- Hello everybody and welcome back to the channel!
This video will review the Tayda Electronics Fuzz Face DIY PCB. If you know fuzz, you are for sure familiar with the fuzz face. A simple shunt-series feedback circuit that has been used countless times as the basis for many fuzz pedals today. Tayda's PCB gives you the layout for the original circuit and allows you to build it how you please. NPN, PNP, silicon, germanium it can all be done here. The board also gives you an internal bias trimmer and an easy to reach probe point for quick calibration. Outer knobs are pretty simple with just Volume and Fuzz. This video will demo my latest build with 2N1308 NPN Germanium diodes. Enjoy!

A good, warm, fuzz. Yeah, the 100pF did take a bit of top end off, but I prefer my Fuzzes to be a tad dark.
Yeah. I'm sure you can play around with the value of the cap, but I agree... I like the sound with 100pf
@@pougnetpedals Not to get off topic, but have you tried any of DIYGuitarPedals.com.au's PCBs or kits?
No, but watched plenty of his videos. I'm in Canada so can't imagine what the shipping would be. Someday I will get around to ordering some.
@@pougnetpedals Well, if there is any of the DBE stuff, I can ship it from Florida.
Hey, you still producing videos?
Hey I dig this! How can I identify the where to put the 100pf between the collectors of the transistors on the board? Thanks for your time!!!
What kind of pots are you using? Are they angled?
I have an interesting inquiry, how do you build an ab switcher that receives commands from an external device via TRS?
I'm trying to build a box that has a signal split on the right that would go into two preamp inputs, then have their FX send come back into a ab switcher and out as a mono, and then stereo in to stereo out back into the FX returns of the amps just for ease of routing 6 cables.
Why do this? I use a BOSS ES-8 and it has a handy always on send with a return BUT it doesn't support running this to two amps because it's mono.
By doing this I'll be able to choose between two different preamps simply by using the ab return and sending the bypassed amp a signal into the FX return to use it's power amp and vice versa. It would be a HUGE game changer for me and many other players who don't even know this is an option.
It also wouldn't hurt to have a MIDI in/out for use with an external controller. Also to have a single split on it's way out for a device that only has a MIDI in (digitech whammy, I'm looking at you!!!) would be supreme.
Hmm, that's a loaded question. I think i will put it on the list. Maybe something that can be looked at in a future vid.
@@pougnetpedals that would be awesome
Hey brother, I hope you are travelling ok? I really enjoy your channel and had not seen a post from you in a while, so was wondering if you were ok?
Haha. Yep. All is good. Summer is getting in the way. I have a few videos in the hopper. Likely push them out in the coming weeks
