Well, I have eyed this board for years. I think you have convinced me. And yes, those knobs were the correct choice. Great job.

@OD is Glorious Good advice. The finish is nice. I just wish it was durable.

This is a versatile pedal. I feel that it provides distortion > fuzz. It is an easy build with easy to acquire parts. That being stated, I had some trouble. The pedal worked, but sounded mis-biased. I tried checked my parts, but in the end, I had a faulty 2N3906. Also, I have been frustrated...

One of my first pedals was a point to point Mod kit. They do a good job. At $65, that is a nice price point.

If it hasn’t shipped, I am sure @Robert can work some magic. Regardless, I think it is a nice fuzz and a worthwhile build. He has some of the lesser available transistors too.

Thanks! I use a UV printed sticker and the thin lines were tough to get placed correctly.

Not much is written about this pedal. I think it is not as popular, because it is made by Fender. I named it Contentious fuzz, because of the recent litigations by Fender. It seemed suitable for this situation. Regarding the pedal, it provides a nice sounding fuzz that is different from your...

Haha! You are right! @keyth72 is the ring leader! He has done some great stuff for the community.

I can imagine the sound, dope…. Looks even better. Great job!

I suspect that with another set of dip switches, Chase Bliss will be sending you a cease and desist letter. Seriously, great job! Love the sound and the creativity.

At PedalPCB, they happen about once a month.

When I was younger, I thought that Brazilians were the greatest because of Rivaldo, Ronaldo and Roberto Carolos’ left foot. Now, I still feel the same, but due to Collateral FX. I need to learn Portuguese…. Great stuff as always.

So, this may explain an experience I had with another board. Like this one, the power was lost at the diode. I could see that the trace was present, but I couldn’t understand why there was no continuity. A broken trace from the fat diode would explain it.

I have 4.7 V at the R14/R12 juncture and 2.1 V on the other end of R14. Something is grounding your VCC. I would consider the following (in order): Confirm that you have the correct Zener and placement Make sure that none of these parts, except for the Zener is going to ground Replace R12...

If you are not getting power to the zener and Q3's collector, I would suspect there is an issue in this area. I'd check continuity from C100 to R12 and R12 to R14 and D2 (Zener). The resistors, based on my review, look to be the correct values. To further prove an issue is in this area, you...
