Title: Zygote (MOJO Content! Beware!)
Post by: jkokura on December 10, 2010, 08:52:01 PM
Finished my Fuzz Face last night. Goal with this one was to replicate a real Fuzz Face to a certain extent. Mojo parts, including Modern AC128's from a guy in the Czech Republic, Carbon Comp resistors, Axial Film and AE Caps, and of course, Positive Ground wiring. I really dislike doing Positive Ground wiring, just for the record. I hope I never have to think through that mess again.

And the Guts.

Looks awesome as usual Jacob.  I like those resistors and caps.  Do you have a Fuzz Face with non-carbon comp resistors to compare?  I don't think the PNP wiring is all that bad.  You just have to take a moment to think it out.  No Road Rage in this one?

No, I wouldn't have had a road rage board in the other if I could have helped it! I wasn't willing to have the graphics reprinted on that one, cause it was too expensive, that's the only reason why it took the road rage board to finish the rangemaster. This one had the correct graphics so no road rage board.

I don't have a non mojo fuzz face build. I will say this is quite noisy, as is the rangemaster. It's no joke that the film resistors lower noise. I don't think I'll build one like that though, this is enough for me!

Thanks for the warning "MOJO Content! Beware!"  It allowed me to prepare for the sheer awesomeness I was about to witness  ;D

Nice build Jacob  ;)
