Wooly Mammoth?

[Jimmyjams]

Howdy! Did a forum search and couldn’t really find an answer or a PCB on here or elsewhere for the Wooly Mammoth.

I found one on AnalogClassics but never ordered from them. And then guitarpcb had one but based on their description it’s tweaked for better guitar response.

Is there one on the PedalPCB site? I saw some Zvex are labeled on there and others aren’t so I went through all the fuzz and still nothing.

I don’t think there is one.
FuzzDog has the fat furry freak

There isn't currently, but I don't know how I've let this one slip for so long...

ZVEX Woolly Mammoth 7

Digging the heavy: I can only find schematics for the the 4 knob version, but for what it's worth here they are: http://effectslayouts.blogspot.com/2015/04/zvex-woolly-mammoth.html http://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2011/02/zvex-woolly-mammoth-vero.html This guy did a clone, but I couldn't...

Three years ain't bad, right?

I'm on it.

4-knob version here:

Penumbra Bass Fuzz / ZVEX Woolly Mammoth

Based on the Zvex Woolly Mammoth, a full-frequency silicon fuzz, originally designed for bass but just as suited for guitar.

aionfx.com

Built one myself a year ago. Turned out pretty good. Bit noisy though.

While you’re at it perhaps give it additional pads to make it so it can be made into a mastotron as well—from what I’ve seen, it’s just a 100k pot giving series resistance on the input for the push control, and a spdt on the output, just before the master volume but after EQ pot to swap in three output cap values. Both could be bypassed for a regular mammoth build with just a single jumper, and the only other differences are a few cap values and 2n2222s for the mastotron transistors instead of the 2n3904s typical of the mammoth

Aion just released one with mastotron options. Those are pretty easy to build on vero if you’ve got any.

If you're in a hurry grab one from one of the other sources.

If you're not in a hurry I'll have a PCB in the next restock.

I'll just do two PCBs, it'll be less confusing.

amazing! I will try and wait patiently.

It's funny that I get excited when I hear either PedalPCB (Robert) or Madbean is doing a new PCB, because I trust they'll do it correctly (even though I already have a Wooly Mammoth.)

BTW JimmyJams, I have extra home-etched Wooly Mammoth PCBs from the Madbean layout if you want one. They work and sound great. I've built 2.
