Acoustic 360 Bass Fuzz build project anyone?

[1976fenderhead]

Below you can see the schematics of the Acoustic 360 amp including its fuzz circuit.

Would any of the pedal builders out there be interested in making me a pedal with the fuzz circuit alone working on standard 9v? Something with Gain, Volume, Blend and some kind of Tone control?

I guess you're after something like this



[url="http://www.viva-analog.com/"]Viva Analog [/url] supply the PCB & build instructions fo $55 & the pedal for $285

Here's a link to a better schematic for the fuzz [url="http://freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=7964&hilit=acoustic+360"]Freestompboxes Forum - Acoustic 360 Fuzz[/url]
Shouldn't be a particularly difficult build for anyone who does pedals.

Yup, $285, (£180), absurd.

Thanks a lot for the link, what controls are in it, is it only bass and attack?

Yep, just the gain & attack.
Does seem high, but there again compare that to a ZVex Woolly Mammoth, & I guess the guy who builds them has got to make a living too.

looks great, should be a simple build only problem is sourcing the original trannys, you could always go with modern ones but it may not nail the original sound

There's a guy on Ebay selling ready made PCBs

I don't like to derail but I will anyway

How easy is it going to be to attach everything else to this such as pots, jacks etc?

Sounds like a good idea for someone like me who's confident soldering pots but with no experience of PCBs and 10 thumbs
