Bayonet Fuzz and Antithesis Fuzz!

Synchrony Pedalworks

Well-known member
I thought I would share these two pedals. @Guardians of the analog was gracious and helped me engineer a photo box and @Guilherme Collateral inspired the backgrounds. Many thanks!

Both were easy builds. The Bayonet Fuzz does the Big Muff thing, but can be tweaked to perfection. The Antithesis fuzz does a great, raunchy fuzz.

The Bayonet Fuzz has a picture of my son screaming after the US women beat the French team during the last World Cup. It was a great game, and the picture played perfectly for a LOUD pedal!

For the Antithesis Fuzz, I auditioned several diodes and transistors. I only auditioned by ear and not stats like hFe, etc. I landed on a Ge 2n404a and Ge 1n270.

Feel free to pass along some constructive criticism! Thanks.

these look amazing my friend!...i'm working on the bayonet now myself...i do think you've got some labels reversed though...the presence and focus...and the volume and sustain are labeled on the "wrong" side it looks like....the mids and tone labels look right according to the layout
 
I was ready to say how much I liked that scream graphic before I read the context, but now I like it even more. Big US Women’s soccer fans here.

The font is great on that one too.
