I had to use some 1/2 watt resistors in a pedal build in a few locations. The output of the circuit at max isn't as loud as I imagined it would be for a fuzz and I was curious if the resistors in question could be a contributing factor?
Long answer: no. Which specific fuzz circuit is it?
Skreddy Lunar Module Deluxe. Used the tagboard FX layout. It works but the max volume seems kind of low for a fuzz.
Fuzzes don't have a general output level ;). Depends a lot on the circuit, and in several circuits also on the choice of transistors and the biassing scheme. I have a Lunar Module Deluxe clone at my pedalboard right now and it is loud as hell (with the fuzz knob almost maxed, still more than unity with te fuzz knob at minimum). You may need to do some debugging ...
yep but they are usually loud, ya? ::)
Thanks for answering my initial question.
Old school fuzzes may not be so loud, though generally more than unity, with regular passive guitar pickups. But the LM is really loud, in my experience.
