Repro Fuzz (Supro Fuzz) Done!

[johnk_10]

I just completed the Repro Fuzz PCB and tested it. I first tried it with the specified Germanium 241304 (152hfe) transistor but wsan't happy with sound of the fuzz after comparing it to an original Supro Fuzz which i already own. I replaced the transistor with a 2N1308 (392 hfe) and it now sounds exactly like the original. Just thought that I'd post this is if anyone else plans to build one. Pic of it in the enclosure coming soon.

Side by side with my original one:

I replaced the knobs with Rogan knobs to make it closer to the original:

You spent a pretty penny on those knobs but they look great. How do you like this fuzz compared to your basic FF and TB’s? Does it clean up with the volume knob?

yeah, they were expensive (but worth it). i'll have to check if it cleans up with the volume knob.
