JackLondon Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 cheers Al, next I'm going to try and fit a fuzz factory in A size enclosure and I'm also going to try new paint and different decals. I've also decide to use the mini Alpha pots which are excellent to work with! Very involving this hobby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escholl Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Jack, where did you happen to get the knobs on the fuzz from? I've been looking (admittedly, not very hard) for something similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Al Heeley Posted June 19, 2010 Share Posted June 19, 2010 Here's my cheeky little fuzz factory project - just waiting for the mini pots from Small Bear US - if anyone knows a closer retailer I'd love to know. Little home drawn/etched pcb and I had to copy the old FF graphics as they are so funky. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't have every value ever though, so you many have to stretch it sometimes or get an occasional pot from somewhere else. By the way, transistors, even Ge ones, aren't quite as sensitive as everyone makes out -- if it was me, I would definitely want to solder them next time, as sockets can oxidise or work loose over time. It's not that sockets are bad, I socket some of my IC's sometimes, its just one more thing to go wrong over time is all.

badgerific Posted June 23, 2010 Share Posted June 23, 2010 Just finished my third build, a BYOC digi delay with ping pong. Sounds great, almost analogue sounding with quite dark repeats. Only thing I would like to do is have it so the repeats continue even if I turn the pedal off but I don't know enough about this stuff yet and couldn't find a mod for it on the BYOC forum so I might have to wait a while for that. Not a great pic cos of the light off the screen but here it is: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

badgerific Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thanks, I think my next project will be building a fuzz factory on stripboard and then a simple valve booster pedal. This is the most addictive hobby I've ever done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also buys you into their users' forum. Apparently there are folks who offer parts kits too... all will be revealed once I get access to the users' forum.[/quote] Oooof! Got the PCB and reading the instructions. I may well have bitten off more than I can chew. Still, I have two more projects on which to improve my skills with the iron before I come to this one!!!

Al Heeley Posted June 27, 2010 Share Posted June 27, 2010 (edited) [quote name='bobbass4k' post='864860' date='Jun 12 2010, 12:59 AM']I'm building a fuzz factory clone, I've wanted to mess around with one for ages, but not enough to drop £100 2'ns hand. Anywho just wanted to run the stripboard layout I came up with by everyone: I basically combined a stripboard layout I found with the schematic [url="http://madbeanpedals.com/projects/Zombii/docs/Zombii_ver4.pdf"]here[/url]. Just wondering if anyone can spot any major cockups I've made, improvements I could make etc. I might end up putting the little LED and (what I assume) is the rectifier bit on it's own little bit of stripboard, as the stab knob probably won't be with the others. Also, anyone got any suggestions for any bass friendlier mods? I've already increased the first and last cap values.[/quote] Did u get this working ok? Need to check the wire to switch for the LED indicator - it doesn't really go anywhere. Edited June 27, 2010 by Al Heeley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
badgerific Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Stuff for my fuzz factory perf build has arrived today so I can get cracking now. I'm using this diagram to build mine Al: I think it's been verified on DIYstomboxes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
