I really like this fuzz. I have been using it in place of where I normally have a BMP. I’m still messing around with the controls on it a bit but the body control makes a pretty big difference on the sound taking it from relatively tame to heavy.

The artwork on this is my son. His name rhymes with Aldrin. It’s based on a photo I took of him when we toured the USS hornet and he stuck his head through a hole in the ship.

The print on this didn’t come out as well as I had hoped and the case is kind of an in between design. I printed this one around Christmas and am just finishing it now. It has one metal knob as I accidentally ordered a 1/4 shaft pot and didn’t feel like designing a knob to fit it but I probably will at some point.

This is one of my favorites. What transistors did you use?

Well played, that’s a great build! Plus I laugh every time I see “Fuzz” Aldrin.

I can understand why it’s one of your favorites it’s a surprisingly good sounding pedal.

I used BC549c. If I recall it’s the plastic cased equivalent of the BC109C.

I like your interior shielding. How sturdy is the box?

Thank you. I could probably stand on the switch with my full weight but haven’t tried. I have made around 30 and haven’t had an issues with any breaking but they could be printed thicker or reinforced if it were an issue.
