Bazz Fuss

Drawing some inspiration from @comradehoser, I got a wild hair to try my hand at a point-to-point fuzz.

I'm chalking this up to a learning experience as I'm not really satisfied with the result.

First, the circuit looked substantially better before I had to rework the pots after spacing out and wiring them backwards (clockwise was cutting).

Second, the "art" came out way more zebra than psychedelic. I probably should have seen that coming.

Third, the clear coat I used didn't like isopropanol I used to try to remove flux.

Live and learn.

Oh, yeah... I also learned that I won't be using the oxblood 3PDT footswitches from Love My Switches in the future. I took a flyer on them because I dig oxblood, but I was getting floppy terminals at the same temperature I always solder footswitches. Maybe it was from a bad batch.

I had this very experience years ago. I stopped buying them due to the weak potting on the oxblood BLMS.

We’re all our own harshest critics, but dang that looks great to me.

Looks good from here! This circuit seems like an excellent candidate for a first PTP attempt. That 60° ground wire tickles my brain just right.

 

[comradehoser]

Hell yeah. Ain't nothing wrong with that there PTP dude. As long as everything sounds good, it's all good. I have no notes for you. You used spatiality, solder was judicious. I even like the enclosure decor.

Actually, -1 point for side jacks. That's it!

It's like paraffin.

Yeah, they're not usually my first choice, though I'm far more tolerant of them in a 1590B than a 125B.

I got the idea in my head for that straight line from switch to jack tip and then wanted to see what it would look like.

 

[jcpst]

Lots of great choices on that P2P

That to me is what makes up for having side jacks

Navel Stench reminds me of my coworkers

Oh yeah, now get out your bazz and fuss some stuff up.

My uncle always used the word persnickety to describe this kind of attention to detail..

Thanks for saying so. I have some real-life mild OCD, and a lot of what I see in it is killing me. But it's cool to hear at least the effort paid off.

Ohhhh did not realize. That's approved, then.

I like side jacks personally.

 

[Feral Feline]

Genuine curiosity, @tolstokes: why do you like side-jacks?




Apologies to genXslacker for the threadjack...

 

[andare]

I didn't need to know the concept of navel stench and now I do. Enough internet for today and it's only 8:22...

But great build!

Fair question, as the way he sets up his board, top jacks would be much more convenient. It'd even allow him to move a pedal to the first row.

Also, kinda dissapointed this wasn't a dba ss war build, because at some point I want to know if it really is just a cap and a blend away from the regular thing.

Then again, always cool to see a point to point build! So any dissapointment undone!
