Thought I'd try a throwback parts point to point build.
Here's the link to the plan and BOM: Amplified Parts Blackout Fuzz
Pretty basic Fuzz. Pretty nice sounding, tight and in control. Not a lot of volume on tap, pretty much have to dime the volume to get just barely above unity.
I went off script from the build plan and did some architectural wiring. I wouldn't recommend the cloth covered wire when doing this, it's a pain in the ass.
I wired a couple of U shaped "normal" sheathed wire jumpers on the bottom most row of pins as standoffs which worked really well. The rest of the stiff wires keep the board pretty firmly in place.
This is graphic really shows off the ability to hold detail with caustic soda etching. Somehow I must have messed up the mask on the "GAIN" text though.
next time I etch I'm going to try to rough up the big washer to make it match the rest of the pedal a bit.
