I fall in and out of love with the Fuzz Face as often as I change my socks! I’ve got some Russian GE transistors to try at some point, but here’s my low gain Silicon version.

Thanks, I went for 100pf too, and I'll try the 100r mod, I've seen that occasionally on other builds, but had no idea what it's purpose was, but if it's to reduce noise that's great, not that I find it to have a high noise floor as is. It's my favourite fuzz so far.

Blimey that looks great! I've built my own clone, but there was one component value that has remained a mystery to me, C6 on the schematic: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/mythos-golden-fleece-fuzz.4202/post-57761 What value did you uses and what were your mods?

Just because it’s not green doesn’t make not a tube screamer, it’s got three knobs a switch and an LED, so in my book it's got to be a tube screamer... it even has a bit of a mid hump, or is it transparent? I'm sure I read on the internet that it’s just a type of tubescreamer under the goop ;)

It started with an article in Tone Quest about a chap called Eric, probably about 15 to18 years ago. Then came the weeks of research, schematics found and checked, mod ideas carefully filed away for future exploration. The component lists were made and the research into the various suppliers was...

My main amp is a Yamaha THR10C, the connivence of good tone at low volumes or headphones along with the ability to mix in backing tracks or Truefire courses makes for a happy home life. My pedals sound better through my valve amp, but not bad through the THR. I am however favouring ‘preamp’...

Art work design inspiration was a bit lacking on this one, and it’s an unadulterated variant of the 808. Home designed and etched board.

Just a quick update,: The two original volume pots were 471k and 439k I don’t know which was the neck and which was the bridge. With the new 552k pot for the neck pickup has brought more high end clarity to the tone, which was exactly what I was hoping for.

They are supposed to be 550K so all but one are below what they were aiming for! But within the +/-10% The only issue is that the CTS Epiphone pots are the 18 spline version where as the new ones are have 24 splines like all USA CTS pots, so I’ve just had to order some knobs too!

The pots have arrived, all were over 500k, which is what I wanted: 511k 536k 537k 552k

I went for Bare Knuckle Custom 550K CTS pots with the "J" taper, hopefully they'll arrive in a day or two and I'll report back on the true values. https://www.bareknucklepickups.co.uk/shop/product/bare-knuckle-cts-550k-potentiometer-long-shaft-1#variant-255 DW Music also do 550k pots, just not...

When did Epiphone start putting maple caps on their Les Pauls? Was it with the introduction of the ‘inspired by Gibson’ range? It was the maple cap and people taking favourable about the pickups that made me weaken last year. I ordered the new pots today, I’m hoping the 550k pots will be at...

Mines a burst, but I was hoping for a gold top, but they were hard to find and I was looking for one below 9lb. You talk about GAS, I'd like an Epiphone Les Paul 50's gold top with P90's - only they don't make it so I'm safe.

I’ve got the 50’s Les Paul Standard, in fact it’s coming up to it’s one year birthday. It has the Indian Laurel fingerboard and was darker then I expected and has darkened more over the last year, in part from a few applications of lemon oil and I suspect the natural oils in my skin. I have...

Thanks vigilante398, that is exactly what I am looking for, I’ll start gathering the parts.

I’ve become a bit fixated on the idea of a tube OD/preamp pedal build, the ‘Son of Ben’ is my current OD of choice and having built and tweaked my own SE valve (sorry I’m British) amp, I’d like to tinker again! What I’d like to find is a schematic or PCB for a universal power supply to do the...

But it's got an 8 hole scratch plate, it can't possibly be a real tele ;)

You beat me to it by seconds!

This looks wrong to me... But that's not to say it is wrong.

Great, I didn't know there was a schematic to look at :)
