New releases

It’s been a busy month! At the beginning of June we launched eight brand new projects including circuits from Runoffgroove, Way Huge and more. We also began offering J201 JFETs pre-soldered to adapters for use in through-hole applications.

Two weeks ago, it was the Redshift Phaser, based on the Blackout Whetstone, a rather large and complicated project along the lines of the L5 Preamp and Blueshift Chorus.

Today, it’s an invasion from London of the 1960s and early 70s (plus one Japanese tag-along from 1980). These are all re-releases of existing Aion FX projects, updated to the new 125B format, but with all-new documentation and a few with extra features too.


Solaris Germanium Fuzz - based on the Fuzz FaceSolaris – Fuzz Face (Deluxe)

A hot-rodded adaptation of the classic fuzz pedal made famous by Jimi Hendrix. New 125B version includes a transformer-based pickup simulator that can be switched on or off as needed.

Proteus Germanium Fuzz - based on the Fuzz FaceProteus – Fuzz Face (Standard)

For those who just want the original Fuzz Face circuit without all the modifications, the Proteus is a simplified version of the Solaris. It includes the pickup simulator, but is otherwise identical to the stock circuit.

Nucleus Vintage Boost - based on the Colorsound Power BoosterNucleus – Colorsound Power Booster

The first version of the Overdriver circuit that ran on 18 volts. This PCB includes an on-board charge pump so you can get the full voltage with a standard 9V supply.

Prism FET Amplifier - Boss FA-1Prism – Boss FA-1 FET Amplifier

A pedal conversion of the obscure but highly sought-after BOSS® FA-1 FET Amplifier, a boost with a two-band EQ that was most notably used by The Edge of U2.
