Does anybody have a stripboard layout for the basic FF circuit? I'm a bit of a noob when it comes to these things.

Sorry, posted this to wrong are before, should be here. HI all. Maybe someone can advise me on this. I've build a Fuzz Face clone but it had big hum with my normal power supply so I've put 470uf cap and 470k resistor on the power supply input. Hum is gone and I only get 0.5V Voltage drop so that don't bother...

I built one of these on stripboard from the circuit in the schematics. 4 caps, 4 resistors and 2 transistors. Everyone who has heard it can't believe the sustain on this unit and the extreme fuzz available from such a small board. The sustain rivals my Big Muff Pi! I used 2n2 caps in place of the 2n and 47n i...

I'm right now building the Tremulus Lune, but I'm having some trouble getting the wiring correct for the 3PDT Stomp Switch from DIY Stompboxes. I look at the schematic for the NPN wiring of the switch, is that the one to use? 'Cause when I compare it to the picture of the Tremulus guts in the project pag...

Hello everything well? I set up a pedal of Ibanez OD855 Overdrive , I set up and I revised all the connections and pieces. Didn't the pedal work, did anybody already set up this pedal? Help Please!!!! -- Edited by andregarcia57 at 05:46, 2005-02...

I've been trying to build the 4ms Tremulus Lune and have built the circuit twice now, but it never works. First I used a quad op-amp, then I tried using 741's so I could see exactly what's going on. That didn't work either, so I've set it up on bread board and the same problem happens! The LED lights, but doe...

I was thinking why my Big Muff Pi is much, much noisier than my Sola Tone Bender MKII pro clone. They have 3 stages, but the transistors of the BMP have a gain of 500, and the ones of the TB a gain of 100. I have some BD139 I bought to build the Axis Fuzz. As I posted earlier, I really like this transistors beca...

So my MKII Pro seems to be quite incompatible with my Dunlop Crybaby Classic (w/fasel). When my guitar is at full volume, I can play through my tonebender without a problem. However, when I put the switched-on wah in front of it, and play with my guitar volume at 10, the tonebender cuts out nearly instan...

Hi Phillip, nice website. I've got a few questions about the value of the volume pot in the FuzzFace circuit. Phillip, I did notice that you happen to use a 100k pot in your Fuzz instead of the stock 500k, so you're a great guy to shed some insight into this matter. I've read that Eric Johnson al...

I have a bunch weird metal- can sili- transistors. The type is: "T 2302D RCA" and on the center on the top- side of the can it reads: "HM 8419". Have anybody some information of this trannie??? I have them about 50-75 pcs, and when I test them with a DMM, the meter shows gains about 1-2. Strange ones....

I'm working now on a pedal called Blackfire "Overdrive". Many people, who had built it, say that the pedal isn' t an overdriving system, it' s more like metal fuzz. That fired my interest to build this pedal. I built Joe's Easy Drive a while ago, and it was incredible, how much you can get fuzz from only on...

When wiring the DC jack of a positive ground pedal, can I reverse the wires at the DC jack so I can use a negative tip power supply?

Matlock · Matlock

I´ve been testing some AC 128's and the methods (R.G Keens tester, Steve Daniels tester) doesn't work at all. When I hit the base with the lead the voltage in Keen's tester doesn't change. Steve's tester doesn't show the "forward base bias". Although it shows the leakage. So, has anyone better test...

HI, A while ago, I built an MKII professional using the pcb layout and schematic on Fuzz Central. It sounds great, but it's hissy as hell. I changed out all the transistors, and mounted everything (except the caps, leads were too thick) into sockets. The voltages are about 9, 0.7, and 4.5 on the colle...

I've been playing with the fuzz face bias resistors and found out that under certain conditions both base currents can be identical. At this point the fuzz is a litlle, little better... well, at least for my taste. Refer to http://www.geocities.com/guitarfxs for a mathematical analysis of the b...
