    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    I built the body myself actually! I used a template that had the vibrato route location but I'm not sure if it's standard or not, could be a little closer.

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    Hey there it's a Tuffset bridge; it's an expensive part, but really well made/designed. It retains the rocking function of the original offset bridges, has adjustable individual string height, everything locks down tight so there's no rattling etc, sounds good, and most importantly it stays in...

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    Oh yes sorry, I was originally going to do a Copper Clad but decided on a one-knob (volume only) Fuzz Face

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    I got the pickguard on and all strung up and the fuzz sounds really great! Thanks guys for all the help! 🤘 The hiss is still pretty loud, so next time that I order components I will get some non-electrolytic caps to try and replace C1 and C3 But overall I'm stoked!

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    This is the layout that I used from Amplified Parts. The trim pot is in place of the 8.2k resistor that connects with the Q2 collector. Yeah I guess I'll not worry about it (y)

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    Unfortunately I don't have any close non-electrolytic caps to play with, I could orders some though

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    So last night after I put the pickguard back on I realized that I had not removed the direct ground wire to the circuit, so the circuit was getting power all the time and that's why there was so little pop. This morning I opened her up and removed that ground wire (so relying on the switched...

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    I followed this diagram and it's working with minimal pop! Thanks so much!

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    I'm getting -1.3mV across R5, zero on the volume pot pulldown

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    I do have a multimeter, I should be able to check that tonight or tomorrow

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    So I have a 1n cap, where exactly would I be putting it? From the signal input on the effect board to ground?

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    That sounds like a good idea, it does have a lot of hiss

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    So I tried it with a 1M resistor on the pot between the middle (output) and ground, and it's still popping. Was this not the right place to put it? Does it need to go on the switch to ground

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    So here's the schematic I'm working with It looks like there is already a resistor on the input that may be functioning as a pulldown? (R5, 1M) so I should be good there, right? So it would make sense to put a pulldown resistor on the output, and the place to do that would be between the...

    Installing a fuzz in a jazzmaster

    Got it wired up correctly with the schematic and it all seems to be working! The switch shuts off voltage to the fuzz. Slight problem/annoyance though; I get a pretty loud "pop" when switching the fuzz on or off. Is this to be expected? Any way to reduce it? Thanks

    Extended Range, Alternate Tunings- what are you using?

    I haven't played around much with alternate tunings, but I do really enjoy my B-standard baritone
