To my ears this fuzz circuit is less harmonic and maybe more what I expect from fuzz. Not staccato clipping, more uneven. The circuit produces lower frequencies well and the lustre potentiometer does not really get all the way to the treble promised land. You can roll gain to zero and you have...

Agreed. I just checked the description for this one and it said "intermediate" for builder experience.

This is a $65 Amplified Parts kit called Phase Off. My conclusion is that it is a very nice kit and the circuit sounds absolutely amazing. Gentle swirls and deep oscilation...and you can even get parked wah sounds. I think it is one of the most useful phasers that I have tried. The kit was...

lol! I have built a few in smaller boxes. They are growing on me. Just not this one.

Darn and I just hit the order button before reading your report. I will get one next order.

I am afraid of doing a demo. But it is like that, sag!

Makes sense. I did not research it first so after I plugged it in and raised my eyebrows in surprise, I checked user uploaded videos and yup... it is that wild.

If you want your signal fractured and untamed like a screaming banshee this is your pedal. Belching and sagging when set at normal levels. When you turn up feedback all the way it is a completely unusable shrieking. If you crank the gain all the way, again, unusable. It is not a difficult build...

I dig the look

Thanks much!

Same for you! See my above comment as it applies.

Seven months ago already... this was great advice. I threw away boards before this advice because they were like a physical reminder that I failed. But I began saving them after your comment. This morning I saved the Fudge Round discussed above. And over the past months I saved two other boards...

Sounds impressively fuzzy. It gets harmonic too. Thanks for the demo and report.

This was the 23rd pedal I built and I decided to redo the labels. Initially I had used a decal printed on a thermal ink printer. I decided to unbox this pedal and start over with the labels and graphics. I used a color waterslide decal and coated it in Spraymax 2k glamour The pedal sounds great...

What is this, a BB with headroom? This circuit can dial up crunchy overdrive but it does not get classic distortion; it gets overdrive distortion. It really feels like I am taxing my tube amp when I start dialing up sound. If I dime the gain it does not get all the way to distortion, just...

Good suggestion for the next one I or someone else builds

Good to know! Thanks much. I am with you in that I like to find unity much lower on the sweep.

I may have assembled a bunch of PCBs but I think I am right there with you both. I love that we are on this journey.

I like that you spend time on proper graphics.

Good idea. I have to say, I was a bit down on the circuit until I paired it with my Super Reverb.
