tremolo reproduces one the first guitar effects ever: the tremolo. The Montagne Tremolo can provide vintage, smooth, tube-like tremolos, but can also creates choppy crazy sounds, thanks to a plethora of options: 6 different waveforms (including a random one!), tap tempo, and a "Symmetry" knob that allows you to modulate the waveform for even more versatility.

The circuit is fully analog, driven by digital technology. Thus, it features a powerful Electric Druid TAPLFO2D, and a relay bypass switching system for a totally silent switching. All of that packed in a small, pedalboard and user-friendly 125B enclosure! 6 different waveforms for different tremolos styles Tap tempo, ideal for live situations, with a ratio switch (1:1, 1:3....etc) External volume control to adapt the effect to your setup, or even boost the signal "Temporary" switch to make the effect activated at will Relay bypass with anti pop system: absolutely silent true bypass switching system 4 controls to finely modulate the effect Made in France

I selected only the best components for audio. I mainly choosed recognized electronics manufacturers based in Europe and the USA, used in HiFi: Panasonic FC, Wima MKP2 capacitors Neutrik, Alpha and Kobiconn connectors Texas Instrument (OP amps), Microchip integrated circuits Fairchild transistors and diodes

SPECIFICATIONS True Bypass: clickless switches and anti-pop relay system for a totally silent and reliable bypass. Analog signal path: The guitar signal is never digitized and stays analog from the start to the end of the tremolo circuit Digital control of the circuit: more versatility than ever thanks to digital circuitery Power supply: standard 9V DC, around 100mA, center negative to make the Montagne Tremolo highly compatible with pedalboard use. Size: 12,1 cm / 4,76" (L) x 6.6 cm / 2,6" (W) x 3.5 cm / 1,38" (H) Weight: 326,8 g / 11,52 oz

Here is a good circuit for beginners and distorsion fans! This effect, heavily "inspired" by the Fulltone OCD has a fat, mids-heavy sound that will remind you of 70s to 80s classic rock tones. The tone control is very efficient and can brighten up an amp or tame a too bright setting, making it quite versatile. It can also be used as a boost to push your amp for more gain.

This doubled-sided PCB will allow you to make the perfect OCD clone.

The Coda Effects Black Hole is a version of the almighty Sunn Model T preamp. The Sunn Model T is a 150W amp from the sixties, known for its monstruous tone: lots of bass, heavy distortion.

It is used a lot in the doom / stoner scene. There is even a band named after it, the almighty Sunn o))) band. Put a Rat before this and be ready to spit antimatter doom riffs!

Here are the controls: Dual channels gain controls: the two channels (Normal and Brite) can be mixed in parallel for a more heavy sound. Three band EQ control, to sculpt your sound at will Boost switch to unleash mayhem Optimized for guitar and bass Made in France

The Black Hole is made with the best components available (Wima and Panasonic capacitors, Fairfield semiconductors, Amphenol jacks...). I make them in Paris, France with great care and patience.

CARACTERISTICS True Bypass: I use Alpha 3PDT switch for more durability and reliability Power: standard 9V DC, less than 50mA, center negative to make the Black Hole compatible with pedalboard use. Size: 12,1 cm / 4,76" (L) x 6.6 cm / 2,6" (W) x 3.5 cm / 1,38" (H) Weight: 312,9g / 11,03 oz

The Dolmen Fuzz is inspired by the "bubble font" version of the Big Muff made in Russian in the 90s. Unfortunately, it is not available anymore, but well known for its heavy, bassy sound. It is used by many "heavy" stoner and doom bands like Fu Manchu and Kyuss, but also by rock bands like Dinosaur Jr or the Black Keys, and can be used with guitar and bass as well.

The Dolmen Fuzz is a modernized version of this mystical fuzz, with a mid knob (the mid scoop is huge downside of the original pedal), and a switch to adjust the compression and clipping. The "Solstice" footswitch activates a feedback loop to turn this little monster in a doom noisy war machine!

Here are the controls: Clipping switch to change the compression and dynamic of the Dolment Fuzz Medium knob, to cut through the mix whenever you want Noiseless relay bypass system absolutely silent true bypass switching system Soltice switch for heavy sounds and noise drones Optimized for guitar and bass Made in France

The Dolmen Fuzz has a huge powerful sound, with a lot of bass and mids frequencies (adjustable with the mid knob). It is ideal for Doom and Stoner, and is also nice for more vintage styles with the central switch that allows you to have less compressed and more dynamic sounds. Finally, the huge sustain and the available mid boost make it ideal to cut through the mix and go for powerful "Pink Floyd style" solos.

CARACTERISTICS True Bypass: clickless switches and anti-pop relay system for a totally silent and reliable bypass Analog signal path: your signal is never digitized and stays at its best! Power: standard 9V DC, less than 50mA, center negative to make the Dolmen Fuzz highly compatible with pedalboard use. Can be battery powered too for Fuzz afficionados! Size: 12,1 cm / 4,76" (L) x 6.6 cm / 2,6" (W) x 3.5 cm / 1,38" (H) Weight: 312,9g / 11,03 oz

Inspired by the 90's, bubble font, Russian pedal, the Green Russian is in the same family as the Civil War but has a little less low end and a lot more grit to the fuzz.

This gives the pedal a great tone for bluesy to stoner rock.

Based on the 1977 op-amp fuzz, the Pumpkin Pi is mostly associated with the fuzz tone on the Smashing Pumpkins "Siamese Dream" album but the pedal is capable of so much more.

The velcro-like, fuzz tone is perfect for monstrous chords and cutting and full lead tones. Dialing back the gain will give you a little more control for warm and sweet lead tones.

The Pumpkin Pi is great for many styles of music including rock, blues, doom and stoner rock.

