Guitar Analog Circuit Design

General
Project
Here are some popular analog guitar-circuit ideas you can build in Flux:
- Clean-boost/buffer
- Overdrive/distortion pedal
- Fuzz pedal
- Compressor
- Graphic or parametric EQ (tone-stack)
- Wah or filter sweep
- Tremolo or amplitude modulation
- Phaser or flanger (BBD-based)
- Chorus (BBD-based)
- Analog delay (bucket-brigade)
To narrow down the best fit, let’s define your goals and constraints:
- Which effect(s) interest you most?
- Overdrive, fuzz, boost, compressor, EQ, modulation, delay, etc.
- What power supply will you use?
- 9 V battery, 9 V DC adapter, or dual ± rails?
- What form factor and controls do you need?
- Number of pots, footswitches, I/O jacks, LED indicators, enclosure size
- Do you want true-bypass switching or buffered-bypass?
- Any tonal or technical requirements?
- Tube-like warmth, low noise, high headroom, specific frequency range
Once you pick an effect, I can sketch a block diagram (e.g., gain stage → tone stack → buffer) and recommend parts from the Flux library. For example, here’s a basic overdrive pedal architecture:

Let me know your preferences for the questions above, and we’ll move on to selecting components and laying out the schematic!
