Title: Mangler Fuzz Face with GE, first build for months...
Post by: night-B on March 28, 2012, 12:12:30 PM
Hi!
I'm very happy to have finished this Mangler I started months ago  ;D
I found some minutes here and there to make a few solders every day. I have quit my spaghetti style wiring method and really tried to reduce the lengh of my wires.
I used NOS 2n404 GE trannies from my huge stock, with Hfe 80-120 and these are awesome!
I tried this pedal with a cheap Ibanez with a Fender Frontman 15R from a friend 'cause my guitar and my amp burned but I think this pedal would kick ass with a Tele and a Tweed  ::)
I really need a guitar, and I don't know if I'll buy a Baja Tele or I build my dream guitar from warmoth parts??
Sorry for the crappy painting on the pedal but I lost lots of things so I used water based paint pens as usual.

Cheers!

Looks nice and tidy on the inside, but what happened to your guitar and amp?

My house partially burnt  :'(
Almost my pedal parts were in the garage so they are safe. Musically speaking I lost an orange amp, a mexican stratocastor and a yamaha guitar... I had money from the insurance and it covered most of the furnitures I needed to live in my new house but I haven't got enough money at the moment to buy a new guitar...
