FUZZZ!

What a nice easy build! Low parts count, nothing tricky, sounds good, what more do you need?

I spent this afternoon failing to track down a gremlin in my recording setup and then needed a win, so I grabbed this. I think this was the first pedal I ever built start to finish in a single sitting (not counting the enclosure). That did the trick.

I’m not usually into chicken-head knobs, but I kinda like these blocky ones. They came from the estate of a tv repair guy where I bought some stuff last year. Still got some nice vintage dirt on em. The 2n4401 transistors came from the same guy.

Exquisite!


Completely agree on chickenheads, and these knobs. They're lovely.


I need an estate-sale like that.

I only had two in that style so I was pretty pleased to find a two-knobber they worked on.

This setting sounds and looks cool.

LVE IT!

I meant to comment before: the flat-green works with those knobs with their ever-so-slight bit of wear.
The vintage vibe is extremely strong without any overblown faux-relicing.


I've got some old'ns, too, in twos and a few threes — or in one case I could build two 2-knobbers or a single four-knobberthat — all are waiting for the right pedal/circuit to come along.

Very pleased for you that you found the right circuit for these two.
