Hi guys! Again trying to build a fuzz pedal. Is Lovepedal BBB07 or Dragon. I saw this pedal in freestompboxes and i want to build this pedal. Only the schematic are in the forum
(Edited by moderator)
I took the schematic and a friend designe pcb + layout. We are discussing if it is positive ground o negative ground. Transistor can be Silicon or Germanium PNP, right?
Thanks.
Here pcb+layout
Sorry for me english, i'm from Argentina.
It's a fuzz face with a 220K in the Q1B > Q2E feedback loop in place of the 100K and a smaller input cap.
He also doubled the volume pot, and made the output cap ten times as big, so now the cutoff frequency is 1.5Hz, which is a good 18.5Hz below the range of human hearing and well below the frequencies produced by a guitar, instead of the stock fuzz face's cutoff of 32Hz, which ... almost at the bottom of human hearing and well below the frequencies produced by a guitar. Any extra output produced by the larger volume pot is eaten up by the SMALLER 220R in place of the 470R -- meaning that this may very well have LESS output than a typical fuzz face. Pointless changes.
The fuzz pot is smaller, but considering it's a fuzz face and it's only going to sound good with the fuzz at or near max, that's probably just to avoid using a 1KC, who knows why.
Oh, and it's positive ground.
Thanks for information. Previosly i built another fuzz face and tonebender 3 knobs.
So looking to layout i have to connect 9v in Ground and ground in 9v to make it positive ground, right?I have to turn electrolytics caps?
Or only doing this is ok?

Again, thanks.
I needed to modify your posts, my apologies.
