Boards and turrets! Yeah!
Yo! Here’s vero layout for Elka Dizzy Tone!
Very rare vintage fuzz unit. It’s almost indentical to Baldwin Burns Buzzaround – just few components values are changed.
PAGE UPDATE 03/04/2012
Here’s tag board adaptation for Elka Dizzy Tone based on Buzzaround layout (just little smaller – should fit 125b enclosure).
In orginal unit as Q1 and Q2 where used SFT352 (schematic on fsb.org shows hfe around 50) and SFT308 or OC44 as Q3 (hfe around 70).
Enjoy!

Yo!
Another cool dirt box from D*A*M crew – FUZZ rong!
Based on germanium version of Mosrite Fuzz Rite. Great garage punk tones! 😉
For Q1 should be used Ge PNP transistor with higher hfe (try in 120-200hfe bucket) and for Q2 something with lower gain (65-80hfe bucket).
UPDATE 13/06/2012
New 0.1″ pitch stripboard layout!

Enjoy!
Rock On!

Yo! Here’s D*A*M take on Dallas Rangemaster – Red Rooster!
It’s classic treble booster circuit with added capacitor input blend and trimpot in place of 3k9 resistor on transistor emitter for better bias.
First roosters where made with excellent NPN germanium transistor CV7112 (military specs OC140). Later NPN units sports OC140 or OC139. Most recent PNP versions are equipped with many different transistor types – OC71, OC72, OC42, OC45, Magnatec AC128, CV7355 and CV7004.
Usually low leakage transistors in 70-100hfe gain bucket are recomended, but You can try other transistor types or specs – trust Your ears, not eyes 🙂

IMPORTANT UPDATE 13/06/2012
Due to D*A*M counterfeit pedals that recently appeared on the marked all D*A*M straight layouts will be removed from turretboard.org and will be replaced soon with our own works and interpretations.

Text added and corrected PDF layout uploaded.

Here’s layout for custom one-off MKI-ish Tone Bender called by D.A. Main “Logan Bender” made for one of D*A*M forum members.
It’s MKI type Tone Bender with some interesting components values tweeks. In fact..
it’s closer to Zonk Machine specs than Tone Bender 🙂
I’m not sure of Level pot value – maybe it’s 1M instead 500K due to lower output resistor (680K instead 2.2M)..?
It sports three rare Mullard labeled OC75, and I bet that it’s sounds killer! 🙂

Yo!
I don’t know if any of You are familiar with Pigdog Pedals… If not – You should! Steve’s work are always true art of work – for ears and for eyes, as well.
Here’s lovely point to point layout for Pigdog Driver, which is… Yes! Treble Booster with added input capacitors blend. This allows to achive stock treble booster tones or even full boost! Additionaly output cap is increased. All other circuit components values are stock. There where builded 11 units in total and few more in smaller enclosure.
All Drivers are filled with mojo parts and rare germanium transistors and dedicated to british racing legends.
Some even sports legendary yellow Mullard OC44 or ultra rare OC70!
Have fun!
UPDATE 24/03/2012
Added tagboard version – get the project file here [.pdf]
It’s not the same layout as used by Steve in his Mini Drivers, but has the same specs.
Peace!

Here’s oldie TS9 from my private stash.
As you see on pictures it was made 1984, S/N starting at 4, and most electrolytic caps with date codes starts on 84XX makes me to think that.
There is no date codes or brand on the pots.
Battery cover and board are marked MAXON, IC chip is hated TA75558P, but I don’t really give a fuck about JRC mojo rave…
Diodes have legendary blue stripe, back plate is silver “pre CE” type. This and the rest is nicely visible on the picts attached..
Here’s tasty, oldshool Interfax – Harmonic Percolator vero project
Cross between fuzz and overdrive.
Hybrid germanium/silicon transistors with germanium diodes
You should be good with 0.1″ pitch stripboard as well as with wider 0.15″ doing this build, depend on what enclosure you’ll chose to use
0.15″ pitch vero is recommended  due axial components use
