Also, would be great to have the numbers on the lugs on the Gain/Fuzz and Volume pots in the layout pics.Hi Richard — thanks for the kind words, and sorry it hasn’t come together correctly yet. No knobs is my favorite Fuzz Face mode.
well if you use this values, the circuit bias points will look like this:On the left image, the most important bias points are VC1=-0.5 to -0.7v and VC2=-4.5V, these values As we mentioned before, theses perfect AC128 120/80 Hfe transistors were long time discontinued.
The truth is a slippery little beast.Wired everything up.

Only one kit necessary for all labeled parts. A couple of years ago I got donation in form of a hand-picked set of 3 Ge transistors chosen to work well in fuzz face type of circuit. The Fuzz Face is one of the big classics in stompboxes. Don’t bother doing any work on the circuitboard until you have the bypass thing figured out.I get bypass, just low volume.

Fuzz Pedal Step 1: Go Get Stuff. Yes — just google “fuzz face negative ground PNP schematic” and “fuzz face negative ground NPN schematic.”Hi Joe, i am new to DIY community?
I used 2n3906 pnp transistor and it sound grate.
This Silicon version features 2 silicon transistors and has negative ground.
It sucks to burn through batteries for both economic and ecological reasons. The trimpot took a while to calibrate: I found my sweet spot somewhere in the middle.Deuxième expérience de montage : toujours aussi simple à monter (merci MusikDing pour les documents fournis). The fuzz is easy in use with its 2 knobs and is a simple sounding fuzz, no extreme sound manipulation that you arent going to use anyway.I didnt expect such a great fuzz, amazing and very easy to do!Really simple to patch, just wiring cables on the output jack is really difficult (I dont know if it comes from my stain, but it doesnt link very well).Easy to build and sounds great. DoitFuzz.com is a new forum board I have created for posting, sharing and discussing about DIY Distortion, Fuzz and Overdrive circuits and schematics (much more oriented in new diy circuits rather than byoc).
(Which I didn’t recap in every subsequent project.)Awesome.
Looking at it, this omission of the LED, it seems that this will just short the + and – of the battery.Thank you for this guide and for the time you take to anwer and red these comments.Hi Rido! I know you mention changing the pots for resistors, but I am completely new to wiring electronics and layout. It’s nice to know that I’m not the only nerd/guitarist out here!I recommend finding the parts yourself. Not convinced so far.
Otherwise, we recommend you ignore this PCB mask and buy the Ready-to-Solder Printed Circuit … In this case, lug 3 would be ground, and again, you don’t need that with a fixed resistorOne tip: To reverse the orientation of any pot, simply swap the connection between lugs 1 and 3.
