Wow, these are perfect! Thanks Dino, PM sent.

Another Moonstone build, mostly the trim tone with a couple of mods to the circuit, this one in a modded Mayer Rocket enclosure. I guess its a MoonRocket now. but the acronym A.R.K. fits it well.

Bumping this zombie thread. 

I've got a Moonrock coming in for some repair work. Most of the schematics in this thread are not defunct because of PhotoBucket. Is there any way one of you guys could repost the last known good schematic? That would be awesome. Thanks.

^^ Thank you!

Has anyone built one?  What does it sound like?... the multiple clipping stages look insane.

I found the original to be meh. I found that it only really worked well with single coils, and playing dynamics can play a big role in what it will, or will not do.

Russ (Cozybuilder) really took it to the next level. His mods made it a much more versatile circuit, giving much more consistent tones and performance. Here's one (among many) of the Cozybuilder schematics that I have. This is for a Deluxe version;

Hi folks, anyone have a schematic or any of the pics of the original Moonrock that were posted in this thread? They seem to be missing at this point, unfortunately. I've got a couple of cozybuilder's schematics saved, which is awesome (thanks for your work on those and for sharing them). But I'd love to at least have a copy of the original schematic and try out a stock one. If anyone can post a schematic or anything that might help, it would be much appreciated.

Photo below of a cozybuilder 4-knob-1-toggle moonstone build I'm still experimenting with a bit.



And here's a stripboard layout I made. The other layouts posted to this thread no longer show up, and I think this one is probably quite a bit smaller (though it's also a little bit funky as far as cuts and jumpers go). I can't promise this is 100% correct at this point.

Here is a trace of an original unit, #77. Russ was kind enough to send it to me back in the day so I could check it out. Word of warning however, from all the gutshots I've seen on the net, I'm under the impression that there may have been "tweaks" done by Mr. Wyllie from unit to unit to get the best performance out of each. As such, take the schematic below for what it is; one schematic, of one unit;



A Cozybuilder version can be found over at Dead End FX. Performance-wise, of all the Cozybuilder itineration's, I find it to be the best. Here is the link;
