I had this PCB soldered up for weeks (maybe months) now. I went to finish it up last weekend, and discovered I had all the offboard wiring done except for soldering the switch wires to my relay bypass board! I forgot I had almost finished!
Anyway: I've built countless overdrives, but never a fuzz! Unless you count the Big Muff as a fuzz, or something like the Colorsound Overdriver/Power Boost. Either way, I figured I needed to experience the class Fuzz Face (or at least a version of it).
Thus, here is my Sandspur build. A very straightforward build on a classic circuit which needs no introduction.
I used @MichaelW's wonderful 1590b top mounted jacks instructions. This is my first time doing this, and I think it turned out alright! I even managed to cram in my microcontroller-based relay bypass.
It worked on first power up! I spent a little time playing with it, but really only enough to verify that it works. Time is in short supply these days, I'm trying to wrap up my big build backlog.
