(vero) KMA Fuzzly Bear

[Ale_jellybelly]

My first vero build is a slightly modded KMA Fuzzly Bear.
I used a 250kA pot for the Sag control (idea stolen from @bean Fuzzy Britches) giving the pedal many more sounds, from super fuzzy, through a very prominent octave down, to gated-almost-non-working. I love it!
I had to use some parallel capacitors since I didn't have the values so it's not the prettiest build; I cleaned up the 3pdt wiring since taking the picture.
It's a vintage sounding fuzz (based on the Jordan Boss Tone) so I called it BMD: Back in My Day
As you can see, my inkjet waterslide has black ink smearing into red, again. I think it's my acrylic spray fault.

Looks good! Do you think you'll do vero again?

Yeah definitely! Not for complicated stuff but it's great for throwing together a circuit you want to try out

Have you tried perf?

Have you tried perf?

My first DIY attempts were with perf, I still have a little one knob fuzz I built following Effectslayout page, then a Speaker Cranker and a Fuzz factory which is a mess of spaghetti wiring

May I ask: Which do you prefer, vero or perf, and why?

 

[Ale_jellybelly]

Well, it depends... Vero is easier to build, no need to create all of the tracks. On the other hand, with perf it's easier to follow the schematic and check correspondence in the layout
