Madbean used to have the Zombii project, which was the Fuzz Factory. I was planning on doing a short run (maybe 20 copies available) of manufactured PCBs made for a 125B sized enclosure upright, as opposed to the sideways way the Zombii used to run. You can either wait (or get me to fast track) for that board, or you can talk to Haberdasher about getting a Zombii board.

There is also the pudgi (http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?topic=8208.0) if you don't like the sideways layout. I have made a few of these for folks recently and the response seems to be favorable.

This is by far the ultimate version.

I would like to stress the importance of the wire colors indicated in the schematic posted by Jon. Using different colored wires might result in unwanted noise, reduced gain, a space/time portal to open in an undesired location, or, your nuts will fall off!!

Gotta love Beavis!

And don't forget those tantalum resistors. It won't sound right.

This stuff looks cool, what would a guitar player like that wants a fuzz factory, the ultimate?
