Carbon Black Fuzz

[niketplos]

Really like how this one sounds but I like most TB style pedals lol. Sadly didn't have a 22k CC resistor. The 2n3903s sound great in there too which is good since I ran out of sockets to sub some others in. Also these matte black enclosures with the sand texture from Tayda are awesome.

Looks awesome! I really dig the minimalist look. What did you use for the labels?

Thanks! Rubber stamps and a paint marker.

I really like the "vtf", even if it does sound a like a German version of WTF. I agree about the black sand texture enclosures - I love 'em. Very clean, very good.

WOW!!!! That is beautiful! The minimal clean look works so well on this. I also like the use of carbon composition resistors! I can respect building a circuit as close to the original as you can get. Where did you find a 46K carbon resistor?

I couldn't find the 46k but had a 47k that read 46k

Man, you read my thoughts. I was looking at this and putting a parts list together with carbon comp 1/2w resistors and couldn't find a 46K resistor. Figured I would order a few extra of them and measure, then take one closest to 46K.

btw use 1/4w resistors, 1/2w would be way too big for this board

Gotcha, the original says 1/2 W carbon comp, so was going with that, will change to 1/4 W. I'm glad I hadn't order them yet, I was checking to see what else I needed! Thanks for the heads up!

Where do you folks get those resistors, if I may ask?

I know Mouser has them, and I assume any of the big distributors like them would have them.

Looks great, nice build.

Looks great!!!
The build docs is not yet available. What's the value of the pots?
Thanks!
