Fantastic tutorial. Looks like a great kit!
Awesome content, please continue doing this, so informative, thanks
Thanks friend!! Is wonderfull esto! Muchas gracias hermano ! Saludos desde Perú! ❤
I have to have this kit!
You guys should make a zonk kit! Also this video was extremely helpful for a first time builder!
Speaking of fuzz, I really would like to reclaim that feeling of a blue clipper cranked up. I had an original Dan Armstrong way back in the 70s and I know I have no idea what happened to it but I miss it. I don’t know if you take request - but if you do, please make a pedal based on the circuitry of a blue clipper.
When doing PCB layouts how do you make sure the traces and the wires to the pots and jacks aren't going to create more noises, hiss, crosstalk, oscillations because of gain circuits? its very easy to cause oscillations with gain circuits and the component layout have to follow rules which you should go over in a video lesson
Thank you for creating this kit and posting the video. I'm wondering: I want to do the bias mod where I have a knob on the pedal that allows me to change the bias for q2 and an internal pot to change the bias for q1. Does that make sense and if so can I do that here. Total noob here but I saw JHS doing this mod. Thank you for your time

Where I saw this mod. Thank you again
This is very much do-able for Q2. Replace the trim pot on the circuit board with wires going to a full size pot (B10k, same as the trim pot). Drill a hole in the enclosure and mount the pot so you can adjust it on the outside.
If you want to bias Q1, it would require a bit more work but still do-able. Replace the 33k resistor with a potentiometer wired as a variable resistor. You would also need another resistor in series to avoid overloading and frying Q1.
I got this kit and tried to build it but I think I was thrown off by the diagram being used 5:48 instead of actual video footage. I was confused by a couple things (altho I see the necessity for making that move in order to differentiate between the different wires by color coding).. the orientation of the pcb while wiring up in relation to the bottom of the switch was a big question mark.
also, this diagram doesn't depict the fuzz circuit so that threw me off.
this is the first time I've tried to build a guitar pedal, so my perspective is from that of a total beginner.
I had to remove and re-solder several components and the end result was a silent pedal when turned on!
I'm already a loyal customer, tho and also bought the Klon kit. looking forward to sorting this all out and also, lastly, want to express my gratitude to you for putting in this effort to help aspiring pedal freqs take their awkward first steps.
cheers
The Troubleshooting sub-forum on PedalPCB's forum is a FANTASTIC community to help you get the pedal working if you're having some troubles.
You'll get it working soon, I believe in you!
I got it to work! @@StompBoxParts
Is there a sound demo?
I would like the same too. I want to hear a little more of what the finished version sounds like - even by 30 seconds to make a decision of whether to buy the kit.
can the dc jack replaced with battery?
Yes, just keep in mind where the battery is going to fit inside the enclosure.
Can u share schematic?
Standard NPN fuzz face schematic. Check PedalPCB link in the video description!
Well, i went to buy one of your kits, and apparently its $107 minimum to post a $39, 50 gram package of components to Australia? If you dont want to sell overseas, just say you don't want to sell overseas.
Sorry, that's frustrating! Depending on your location, the shipping quotes can be very expensive from UPS/FedEx. However, yes, we are focused on our USA customers and businesses outside the USA. Thanks for your interest!
You should expect things to be expensive when shipped to AUS 😂
@@ezrablack5395 I do, there's anexvhange rate and everything. I just don't understand why a package of components can't be sent regular post.
he isnt in charge of overseas shipping cost lmao
@@crazyfactsandcoolvids he could use USPS instead of couriers.
trim pot 666 hehehe
$50? you can BUY a pre-made Fuzz box for $20
Yeah cool .. (Like Clown Shoes)
No build instructions .. (go ask someone else)
No build support .. (go ask someone else)
I'm Surprised you bagged the parts?
(well the Pict. on the site shows them bagged)
Yes this comment was sarcasm.
100% Clown Shoes.
You just commented on some build instructions! PedalPCB's forum is an AMAZING resource for support and troubleshooting! The parts are in bags. Please don't make fun of my big feet!
Hello. I see the different values of the resistors but I’m wondering if they have to be installed a certain direction?
Resistors have no polarity and can be installed in any direction.
@@StompBoxParts cool!!!! Thanks for the answer!
