I’m surprised I had not covered this one before, but I suppose it is a MKI, so it should feel fairly familiar. There seem to have been a few...

So this looks like one of the D*A*M one-offs from back in the day - a MKI style fuzz, using a variation on a Zonk layout.  There are some de...

Just a little fuzz face variant from D*AM - the Maggot Brain from 2019.  There are some more recent variations on this as well.   Could not ...

Since I'm doing boosters at the moment - the D*A*M Supa Rooster.    I'd suggest placing a 1m resistor on the input and output if you...

The D*A*M Drag n Fly DF-05 is a hybrid fuzz pedal that combines silicon and germanium transistors, drawing inspiration from the classic Fuzz...

This the D*A*M Dragonfly DF-06, which is somewhat confusingly not the same circuit as the D*A*M Drag n Fly.  They're both in the Fuzz F...

A full description can be found here , which is the tagboard layout.  I built mine on tagboard, but that isn't for everyone, so the stan...

So I just worked out why I purchased some Motorola MC1748CG tin can op amps - it was to make one of these.  I've had them in my parts dr...

This is as close as I could get to the original layout for the D*A*M Sonic Titan.   It's pretty much a JFET smashing the LM386 with leve...

While I was thinking of what could be made with tag board off-cuts, this popped into my head.  The D*A*M Red Rooster Booster is probably my ...

As far as I know, only a handful of D*A*M FZ-678 were ever made, maybe 5 in total - it's a variation on a Zonk Machine.  It's the sa...
