Theremin Music Instrument

The following diagram is the Theremin music instrument effect. A guitar or instrument amplifier is an ideal companion unit for the theremin; either one allows bass or treble boost, as desired, and fuzz (distortion) or reverberation (if these features are incorporated in the amplifier”s circuit). Simply provide a suitable cable plug and connect the theremin”s… Read More »

Tube Mic Pre-Amp

The following diagram is the circuit diagram of tube mic pre amplifier 12AX7. This circuit is little hard to built. You must have an intermediate or advanced skills to build this circuit. All capacitors with value of 33uF are 16V, while the all others are 50V unless marked otherwise. Resistors marked with “#” are 1%… Read More »

BOSS Slow Gear SG-1

This is the circuit diagram of BOSS Slow Gear SG-1 effect for electric guitar. The Slow Gear SG-1 effect sounded like a guitar player riding the volume knob of the guitar. This produced a cool swelling sound with a gradual attack, almost like a violin. At $99.50 original retail price, the Slow Gear was a… Read More »

The circuit is quite simple, easy build and inexpensive, you can build this circuit with minimum / low cost. Active Tone Control or ACTOR is an active electronic audio circuit that serves to increase the… Read More »

Electro-Harmonix Big Muff Pi Effect

The following diagram is the schematic diagram of electric guitar effect: Electro-Harmonix (EH) Big Muff Pi. The EH Big Muff Pi effect circuit would probably be better making the change by a modern input-jack power and a  DPDT bypass switch. The types of transistors and diodes are unknown. It is likely that any high gain… Read More »

Dan Amstrong Blue Clipper Fuzz Guitar Effect

Below diagram is the circuit diagram of Dan Amstrong Blue Clipper fuzz, effect for electric guitar: The Blue Clipper is a thick sounding fuzz with gargantuan sustain. The Blue Clipper delivers a nice, thick fuzz like the Muff, but this unit packs a little more bite. The big difference is that the gain level is… Read More »
