FUZZIMILE

One of the best fuzz circuits ever to be devised, courtesy of Spaceman Effects (who else?). This is a clone board of the Gemini III Dual Fuzz...

Understandable if you want a pedalpcb layout (aka smaller :D )
 
Seems to be the overall consensus on DEFX boards. I love big spacious boards but I seem to be in the minority! Also I can put way cooler artwork on a bigger canvas :D
 
I have built a few DEFX boards and have some that I still haven't built. They are all nice, but very big!
 
A good chunk of Spaceman boards are taken up by switching and rf filtering, both of which are overkill imo. They could be simplified quite a bit.
 
Hmm, if you took all of the controls off board you might stand a chance of fitting it to a 125b but you have 6 pots and two dpdt switches so it'll be a job.
Our Spaceman PCBs are no bigger than the originals. Granted there are a few others that could be smaller.

I've gotten four pots, three toggles, and two rotaries in a 125B, so nothing is impossible.... but yes, it'd be a heck of a challenge. :ROFLMAO:

I actually like larger format pedals, I'm not hell-bent on cramming everything into a package smaller than necessary unless it makes sense.... I really have no love for 1590A, not just from a builder perspective... they just aren't my thing.

I have an upcoming project that is much larger than it needs to be (by design), but it's all about aesthetics in this case.

I hear ya, it's why we've taken to stacking boards. The synthi would have been huge otherwise, as would the infinity phase. I guess you could use smd parts but then you'd put a bunch of folk off.
I'm just embarking on a eurorack modular synth project, I hate soldering smd by hand ?
