The Electrosmash.com Archives
For over a decade, ElectroSmash.com provided the builder and DIY communities with some of the best information about classic effect circuits, popular integrated circuits, and DIY projects from headphone amplifiers to digital signal processing. Sometime in early September 2022, the website went dark. Rare Buzz Effects was able to recover almost the entire website using the wayback machine, and will host it going forward until ElectroSmash comes back online. All of the content in this section of our website is originally from ElectroSmash including text, images, code, and supplemental files.
