Building a Fuzz Face - DIY Guitar Pedal - Part 4 - Soldering

This is the fourth video in a four-part series, delivered to Music Production students during the lockdown, where I walk through my own process of building a Fuzz Face Guitar Effects Pedal.
In this short video installment, I solder both a PNP and NPN version of the circuit onto pre-made PCB's.

Clicked cause i recognized those boards. Just built 2 and have another couple pcbs coming. I did the pnp stock with sockets. Started with silicon but found a pair of germanium transistors. Npn I crammed a few mods in namely bias trimmer for q1 and bias control for q2 and capacitor alternatives.

Great stuff, ben. That sounds like an excellent build. I've been re-learning KiCAD recently to make my own PCBs for some of these projects.

Hi, I have these exact boards and I cannot figure out how to connect it to my jacks etc. could you show me how you connected it all up please. I’m really stumped here. Joe

Hi Joe. One of my next planned videos is on wiring up the boards to the jacks and foot switches. I'll link it here as soon as it's done.

That’s fantastic thanks 😊
