Electronic Horn

This is an easy, low cost and easy built circuit of an electronic horn which is designed close to quadruple op-amp IC LM3900 (IC1). IC LM3900 has four independent operational-amplifiers (A1 through A4) having a large output voltage swing. It is able to operate at up to 32V DC. The 1st op-amp (A1) is designed… Read More »

Maestro Boomerang Pedal

Here the circuit diagram of Maestro Boomerang pedal / Wah-Wah pedal for electric guitar effect. Note: Transistors Q1 and Q2 were designated P-2356. The Maestro Boomerang is not only a wide range wah wah pedal but also a volume pedal. It’s deemed as one of the best wah pedals ever built – and I totally… 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 »
