That’s awesome!!!!Unique Overdrive/ Fuzz!
Enclosure is a Tayda Matte Black Powder Coated.
Sanded the Top back to bare metal and edge.
Finished up with Automotive Clear Coat & BLMS Skinny knobs.
Used Automotive paint pen to make Red markers.
Cleaned up excess with thinners.

Looking into that. only $8.50 from Smallbear. I could probably clamp my dremel with a cutoff wheel bit installed and stick the bobbin on with some heavy duty tape. I'd need to buy the 500 ft spool of enameled wire though. I wonder how many inductors that could make. hahaYou can always wind your own.
Which inductor did you use? Where did you source it from? Just about to start ordering parts for mine.Unique Overdrive/ Fuzz!

Pardon what is probably a dumb question, but this project lists both NPN and PNP transistors. Are the PNP used for switching?
The PNPs (Q4 & Q5) are for clipping. In the original Vox amp circuit, Q3 & Q7 were for switching the fuzz on/off. They are hardwired on in the White Pedal and Conqueror.
Nice clean build!
Ah, thanks. This is helpful. Just did some reading on wiring transistors as diodes!They're wired as diodes, so hFE has only a mild effect. If you are OCD about symmetry, you want to match vbe and hFE. I doubt that Vox or Jext Telez bothered to do so.
I mentioned in another thread that Q4 & Q5 can be replaced with jumpers, and some other parts deleted; the sound will be the same.
