I’ve been wanting to build this one for a while. It’s one of the few circuits I have made on a breadboard, and I had a lot of fun with it.
I decided I didn’t need a 2nd stomp to bypass the octave. I’m not using this for just the fuzz, although the fuzz ain’t half bad. I used an on/off/on toggle in case I wanted to remove the octave without changing it’s output level.
Typical neck bridge, tone rolled down and I had some pretty accurate monophonic tracking.
Overall, super simple build. I did make things harder for myself with my pot and jack alignment. I had to put both the pots and jacks in partially, use pliers on the jacks tips and force the pots past them. Next time, I’ll make sure there’s a bit more clearance.
I don’t think this does anything that I can’t get out of circuits like the Underminer or Insurgent Octave. But hey, it’s not bad and I like that TOAN washer!
