Fuzz Aldrin in a Horizontal 1590B

I wanted to do a Zvex style pedal and the Fuzz Aldrin board happens to fit with a little massaging. I don't have any pics of the circuit board but I mounted the top three pots on top with the transistors in the pocket underneath the pins. Then I had to put some of the components underneath the board.

I put the board off to one side with the Range and one of the EQ controls off board. The pots' leads are close to the enclosure so I use a piece of tape to prevent them from shorting

The audio and power jacks installed. I tried to keep the wiring nice and neat.

And it's all in, including the footswitch. I love the footswitch boards, they make it so easy

And here's the top. For the finish I used pink and black acrylic with a water based poly urethane clear coat.

You can see the jack array here. It's a bit tight but it fits.

The pedal sounds great! It's my favorite lead tone. Works with both my Strat and SG.

Looks great!

Jewel-light is perfect for this build and colours.

I'll have to try to replicate that style of finish.

I also love that while being a Zvex-style horizontal layout, it's still TOP-JACKS! 😸
