Thanks! I’ll dig a little deeper. I’ll also swap out the diodes. I’m using what’s on the BOM. But, I have tons of diodes either way to try. I did socket the diodes to change them out as well. I’ll check them later today to see if they are leaking.

I’m probably not explaining this correctly. When maxed out, the clean is more present than the fuzz. And the tone cuts out when I strum normally. I guess it wouldn’t technically be clipping, more of cutting out. Diodes might be an issue. I did socket them to mess around with different...

I’ll give this a try. I did get a massive resistor pack on Amazon, that did have a 390R and still has a lot of clipping. Also, the clean signal cuts through the fuzz if I strum normally. If I lightly strum, the fuzz is present and sounds good. Hope that makes sense.

Makes perfect sense! Thanks again! I’m pretty new to pedal building, but not with electronics. I’ve been doing a lot of homework, and all the advice everyone’s been giving me here has helped a ton too!

Looks like you ditched the LDR and yellow LED. I see a capacitor in its place. I’m curious why you went that route? Excuse my dumb question. Thanks!

That helps a lot! I kind of figured it would be something I’d need to adjust by ear and preference. Thanks for the tips and help!

Hey guys! Still new to pedal building and having a great time! Just ordered the Pitch Witch PCB and saw it requires a 100k trim pot. I was curious if anyone had any tips to what value I should see from the trim pot? Or is it kind of something I have to play with and dial in? Sorry if that’s...

Awesome. I did change it out to the proper resistor, but I still have a strange clipping sound when I crank up the fuzz and tone pots. Not sure why, I'll have to dig into it. Might be the characteristics of the pedal too, as I've never tried a fuzz war pedal yet. Thanks for your help!

Hey guys! I'm fairly new to pedal building. But have built a handful of pedals with little to no issues. I love the fuzz war, so decided to build this circuit. It works, however, i ordered 390k resistors instead of 390r (ohms). I had some 330r (ohms) on hand and stuck these, with sockets...
