T.M.K.

T.M.K. Layout

T.M.K. stands for “too many knobs.” :D Designed by Tim Escobedo, this circuit can produce a wide range of fuzzy sounds. There is a good sound clip on his site. Here’s Tim’s list of what the pots do (following the numbering on my version of the schematic):

    pot 1: feedback
    pot 2: input impedance
    pot 3: gain/color
    pot 4: crossover distortion
    pot 5: octave/fundamental blend
    pot 6: volume

At the time, I was trying out some features in this layout suggested by Chris Gregory, Mark Hammer, and Jim Rayden: ground fill, wider traces, and identifying text. And Chris Gregory <stobiepole@gmail.com> kindly wrote to say that he has verified this layout. His build is shown above.
