welcome to Apocalypse Audio, your haven for DIY guitar effects in the end times. so, start prayin to the fuzz gods, savin up those parts, and remember, when the big one goes off- keep your transistors shielded from those pesky electromagnetic pulses!

MONA LISA OVERDRIVE LAYOUT

i was asked to post a layout for the MLOD, so here it is.  enjoy!  i tried this circuit out with 2n5457, j201, and j309 fets.  they all work fine..  the Q2 position is where most of the magic is.  try different transistors for different tones.  i enjoyed a 2n5210 with an Hfe of 250-300 there, myself.  it had nice midrange content without sounding muddy.  the images are at 600 dpi, a current limiting resistor for the LED has been added, and the gain pot can go up to 10k  that's all you have.  this circuit is a great sounding boost/light OD/ line driver/buffer. i hope you dig it!

take it easy!
