Competition Launch Coming Soon!
Stay tuned this week guys for the very first competition coming soon! We have an AWESOME prize to give away. More information in the Competitions area soon (Features > Competitions), or check out my youtube (http://www.youtube.com/adji87) and subscribe to see the video before anyone else!
Balkan Pedals
Check out the information on the two pedals that Balkan currently offer! They have some great sounding stuff at prices so low you wouldn’t believe it!
Lizard Leg Effects
Check out the information on the two Lizard Leg Effects boost pedals. These are gaining some good rep in the guitar community despite being pretty unheard of. Alongside the boost pedals LLE also make some loopers and other utility boxes.
Liquid Gain
The Hydra from Liquid Gain / Montreux Guitars is one of those legendary pedals that everyone has heard of, but no-one seems to have. Check out the information area as I attempt to expel some of those myths. Do want.
DIY
Okay, I noticed recently that quite a few people are searching the website for schematics and DIY tips on building their own pedals. Well you asked for it, DirtBox delivers!
I am pretty new to the world of DIY stompboxes myself but in this section I will attempt to pass on the limited knowledge I have, which should be ideal for a beginner. Do not expect tutorials of full amp builds or anything like that, who knows, in a few years time I might be able to offer this kind of thing, but for now this will be very much simple projects built either directly in an enclosure (such as A/B switchers) or simple veroboard projects like some fuzz boxes or something.
Stay tuned for some content coming soon!
King Of The Tubes
Ibanez have just released a brand new pedal into their range of Tube King pedals, The TK999OD! After the great popularity of the original Tube King Distortion it was only a matter of time (albeit a lone time!) before Ibanez released an Overdrive version. First impressions are good! Info in the information area.
The Brother Of Sasquatch
Tortuga have recently released another great fuzz pedal that is closely related to their Sasquatch circuit. Check out the Wendigo silicon fuzz.
Tim, Timmy!
After putting it off since the opening of the website (due to the great lack of information out there regarding these pedals) I have finally decided to add what I can regarding Paul Cochrane’s Tim and Timmy pedals. I recently contacted Paul to add my name to the waiting list for a Timmy, so hopefully in around six months time or so I can give it a full feature review and clear up some urban myths about this elusive little box. Until then though go and whet your appetites by reading the information about it, and checking out the mighty reviews and acclaim it receives elsewhere on the net.
FX Schematics
I am noticing a lot of people are searching for schematics of various pedals in the search bar at Dirt Box. Dirt Box is not a site that hosts schematics. At the moment Dirt Box is tailored to providing information, reviews, and tips on all things dirty and distorty and not a hub for DIY effects as such. If this is something you would like to see at Dirt Box then get in touch and let me know either by contacting me directly or by posting in our forum.
I have several schematics and veroboard layouts that I have drawn and if there is demand I may put them online and start a sub-section of the site for this kind of thing, but I will not host other people’s schematics as this can be getting into murky waters with legal obligations and stuff that I just do not understand.
Let me know what you think.
Fuzz Euphoria From Euthymia
Check out the information on Euthymia Electornics’ three mighty fuzz circuits. Euthymia uses only the highest quality components and everything is wired up using Silver Teflon wire.
