This came together quick. Sometimes it’s nice to have something simple to build with readily available parts. I used my budget materials on this. Raw enclosure, and pulled parts out of the scrap box.

I really like this fuzz. It can get really saturated, and it can also behave kind of like a distortion. I was able to get palm mutes more percussive than I was expecting for a fuzz. Cleans up really well too.

I recommend it.

Agreed, great sounding fuzz / distortion, lots of character.

Agreed... One of these stays on my gigging board

Probably my favourite fuzz. And I like the font you chose for the graphics. Hey - my pedals are even more minimal but this is one pedal where it's handy to have at least the knobs labelled!

I've been using Tayda's matt clear finished enclosures and they look really good. Still have the raw aesthetic but kinda a more "finished raw".

yeah, nice sounding circuit, but im ended with tone from fuzzdog pitbull. I think i need build scarab original spec again to remember difference.

I did get that once- I like it too. But I think I will snazzy up this box a bit. I decided to use more DC “outie” jacks for my cold-weather builds, so that I can quickly pop out the circuit and refinish the enclosure without desoldering when it warms up again.

I did not know about this one. I’m intrigued!

The Pitbull and Scarab Deluxe are very similar. I used to prefer the Pitbull but the last Scarab Deluxe I built worked out really well. They're both excellent.
