I can has bass fuzz?

[Buzz]

Oooh, that's different, having no external knobs. And it's shiny ooooooooh.

Hmm, what happens if you need a little tweak when you're on stage though due to the environment?

And I take it (without looking at the pedal circuit/specs) the switches at the top are fuzz modes (change between silicon and germanium diodes) ? and something else?

Thanks guys. The switches are a volume boost (just a DPDT with different resistors on each side) and a bass boost (A SPST which brings a 0.1uf cap between B and C of Q2 in and out of the circuit).

I keep considering making a pedal that pretty much houses a 555-timer circuit

[umph]

nice where do you order all your bits from? imma order a load of stuff later gonna build some sh*t this week me thinks

[Toasted]

I got the box from Sw***box, the electronic parts are from Banzai Musical GMBH, Mouser, Rapid Electronics, and the kit is a BYOC ESV fuzz from the UK distributer who are called Vibe-o-tronic

[umph]

thanks brah

[umph]

what did you use for the led btw?

[Toasted]

It's not really practical. That led draws like 50mA. It was worth it to give it a go. But pretty pointless in pedals.

Any clips?

[Toasted]

I'll do one. I'll be honest, I'm not 100% blown away by the sound - but that wasn't REALLY the point of this project. It was to test the LED, test the Orman input mod, test the Beavis volume / phatty mods. In that respect it was very sucessful.

haha fair does my mate wants me to put one in his tube screamer which would be powered by the mains anyway so link away pretty please
