Sabertooth (AKA Yeti )

[Jamiroking]

After fighting with my zombii for the past year, I've found this fuzz to be much more usable and really flexible. I'm using it for guitar and it sounds great without any mods at all. I keep thinking of putting in the impedence switch that would make it usable with active pickups and possibly remain a little more responsive to the volume knob even when following a buffer but for now, I'm really happy with it.

I'm really happy with the way the finish came out. Once again, using clear water slide decals from smallbear. The really bright white LED really completes the look too but its impossible to take a picture without blinding the camera. haha

Also since I'm finishing my old first projects and a new batch at the same time, it's insane to compare the wiring jobs. It's like seeing a time lapse of me learning how to build!

Oh no!! I didn't even know that there was a pedal called the yeti! This is just a Wooly Mammoth/Sabertooth. Jeez I think we're running out of furry things to name our fuzz pedals...

Oh man I was pretty excited about this.........for a moment. 
Yeah Tortuga make a fuzz called a Yeti and the demos sound really great! Oh well, I'll keep searching.

Very tidy build man... Nice work.  Where did you get the 3 conductor wires used on the pots?   Looks like a great time saver...

Yeah, its been a lifesaver! Its the ribbon cable from smallbear that i just pick apart. Its stranded so it is pretty flexible and the wire insulation is nice and compact. One of the best purchases I've made

PS Christchurch? I just am noticing how many kiwis are on these boards. I lived down in Dunedin for 6 months a few years ago

Looks great!! I love my MB sabortooth as well.
One day I'll attempt to stick it in a 1590a w/ 9mm pots!
