Cheese Fuzz (Sacred Cow prototype)
« on: March 02, 2020, 03:32:17 PM »
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 . . . . . .





Gut and build shots . . . .

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

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

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?

DIY Does It Better.

Still can’t make out the graphic though!

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?

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.
