Title: Best Fuzz Face PCB?
Post by: Tuxedo3 on October 24, 2016, 06:27:37 PM
Hey guys, a good friend and mentor of mine is looking for a sweet fuzz to add to a secondary board of his for looping and such. This guy is a maniac at guitar and I really want to build him a sweet fuzz.  He says he loves the Fuzz Face, so I'm wondering, what is the best PCB modeled after the Fuzz Face out there?

PS here is the board I wired for him if you want to see it.

What kind? NPN, PNP, standard or one of the modded versions?
I've got one with an optional built in voltage inverter, pinouts for various transistors and space for a few mods.

Obviously I'd suggest the Mangler as this is MBP but if i've thought of doing a board with some extras i can guarantee other normal pedal pcb suppliers would've done as well.

I would strongly recommend the pcb from Aion Electronics, can't remember the name but it's a 5 pots fuzz face (the 4 pots from the Fulltone 69 + a bass pot, extremely useful in my opinion) and I find it just amazing. And the pcb is extremely well designed as usual with Aion.

I like the reproduction boards but they lack modern touches like bias trimpots etc
