EL Buckler

[Fuzzonaut]

The Effects Layout Buckler is his take on a silicon Tonebender style Fuzz. I grabbed this PCB just because, while I was there shopping for something else.
It's nothing fancy or extraordinary, just a very nice fuzz.

Has the "stock" 5x 2N3904 in it (sockets) and sounds like this with them.

Nice etch and nice sound sample. Excellent build report

Excellent, as always.

You kept the 2N3904, but did you deviate in other ways such as more bass-response in the caps?

Thanks.

And as for the caps: I left the input cap at 1uF and upped C2, C7 and C8 (the greenies) to 220nF (from the suggested 100nF), if I remember correctly.

Many thanks!
