The Liquor Factory
It’s not a factory and it doesn’t produce any liquor. But it’s everybody’s favorite place to pick up potent potables in my town. Behold, the Liquor Factory in Hopactong, New Jersey. Shot with FujiFilm X-E3 and Fujinon 23mm f/2.

Onesie — Bazz Fuss Project
The Onesie project is my contribution (one of them, anyway) to the long and glorious history of a fantastic DIY fuzz circuit known as the Bazz Fuss. It’s super simple and sounds fantastic. This iteration of the Bazz Fuss stays true to the original, but … Continue readingOnesie — Bazz Fuss Project
MXR Distortion+ Clone
This is a very basic PCB that clones the MXR Distortion+ or DOD 250 Overdrive. It’s a very old project of mine, but the layout is verified and the Eagle files can be used as a jumping-off point for a new project. Download the Plus-Dist … Continue readingMXR Distortion+ Clone
Bodhi — Zen Drive Clone
This is basically a Zen Drive clone with a few very minor tweaks. I mainly drew this up because people said, “You can’t do a Zen Drive clone!! It’s immoral!!” And then I said, “Oh, yeah? Hold my beer!” Keep in mind this was back … Continue readingBodhi — Zen Drive Clone
Dumpster 26

AstroClone — Astrotone Fuzz Clone
Thought I’d redraw the classic AstroTone circuit and tinker around a bit. With some mods, it sort of reminds me of a light-weight version of the Colorsound Overdriver. The schematic in the File Pack below has the vintage parts values (to the best of my … Continue readingAstroClone — Astrotone Fuzz Clone
Game of Tones: Bluesbreaker Clone
The Game of Tones is a modified version of the often-cloned Marshall Bluesbreaker^ overdrive pedal. The main differences include: hard diode clipping to virtual ground (instead of feedback loop), a diode type toggle switch, and the addition of pot to control the high-end frequencies (Presence). … Continue readingGame of Tones: Bluesbreaker Clone
Nikon F4s – What a Beast
Quite possibly the best camera ever made, in my opinion. The Nikon F4s was the first-ever professional camera body to feature autofocus capabilities. It was released in 1988 and still enjoys popularity with film shooters to this day. What a beast of a camera. I … Continue readingNikon F4s – What a Beast
Decayed Bloom
The decayed bloom remnants of a once-beautiful flower in bucolic Cherryville, North Carolina. Shot with FujiFilm X-T2 and Fujinon 23mm f/2. Shot at f/2 @ 1/400 | ISO 200. Used gear is always cheaper, so if you are interested in pickup up an X-T2 (which … Continue readingDecayed Bloom
