Hello again PedalPCB Forum members!
A friend has asked me to build him something SIMILAR to the Danelectro "Eisenhower Fuzz" which, based on my internet browsing, appears to be a Univox "Super Fuzz" (or PedalPCB "Uberfuzz") with additional controls for "Bass" and "Treble".
I've looked into a few options for the tone controls and I'm thinking of using "The New AMZ Tone Control" based on the Big Muff Tone Stack. I don't think it's a 1:1 replacement for the Eisenhower's "Bass+Treble" but it should give my friend a little more tone control than just using the stock 2 position "Tone" switch (which I will also leave on the build). At this point my only real concern is whether I can sandwich the 2 additional potentiometers (Tone+Body) between the board and the enclosure along with the additional tone circuit which I should be able to build directly on the 2 pots.
Obviously my preference is to go with the PedalPCB board but I've noticed that the "Uberfuzz" doesn't include the bias trimmer attached to the R19 and R20 resistors around Q4 and Q5 that all the other "Super Fuzz" circuit offering seem to have. Does anyone know if there is a reason for this? If it's useful, would it be very difficult to squeeze the trimmer into the "Uberfuzz" circuit and the enclosure?
Any other thoughts on my plans for this build?
Thanks!
