Dwarfcraft Great Destroyer

Here's a fun sputtery beast for Fuzz Friday. Like many of Dwarfcraft offerings, this ones got a lot of character and goes from fuzz to experimental with just a few knob turns. I've laid it out so you can fit it in a 1590B long-ways (much like a zVex pedal). Here's the schematic for reference.

Dwarfcraft Shiva

This week's Fuzz Friday layout is the Dwarfcraft Shiva. It's a unique fuzz that can deliver wicked, buzzy fuzz tones. The toggle switches turn on and off LEDs in the 2nd and 3rd stages of the circuit, and the Starve switch bypasses the Starve pot. I've laid it out to fit in a 1590B if you don't want to include the starve footswitch, though you could probably squeeze it in that size.

Dwarfcraft Devices Robot Devil

Got a request for the EQD Bit Commander, and while there doesn't seem to be a schematic for it, my search for one lead me to this effect. It's no Bit Commander, but it does do the synth-y octave down thing. The original Robot Devil has the octave switch (which allows you to switch between one octave down and 2 octaves down) as a footswitch. If you go that route, you'll need to use a DPDT if you want LED indication. Or you could just use a toggle SPDT if you want to put it in a 1590B and don't like the idea of having 2 footswitches on such a small box.



Here's how to wire the octave switch as a footswitch with LED indication:


As is, the LED turns on if the sub octave (2 octaves down) is activated. If you wanted, you could use 2 LEDs (or a bi-color LED) to indicate which octave is in effect. Just connect the cathode of one LED to lug 6 (anode to +9v via 2.2k resistor) to indicate 1 octave down.
