Post by: zenless on September 17, 2014, 12:44:17 PM
Anyone have a BOM for Culturejams Fuzz Rite? It's not up on OSH anymore

There was no BOM, just a schematic. I have it, send me a PM with your e-mail address because I can't send attachments.

Thanks man, there's not much to it, but only schematics i could find were for slightly different circuits.

Schematic is attached.

I highly recommend changing C5 to something larger, such as 22n, 33n, or 47n. Or put in a toggle switch for multiple values.

Awesome! Thanks for the simple little fuzz circuit  8)

You're saying this now that I finished one ....
OK, I might give this a try, as I found it to be a little bright, but I haven't settled on a particular transistor set yet, so I blamed those.

It's definitely the cap. With the vintage values of 2n2 and a 500K volume pot, it's filtering out everything below about 150hZ, which is *well* within human hearing range.  Going up to 22n moves that corner frequency down to about 15hz, which should cover what most people can hear. 33n moves it down to 9hZ, and that ought to be good enough for anybody.  ;D
