Title: My very first build! Bazz Fuzz 1590A
Post by: raven174us on February 28, 2014, 08:56:18 PM
This is my very first pedal build. It's a simple Bazz Fuzz/7 Min fuzz from Chromesphere. I decided to try it in a 1590A. I didn't have any problems with it and it was fun to build. I ended up giving it to my buddy for his birthday.(http://i98.photobucket.com/albums/l244/raven174us/IMG_2269_zpscb356edf.jpg)

Epic first build raven174us.. You did a great job on the wiring and placement of everything. I am looking forward to your builds to come.

Welcome to the addiction.

Thank you! I've been lurking on the boards for a while and have been doing a lot of reading before building it. Also watching Chromesphere's videos have helped a lot. I ordered his Classic Boost, and Ember Drive that I'll be starting soon. I'm also building a Big Daddy and waiting on parts for the Dr. Boogie/Chunk Chunk. I have a feeling I will end up building more pedals then I'll ever use. lol

Yup, that's how it starts. Enjoy every minute of it.

Corrected it for you. :)

I look at my pile of pedals and think "What the heck!" Then head into the garage to build more. Why? Because I can and because I obviously think having any extra money in my bank account would be a horrible thing.

Oh... Great first build.

This. I enjoy building them for my guitar player. He makes then sound way better than I ever could.

Thanks for the correction.  ;) Luckily for me. I have friends wanting builds also. So I will get to build pedals I won't have money in and will make a few bucks to put in other builds.  ;D

I've been building stuff for almost four years and this puts some of my builds to shame. Nice work.

Great start, Raven.  Nothing like a good 1590a.

VERY impressive! Man, I wish my first build looked that nice. You've obviously done your research "lurking" the forum and it has paid off! Can't wait to see more!

Thanks!! To be honest I'm a little OCD and I wasn't fully happy with the way the wiring turned out. I think I could have made it cleaner around the switch. I let it go since it was my first build.
I just need to figure out how to make pedals more appealing. I've been reading and trying to find what I will be able to do on a budget.
Thank you all again for all the encouragement.  ;D

Thank you. I was going to buff it out to more of a mirror finish but after sanding on it with a fine sandpaper I liked how it turned out.
