COMPLETE Danelectro Nichols 66 Fuzz/Overdrive

[VanWhy]

It's not just another fuzz! Nothing revolutionary but seems like you can get some really cool dirt tones from it. This video sold it for me.

"The Nichols 1966 houses a unique three-transistor circuit, arming you with a distinctive "glass-shattering" sound that falls somewhere between a fuzz and a distortion, and that's highly reactive to your guitar's volume knob."

And another demo

The story alone sold me, but the demo cinched it.



Also, I want to find what factory Danelectro is having the knobs made at and get a few dozen sets.

I hate those knobs and want to cut them in half with a band saw…

Well alrighty then.

Lay back and tell us about your childhood...










If you were to get any, I'd gladly trade you some other type of knobs for the Dano-arrows.

Bumping this one because if this was going for half the price it is I would have bought one already

PCBs are on my bench, just waiting on parts from Tayda.

My name suggestion: 5 Cent Fuzz

 

[Feral Feline]

Further to finebyfine's idea, you could stack nickels brazed together and then machine the stack to make knobs,
or go the easy route and get peccary to machine some knobs with a flat top...

Either way, the stacked-nickels or the machined-knurled knobs would be topped with nickels from 1966, of course!



With 4 knobs, that'd be a 20¢ Fuzz

FYP

Bonus point if you know what car he's driving;
double-bonus if you can specify what year it is!

 

[gonzo]

Econoline I would assume. No clue on the year.

Edit* I was distracted and pushed report by accent. Disregard Robert. Sorry
