Title: Bass Fuzz
Post by: kaycee on December 26, 2016, 03:38:07 PM
Clone of the Colorsound Bass Fuzz, a cut down Big Muff type circuit.

Stock these are just over unity, volume wise, so I added the usual BM tone-stack recovery stage via a toggle switch so you can have stock sound, or louder stock sound. These are fine for guitar too, the coupling caps are 220nf so not too flubby.

My usual alcohol inks and stamping finish.

That is awesome looking. I need to get some of those alcohol inks and give them a try.

How does it sound? My typical fuzz is a green Russian when I play bass.

Not as compressed, still has the same BM tone stack, quite nice for guitar, don't have a bass to try it with though.

That looks great. I love the look of a well together vero board build. They always look so great, and somehow fancy.

I quite often make my own layout for a vero for just that reason. I'm not that concerned with space saving, so do the layout in a linear fashion more or less like the circuit schematic is drawn.
