Tychobrahe Octave Fuzz (etched PCB)

[Guilherme Collateral]

Hey guys, how are you doing? I've been working like crazy the last few weeks, so it's been a while since my last post. I decided to build a Tychobrahe Octavia since I had all the parts here, a PCB I etched years ago and a spare enclosure. Really love the blue knobs over the white enclosure! Excuse the wiring, isn't my best, but I was out of cable ties, so, well...

Oh, and you can always use shrink wrap instead of ties, just solder one side first, slip it on, etc...

The blue knobs on the white does look really good.

I've been wanting to try an Octavia. Where did you source the transformer?

It's a very nice sounding one, and if you kill the octave (the switch in mine) is a really great fuzz unity. I think I got the transformer at smallbear!
