Hay I wanna build an ss amp based on the shred master but I can't find any layout or pcb of the effect (The BYOC shredder will be fine too). Also is there any mods available for it?
Another question. Do anyone have schematic/layout/pcb of the wamper triple wreck or the super plextortion?

I looked in the 'Schematics' link at the top of the page.

If you check somewhere down this page.

There's a schem for the Shredmaster.

Hope this helps.

I already have a schematic. I found one pcb with some mods. Can any body tell if it is good?

I don't know Spainish (i think this is written in spanish) but I think thiese are bass, trebble, gain and clipping mods

yup ... the modifications ( which are described in the dotted line boxes ) are:

1)  adding a SPDT switch ( on - off - on ) and 2 capacitors for selection of different bass response
2)  adding a SPDT switch ( on - on ) and 1 resistor for higher gain selection out of the 2nd IC stage
3)  adding a SPDT switch ( on - off - on ) and 2 capacitors for selection of different treble response
4)  adding a SPDT switch ( on - on ) and 8 Ge diodes for selection of different clipping [ normal or crunch ]

if you compare this schematic to the BYOC Shredder schematic, you'll be able to see where the modifications were made  .... I can wholeheartedly recommend any kit from BYOC ... so you can trust that schematic to be accurate ...

if your budget allows, why not build the BYOC shredder 1st ... and then try a modification ?  you don't have to do all the mods ... just the one(s) where you would like a bit more versatility out of the circuit ... note that the stock Shredder already includes 5 controls ( Volume, Bass, Treble, Contour, and Gain ) and 1 switch for bypass  .... adding 4 more switches is going to eat up plenty of panel real estate ...

best of luck and please let us know your thoughts on the circuit

And no, I' not a Spanish guy...I am a proud Brazilian stompbox addicted guy.

Here is an English version of the doc above.

Well sorry I though this was Spanish. I just guessed. BYOC don't send to my country so I can't build the kit. Also I want to use it like a ss amp preamp so I think I'll be just fine with the space problem. I got another two questions. The first one what is the "c'? on the the circuit? And the second one is why there is a little schematic in a square? How do I use it?

Thanks for the help

Ok, the little schematic inside the square shows the byppass for the effect, follow the letters and you 'll have a splitter bypass like in the original Marshall unit.
Use the main schematic with that one, search the letters in main schematic and the board, that is a DPDT switch.
