Title: Gift for a friend turning 40
Post by: matmosphere on August 24, 2014, 01:40:17 AM
I haven't finished wiring everything yet, but I thought I'd post it anyway.

I have a friend who is turning forty at the end of the month and I decided to build him a pedal for his birthday. A little background, my first build was a bazz fuzz that I called The 5-0 Fuzz and my friend thought it was great and went on about how much he liked it.

Here it is The 4-0 Fuzz. It's a Run Off Grove Whisker Biscuit in a 1590b with Very oversized knobs and a 10mm LED. Once I get it all wired up I'll post some more pics. The stencil graphics match what I did for the original Bazz Fuzz.

Sorry didn't get a chance to post guts until now. The circuit sounds freakin' awesome, very loud and a little over the top. The ten mm LED I found at Tayda is pretty hilarious, it shines a bright light all the way to the ceiling in a well lit room.

Here is a better picture of the finished project. Fifth or sixth build on vero board, the guys that put together Guitar FX Layouts are going to keep me occupied for a long time. Wish the inside was a little cleaner, but I was woking on a deadline.