The Stomp Under Foot Ram's Head is based on one of the best sounding 1975 "Violet" versions of the Big Muff Pi™.

A balanced tone, lots of sustain, killer harmonics and a ton of fuzz is what makes the Ram's Head a favorite among fuzz users.

This version has large amounts of warm, creamy fuzz that make chords evenly balanced and full while retaining string clarity. Lead tones are very smooth, punchy and warm as harmonics jump out with very little effort.

The Civil War is for those searching for the sound of the early 90's Russian fuzz.

Even though it has less gain than its predecessors, the Civil War is a full-bodied machine and works great on guitar as well as bass.

The low-end of the pedal gives you incredibly smooth lead tones and bass notes and chords are earth-shaking.

With the advent of the drive in restaurant, the sounds that a guitar could produce changed radically too. They became increasingly louder and more distorted. In the beginning, only the amplifiers themselves were overdriven. Then shortly afterwards the first effects pedals were introduced to the guitar player. This completely expanded the tonal possibilities for the guitarist.

This is the historical connection to the DRIVE IN. The DRIVE IN masters the classic overdrive sounds, and is just as convincing at producing different distortion variations and a considerable variety of overdrive sounds.

The DRIVE IN is aimed at the player who likes a classic overdrive sound when playing blues or rock music. The DRIVE IN is not a high-gain metal distortion unit. It has been designed to appeal to the more discerning player who loves rich, deep smooth sounds that blend wonderfully into the mix and give expression and character to the music.

With the DRIVE IN you can achieve a slight saturation of drive to your sound or a deep distortion full of sustain. In contrast to the usual overdrive pedals currently available, the DRIVE IN not only provides the player with controls for level, drive and tone but with a newly developed COLOR control. Whilst a classic tone control dampens the treble range of a classic overdrive pedal, the COLOR control on the DRIVE IN mostly changes the frequencies in the bass and mid range and thus, gives important access to frequencies that change the character of the sound, adding another dimension to the users experience.

Gladio SC (single channel), is designed to offer the same sound of the "big brother" Gladio but in a smaller and compact size.

While the Gladio double channel was inspire by the artists like Robben Ford and Sonny Landreth, the Gladio SC tries to take a step closer to the Steve Ray Vaughan sound, which was achieved using a Dumble amplier too.

The Gladio SC is based on the Gladio 1st channel, with the exact same sound and controls, except the new CLEAN knob. This addition makes a very big dfference, and it's the one that could actually make the sound be closer to SRV.; the clean signal is taken directly at the input of the pedal and mixed back with the overdriven signal at the output, the CLEAN knob thus manages the volume of the clean signal. with the result of having a "clean layer" on top of the overdrive sound, which help a lot to achieve that texas-blues sound.

A Clean knob like this affects 3 parameters all at once (you can notice their change sweeping the Clean from zero to even a 40% rotation): - Bottom End: the sound becomes fatter - Compression: The non-compressed clean sound comes into the mix, and the change in compression is particularly accentuated on the attack. - Saturation: When the clean sound comes into the mix the final output sound becomes hotter, and it’s able to better push the front end of the amp.

Have you ever tried reaching that John Mayer tone we know and love? or Have you ever played with a Tube screamer just wishing to have more control over the tone and dyanimc of the pedal?

The answer to the above cases has a name: Cornerstone Antique.

The Antique is our take on the classic sounds which are notoriously recognized with the Tube Screamer. Don’t worry, the Antique is not a clone, but while it definitely belongs to the Screamer-like family of overdrives, It has a well-defined tone specifically tweaked to achieve the bluesy sounds of John Mayer.

The Gain and Volume controls are pretty much self explaining.

But here comes the magic designed to help you find a renewed inspiration when using a classic screamer sound:

The TONE control: it manages the low-mid frequency content. The PRESENCE control: it shapes the hi-mids and high-end content. MIDS (cut) toggle switch: it manages the overall mids content, in UP position is the classic TS mids, in DOWN position mids are cut.

These three controls together allow you to discover a whole new different sounds and colors, all in the tonal range of John Mayer Trio sounds.

Finally, the COMP switch is managing the overall dynamic response of the pedal.

The Antique requires a standard 9V DC Negative power supply only.

We’ve always been fascinated by the sound of great artists like Robben Ford or Eric Johnson (to name a few) and it’s always been our dream to recreate those sounds in a pedal. To do that, we soon realized that the key was to be able to offer something close to the amps they were using. The design goal had a name: Dumble. This is the reason why GLADIO is an Overdrive with a realistic tube-compression behavior to mimiq the Dumble famous preamps saturation, still always retaining a rich touch-sensitive response.

Why two channels? It’s all about versatility. GLADIO has two independent channels with totally different voices, which combined together offer an even wider range of sounds.

WHAT ABOUT CHANNEL 1? The 1st channel is able to deliver a smooth and creamy sounds (inspired by songs like Robben Ford’s Cannonball Shuffle). It’s really transparent and with a round touch-sensitive response that helps enhancing the playing. Controls (Gain, Tone and Volume) are self-explaining and there’s a toggle switch called COMP to choose between two different compression levels.

WHAT ABOUT CHANNEL 2? The 2nd channel is designed to offer a special hard clipping sound pretty much inspired by Sonny Landreth’s tone. Controls are all self-explaining and there’s a toggle switch called JAZZ/ROCK, which should not need presentations.

WANT MORE VERSATILITY? The Gladio is eequipped with a special toggle switch to choose between two different switching modes. "S" which stands for "SINGLE" and "D" which stands for "DOUBLE".

In Single mode you can use only one channel at a time, which means that pressing the footswitch of one of the two channels makes the other turn off (avoiding tip tap dancing). In Double mode you can stack the two channels to reach a huge fat Dumbl-esque sound.
