Build documentation for:
Meth amp Rev.2
Meth Amp is based around the fuzz core of the EH Big Muff pedal. The clipping diodes have
been replaced by red LEDs to take account of the change in power supply from 9V in the
original Big Muff to +/-12V in Meth Amp. To the fuzz core has been added a bunch of OTAs,
each controlling a different aspect of audio processing: gain, regen (a new feature – not
present in Big Muff), tone and volume. Thereby, each feature is fully voltage controllable.
Additionally, there is a separate x100 preamp which can be used to boost external audio for
further processing by Meth Amp.

Please observe correct polarity of the electrolytic caps (indicated by +), transistors, ICs (pin 1
indicated by square pad), LEDs (cathode indicated by flat edge) etc!
'n' = npn transistor BC547
