TRIDENT FUZZ/OCTAVE/BOOST

VALHALLA ONE KNOB FUZZ // GANDALF OCTAVE FUZZ // MORGUL BOOST

VALHALLA ONE KNOB FUZZ

Some of you have noted that the original handwired Valhalla sounds different than the Valhalla compact deluxe. Well, you’re right! The blend circuit DOES effect the tone. So I’ve removed that and kept the gain, mids and tone controls as trimpots inside the pedal. The big knob is just volume.

GANDALF OCTAVE FUZZ

Has your love of the halfling’s leaf clearly slowed your mind? Do you follow the smoke to the riff filled land? Do you just want the sickest, gnarliest tone but don’t wanna fiddle with knobs to find it? Then the GANDALF FUZZ has ONE KNOB TO RULE THEM ALL!!!
This simple spell is cast with an opamp blasting a transformer and some germanium diodes (creating an octave up/ring mod effect). Just enough octave, just enough fuzz, just enough distortion. The perfect alchemical recipe.
This little box stacks perfectly before or after any other dirt you want to throw at it.
Now with internal trim pots for octave blend and tone!

MORGUL BOOST

So I’ve had a dirty boost other than the VIV requested many times and it prompted me to design something different.
I find there are a LOT of “transparent” boosts out there and for the most part that is accurate but it’s also common for them to decrease low end to some extent to “tighten” the sound.
BLACKHAWK loves low end and having the full range available so this simple one knob boost brings the heaviness!
I’ve added gain and tone trim pots so you can either get some added gain out of it and smooth the highs of that added gain but each MORGUL BOOST will be pre-tweaked to perfection (so take a photo before you start going for it with the trim pots)
The gain is from a single CA3130EZ opamp in the blackened version which out of all the ones I’ve tried has the best articulation, gain and compression for this circuit.
The black version comes with a 741 opamp which is a very straightforward opamp with lower compression.
