I can confirm there is a size to tone ratio when it comes to components, however a few incantations are required prior to installation for maximum mojotasticness!

Cheers! It sounds great, I was surprised how much I liked it actually but then also not surprised if that makes sense?! It was a build for a friend but think I will be making an 8 knob variant for myself soon!

Thanks guys! (y)

Thanks! :) Glad the etching tutorial has proved useful, it seems to have helped out a good few people since I wrote it 9 or so years ago, didn't really imagine that at the time!

Aztec Factory built on FuzzDog Filth Fack board. This was a request from a mate and I’d not built one before despite being curious about them. Have to say I loved it when I fired it up! Knarly fuzzy goodness! Added the fat switch for extra boeuf. Need to build my own one now! Think I might go...

Hey everyone, my latest build is the Grimafuzz from Dead End Fx. I recently built a Super Heterodyne Receiver and really liked the fuzz section of it, soon discovered there was a DeadEndFx board of just that section of the PLL so got on it straight away! It’s a thick, nasty, somewhat gated fuzz...

Yeah it is deffo on the thin side compared to a regular Hammond box, but I think it’s seems ok from my initial tests, time may well prove otherwise!?

Latest off the production line is a Sonic Titan. Has this board sat around for ages and finally got to building it. Really impressed with the sound, originally bought it as more of a curiosity due to the deliberate mojo-tastic parts requirements but it’s surpassed my expectations! Must be those...

I’ve been looking into trying screenprinting, still can’t quite decide whether it’s too much work for a one off pedal, how was your experience of it?

Awesome thanks for the reply, that’s great info and will help guide my transistor buying!

Hi all, I’m hatching a plan to build a MKI Tonebender using the Tone Vendor board for a band mate’s birthday. I’ve read a lot about the circuit being picky with transistors, even with ideal hFE and leakage specs. The predominant advice seems to be buy a bunch and keep swapping them around until...

Cheers!

Ah wow, didn’t realise there was a project for this! Hope there are some boards in soon! Great looking build, your wiring is super clean!

Great builds, digging the Mars one especially!

Hullo everyone, Latest addition is an OCD v3. Had this on my to-do list for a while as have always thought they sound great. It seems to be great friends with my Twin Reverb! Nothing crazy, just good old fashioned grit! Hope you’re all staying well out there! Time for a beer!

Thanks! Thought this one was worth doing a demo for as not many about, particularly DIY versions. Definitely give the etching a go, can take a few go's to get it right but really satisfying when it comes out good! The sparkle was this stuff (link): Montana Hologram Glitter Spray Just got to...

Ah thanks, that makes sense now! I thought it was behaving in a similar way at certain points. There seems to be a few version of the v1 Fuzz War with quite wide variation in terms of caps used throughout so tbh I don’t even know if mine is accurate to the original but I like what this one is doing!

Nice work! Been curious about this one, I’m such a sucker for anything doom! ?

Great build, this thread is gold! This circuit was one of the first fuzzes I built and I’ve always loved it, really intrigued to revisit it with the mods outlined above, they sound great!

Thanks! Originally I just chucked a random set of 2N5088s in, it worked but just seemed like there was too much gain going on and was getting a bit gated. After measuring them I saw I had a mix between 350 - 480 hFE. With the amount of transistors being used it seemed to make sense to go for low...
