Brush Audio Modifications

Stocking stuffer alert! If you have a guitar player in your home, they will love this. It will make their gear sound and work better. I have my first small batch of pedal power converters ready today! I only have limited supplies. The price will be $30.00 for the unit. $35.00 if you need the external male to male dc cable. What does it do? This power converter, takes your boss power supply at 9v and gives you 18v, also it nicely filters some of the dc noise from dirty pow...er supplies. Perfect for overdrive pedals and preamps that can handle 18v, giving you more clarity and headroom, and much more amp like feel. Can also be dialed into 12v or 15v, ask me for the simple instructions. It is small and portable, fits on your pedal board and only costs $30.00! Will make a great stocking stuffer for the guitar players in your home at Christmas. See more

We’ll be selling our stocking stuffer tins, other neat things and will begin sign-ups for Winter Guitar and Bass private lessons. Stop by for some socially distance festive guitar geeking! Hilltop near the park.

Introducing my Mini Power Amp. Great for someone looking to save space on their pedalboard or have something portable, this amp can deliver. I have two available circuit types; one 40 watts, one 80 watts that can be housed in a small tin, large pedal enclosure, cigar box, candy tin... you get the idea. These are small and lightweight with a true custom look. ... This Mini Power Amp is powered by any standard power brick, 18v to 24v (ie: like a 19v power supply for your laptop). You can then plug any preamped device (acoustic guitar with electronics, multifx pedal, preamp pedal and more) from your guitar and get amplified sound from any speaker. This gives you portable amplifier ‘sound’ without having to haul all your heavy gear. From 40 to 80 watts in the palm of your hand! It’s pretty cool! Pricing will very from $60 to $100, based on circuit and enclosure type. * Power Supply not included

Introduction to my Voltage Doubler in a cool Altoids tin. This little guy takes your 9v power adaptor in one side and gives you 18v out the other. It can make your overdrives and preamp pedals sound more clear, and create a more amp-like tone with the increased head room. Plus it looks cool! $25 each or $30 if you need the output power cable. ... As an added bonus, the circuit is quite effective at filtering noise from your current 9v power supplies! P.S. I can make the output for 12v or 15v as well! PM me to order!

Eyes peeled gear junkies! Lets get Matt his rig back!

Budget friendly mods with big gains! Joyo deluxe crunch capable of running 9v to 18v, and a curiously strong boost converter to get 18v from a 9v boss style adaptor.

Brand new guitar tuner for sale 15$. Small and works great.

I just finished with a new circuit build and test, for a high end jfet boost (socketed transistor j102 and 4001 diode), elna electrolytic capacitor, metal film resistor, an internal bias trim pot and a nice yellow film cap. ***My plan is to build a few more circuits: including some germanium/silicon treble boosters, and a tasty overdrive.

Happy new years!!

A while ago I started this overdrive, but new years has brought inspiration to my custom project. Russian black glass germanium diode 1d311 with two leds for assymetracal clipping, loosely based on the boss od1. I am using a low noise jrc4560 dual opamp. High quality electrolytics and metal film resistors both to lower noise and improve signal path. Its has a very transparent and dynamic sound, low gain to medium, lots of boost. The opamp amp and clipping diodes are sockete...d on this guy to aid in listening to component choices. Since the opamp is socketed, I could substitute a burr brown or any compatible dual opamp. It will also run at 9v or 18v standard boss input. I!!!! I could mod your overdrive pedal to a similar spec.!!!! Or, if you like the sound samples coming soon, you could talk to me about this overdrive. I still have to case it, but, when thats done and samples posted to YouTube, I will build more! See more

Now offering my services to the Ayr area and beyond! I am getting my guitars tuned up for the Christmas holidays what about you?

I left the enclosure unfinished as it is a clone, so you can add you own customized knobs and decals, or even paint it yourself, Of Course, All you would need to do is add a smile and it would a fuzz face lol

Alrighty! I ahve my first FUZZ FACE clone for sale, posted here and Kijiji. I cant believe I am going to let it go for 200$, This thing sounds amazing!

I just got my fuzz face parts in the mail! so excited. I will be using premium quality alpha pots, old stock Japanese 2sb germanium transistors with great hfe values (the right gain and q1 of 80 and q2 of 110)! This pedal will be PNP (old school) so the power adaptor will require a polarity adaptor to switch a regular boss style pedal adaptor to work with this guy. Hence it will be a fantastic clone. Also, I will be adding an internal trim pot so that who ever ends up with th...is will be able to mod the pedal with different transistors and / or shape the fuzz from Floyd smooth to outright splaty and gated, it will be the KING of fuzz pedals. Given the rarity of the quality germanium transistors ( i had to salvage them my self by digging through old radios, like a needle in a hay stack!) , I will be looking for $225. As a clone I will be leaving the enclosure unfinished so that is can be finished by the owners request See more
