Title: Wooly Mammoth Bass Fuzz
Post by: m-Kresol on May 15, 2014, 07:27:00 PM
A friend of mine wanted a Fuzz for his Bass to push his motivation to play more again. He wanted a Sonic & Knuckles cover, so he got it. With extra geeky pixel font :D
Unfortunately, I'm still early on the learning curve and misjudged the size of the knobs and placed the labels to close to the drill holes, so they are mostly covered. I will get smaller knobs with my next parts order and substitute, but until then it looks like this:

Btw. the white stuff under the PCB is NOT chewing gum, it's putty we use to fix samples to the mount in the lab. It's not really sticking though... but since the PCB just barely fits in there in terms of height, it can't really move around anyways.

I've done that 'label under the knob' thing too many times! Don't worry about it, looks like it's a great build. I love seeing people share their abilities with friends.

Do those enclosed jacks have "plastic" threads? I don't think I have seen that style jack with plastic threads before. Linky??

I don't really know what you mean by threads, but those are the ones I used:
