Maestro FZ-1...

[Coda]

I’m looking to build a Maestro FZ-1. No PCB here, so what are my options? A bit of digging turned up nothing. The Catalinbread Merkin Fuzz comes close, but that is based on a Fuzz-Rite, one of which I just finished a few weeks ago.

Is there anything out there, pcb-wise, for an FZ-1?...

I put this together this morning...

How does it sound?...

Well, the sine wave sounds groovy...still tinkering...I tightened it up a bit.

One last cleanup, ready for perf...

Noisy on the BB, but more fuzzy than fizzy! Fun build. I'll find something cool to stuff it in.

Looks like a 14X6 board.

Edit: After a closer look at the transistor gains...they were a bit different than what I thought...bought...but not out of the ballpark, so I made a command decision to replace 3 of the resistors with trimmers to compensate for the difference, as well as any future drift.

btw, coda...bet you didn't expect an answer like this

May as well finish it here...I'll work in the trimmers tomorrow and get it welded to the strip board.
