Fuzz Face

This is the Fuzz Face, the legendary fuzz distortion pedal. With this PCB you can build the original or many other variants using either Germanium or Silicon transistors.

This was one of my first pedals I built, but robbed it of parts at one time. Now I'm putting it back together.

My question is how do I wire this using a PCB 3PDT breakout board and I'm using Ge (PNP). Minus the battery.

For ground(earth) I'm going solder all ground to a washer of the input jack.. The LED I was thinking just putting it on SW and GND on the Switch lugs that protrude through the breakout board.

anyone?

If you're using the standard breakout board you wire it with the input jack to the left, output jack to the right. The IN pad to the FF input and the OUT pad to the FF output so straight forward there. The tricky part is the LED. Wire the resistor to the long leg of the LED and then to 9v as shown in the Tayda doc. Run a wire from the SW pad to the short LED leg. And finally run a wire from GND to the ground point of your build.

Thanks.

I'm probably going to just try NPN..
