Fuzzface

[Coda-effects]

Hello all !
I have just finished this Fuzz face, following Scruffie's layout http://music.codydeschenes.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Fuzzface-Scruffie-TRANSFER.pdf
(by the way, thank you all including scruffie for the help with understanding the power supply system)

I tried to make the best looking pedal I could do, so I used a black enclosure with an aluminium faceplate I made. I engraved the letters and painted it with black ink.

I used vintage NOS NKT275 red dot transistors. I am not a lot into mojo stuff, but I was curious and I wanted to give it a try ! There are little differences with the AC128: they are a little bit smoother, darker sounding and clean up really well. But nothing really impressive really, just a bit different.





The transistors


I made a really quick video :

Simple and beautiful. I like the faceplat.

The little toaster in the video sounds nice... I'll might check one for myself.

Thank you all for your comments !

It is really a good amp ! I am always surprised of how it sounds nice (in clean), I even used it with my band during one year (with a microphone of course)
Moreover, it is very usable for as an in-home amplifier, as the master volume is really well scaled for it.
The only problem with this amplifier is the line-out output which does not have a cab simulator included, so it sounds pretty awful with headphones...
But for the price (I bought it used for 150 euros - 170 dollars), it really digs it !

Glad you got it going, looks awesome.

Thank you ! I have other projects in mind, I hope I will be able to make them soon.
I currently learning how to use eagle, so I am hoping to create my own PCB layouts soon

Nicely done and very good playing in the demo.
I see you used a mono jack in the end, so you just tied the one pad to ground?

Yes ! No room left for a 9V battery
