Fuzz Face Build without Knobs .... Help Please

[marpa94]

Hi all you guys and girls @Padalpecb,

i'm new to the site ,
i'm planning to build a Fuzz Face Germanium PNP only battery ,without Knobs......

here's the thing , if i don't want the Volume and the fuzz knobs,

1) do i have just to remove them and substitute them with resistors?

2) does the wiring remain the same?

and last, i'd like to have the value of the POTS like the are full at max.

What should i do,
can't wait hearing from you all.......

Please forgive my english, i'm better at soldering.

thanks in advance

ciao from sunny italy

Wire trim pots to the pot pads? This way you can always dial in some other value when needed.

hey tegendemuur ,
thanks, already did one fuzz with internal trimpots instead the external,
but what if i get rid of everything.

thx

Wire a resistor the same value as the pot between the 1st and 2nd pin and jumper the 2nd and 3rd pin. Try not to get it backwards.

I substituted the fuzz knob with 820 ohms resistor

Thanx hamerfan,
Just planning before building….

And how does it sound yours?

I’d like to get rid also of the volume pot.

Sounded best on 8 with a pot. Its fuzzy but not over the top.

Sounded best on 8 with a pot and not fuzzi over the top with the resistor ?

Over the top fuzzy with the knob on 10 (=1k resistor). i liked it on 8 (=820 ohm resistor).
