I did a post on how to modify circuit from using NPN to using PNP transistors, and as a bonus I added a quick note on how to do this for Fuzz Face. Now it’s time to actually do it. I’ll breadboard a Fuzz Face clone, and then I’ll swap NPN transistors with PNP transistors. […]
After the introduction and analysis, then breadboarding and experimentation, I’ll complete the pedal. I’ll do the final schematic and bill of material, then do the soldering layout for a protoboard. I’ll plan out the enclosure, and finalize the enclosure. I’ll finally assemble it and do test and demo. Final Schematic Trying out different things last […]
After the introduction and breadboarding it, let’s see if we can get a bit different sound. Fuzz Face had lots of different versions throughout time, a testament just how tweakable the design is. I’ll explain some possible experimentation that can be done with the effect first and I’ll just jump straight into trying various options […]
After the introduction let’s see what’s the sound of the clone is. I’ll breadboard it and try it out to make sure everything works as expected. I’ll do a breadboarding diagram, bill of material and then do the actual breadboarding. Finally I’ll test the effect. Breadboard Diagram Here’s the Fuzz Face diagram once more: It […]
In the next couple of posts, I’ll build a guitar fuzz pedal. More specifically – a Fuzz Face clone. It is a simple, yet, iconic pedal. It’s been out there since ’60s. Used most famously by Jimi Hendrix, but essentially used by many others like Gilmour, SRV etc. Even more specifically 🙂, I’ll be doing […]
