Cheese Fuzz (Sacred Cow prototype)

[Cybercow]

MadBean was kind enough to grant me one his "Sacred Cow" prototype PCBs and I finished it. I call it "Cheese Fuzz". A gnarly fuzz with a rotary selector for different tone shaping values and compression levels. It's based on the Big Cheese / JHS Cheesball fuzz. It's like a fuzz face wrapped in a op-amp and is capable of a high degree of compression/fuzz/ filtering. I retained the A10K volume pot instead of using MadBean's suggested A100K to better tame the output. Tried it out on a couple of solid state amps (cheese little Johnson 12 watt with a 6" speaker & a Line 6 Spider Jam 75 watt with a 12" speaker) and a tube amp (Vox MV50 AC with Marshall 4x12" cab) and it sounds great on all 3 amps. Anyway, here are some shots of the enclosure and a bit of circuit porn . . . . . .

That looks fantastic man. I have a big cheese that I built out of the Osh Park section.

Very nice looking build!
I think you've done the bean proud!

Could not agree more!  Well planned and executed build.

Fantastic build!  What does it say under that A10K pot that is making that cow want to end it all?

Oh my, Brian. I see it now, but wow I missed that haha.

EDIT: Cybercow, that's an incredible job! Tight build in and out. What's going on with the DC jack assembly?

clean guts and epic graphics, those colors. love it!

[Invertiguy]

Great build dude, I really dig the graphics!

[jjjimi84]

The graphics are really interesting, I love the lettering and such clean work! Nice job

[Bret608]

Yes, this is a winner for sure! I hope Brian releases this board at some point.

Thanks for kind responses everyone. Been busy putting together MadBean's "Pork Barrel" & "Man-O-War Dlx" and a few other builds this past month.
