Parentheses Mini Fuzz build docs?

[silentrecords]

just curious as to when we can expect the build docs for the mini Parenthesis Fuzz
a drill template for the mini would be nice
anyone happen to make one? if so, link?
sorry if this has already been discussed

 

[DGWVI]

You can use the knob/ switch template for the Kaleidoscope, and any of the dual footswitch 125b layouts for the footswitches, like the paragon mini

 

[silentrecords]

ah good to know - thanks!

 

[silentrecords]

anyone have a gut shot of the Parenthesis Mini Fuzz build?
there are two LED's on the lower part of the board ...wondering if people soldered them to the pcb or just mounted them to the 125B and wired them to the pcb...?

 

[Nostradoomus]

You can do either, they are clipping diodes but they do light up when you play. If you want a light show mount them through the enclosure

 

[silentrecords]

not sure they are clipping diodes - as per the Parentheses Fuzz (larger board) they are on the schematic as on/off indicators for the octave, boost and distortion footswitches - the only LED used in circuit for distortion is used in the asymmetrical clipping section with 2 - 4148's

 

[Nostradoomus]

Oh whoops my bad, yeah those are just on off indicators

 

[silentrecords]

LOL no worries! thanks

also, the four holes on the bottom left and right side of the pcb...can you tell me where each goes to?
it's not indicated on the build docs
is it (component side up):
o o o o
in gnd sw out

 

[Nostradoomus]

Yep you got it, it conforms to the 3PDT breakout board

 

[silentrecords]

thanks again!

 

[Nostradoomus]

No worries! I’ve been building a bunch of Turbo Rats lately so I had led clipping on my mind haha

 

[silentrecords]

I built a RAT clone a few years ago and added a 2p12t switch:
config in ProCo Rat2

• BAT41 / BAT41
• BAT41 / 1N60 (Schottky)
• BAT46 + BAT46 / BAT46 + BAT46
• 1N34A + 1N34A / BAT46 + BAT46*
• 1N60 (Schottky) / 1N60 (Schottky)
• 1N4148 / 1N4148
• 1N4148 / Green LED
• 1N34A + 1N34A / Green LED
• Red LED / Red LED
• Green LED / Green LED
• 1N34A + Green LED / Open
• Bat46 + 1N4742

What, no MOSFETs?

 

[silentrecords]

What, no MOSFETs?

yeah I've been meaning to test out some - but I have so many partial builds to finish 1st :\

 

[Fuzzonaut]

I'm not sure, but can I use the parts list of the build docs for the big one to populate the PCB of the Mini?
Thanks.

 

[Robert]

Yes. I'm going to try to put focus back on build docs over the next couple days.

 

[silentrecords]

I'm not sure, but can I use the parts list of the build docs for the big one to populate the PCB of the Mini?
Thanks.

all the part values are marked on the pcb itself - but the circuit/parts should be the same except for the octave on/off footswitch
also note that if you are using Russian Ge diodes in the circuit that they are marked such that the anode is the stripe not the cathode

 

[Fuzzonaut]

Yes. I'm going to try to put focus back on build docs over the next couple days.

Cool!

thanks for this!
