@K Pedals - Thanks so much!

@K Pedals - Do you have a drill template for the Fuzz Foundry Deluxe that you could share? Still waiting for the build docs to post.

@PedalPCB - It's here!! Is the Fat rotary switch the 1P8T?

I don't have a noise gate currently, but I have the vero prepped for an MXR noise gate. I'll update once I've given that a try. It'll take me a few days. My pedal building time is limited. I could see how that might help. Haha I love the Fuzz Factory. But I also love the Super Hard On and...

Thanks for this. I'll give it a try later today and report back. I just tried a Boss pedal in front as a buffer and it didn't seem to make a difference.

Thanks for chiming in. I was hope to hear from others who built it. I'll agree that it seems to have a mind of it's own. I'm liking some of the weird sounds I'm getting, but it always has an underlying noise that bugs the hell outta me.

The connections under the rate pot look good. I cleaned up some solder joints that might have been questionable, but don't notice a difference. The noise isn't constant. It's like artifacts between notes or after a note. The more I futz with the pedal, the more I think this is just the way it...

I did that too! I pulled it out of the enclosure to take pics, and I connected to a battery to test the new TL072.

I checked all the resistors with a multimeter, all correct values. Also double checked the capacitors, all correct. I had a spare TL072 ic so I swapped that out. Noise is still there. I'm stumped. Attached a shot of the solder side of the board.

Thanks! I'll check resistors tomorrow and snap a pic of the solder side. (y)

Updated with pics. Thanks!

I did. I ordered the one from Small Bear using the link in the build doc. The switch is functioning properly from what I can gather.

Hi! Everything is functioning properly on my Super Heterodyne Receiver build, but there's a consistent crackling noise no matter what adjustments I make to the knobs/switches etc. This noise happens without playing a note. I tried two different guitars with the same result. Really frustrating...

Lord Helmet Voice: "I see your caps are as big as mine." - I just built one too, same honkin' caps.

Sounds awesome, in a completely brutal way. :-) Appreciate the demos. Gonna try my hand at etching based on your walkthrough as well. How'd you do the sparkle? And is there a gradient in the purple?
