Hope you don’t mind, but I just want to gush for a little while about the rad DIY musician/tinkerer/inventor community and all the knowledge they share. Sure, some of these people are selling a product, but they are real people with passions just like mine that want to help out as well - offering solutions, providing documentation and taking time to answer questions.
I’ve built 4 silicon Fuzz Factory pedals now. They seem to keep slipping away so I’m fastening this one down because it’s too much fun.
This time I used an awesome PCB from Osh Park that has pads for 9mm or 16mm pots. Super cool.
I also used a Lumen optical bypass board from Grind Customs FX. While I’m still happy to use 3PDT switches, the Lumen uses a DPDT that is easier to push down, which is nice considering all the barefoot playing I do these days. I’m also hoping this setup keeps the oscillations from possibly bleeding through in bypass.
Aion Electronics has a sick 8 knob Fuzz Factory PCB. I used their documentation to make sure I got my Thin/Thick (they call it Body) control just right. I’ve messed around with tone options on previous Factory builds and I think Aion gets it right.
Love or hate them, I got my enclosure from Tayda Electronics - it came powder coated flat black. I appreciate this option since painting has never been my strong point. Finish quality was fine, though if you’ve ever used flat black you know how easy it is to mar.
One thing I added to my build was a momentary switch that sends a 4.7uf electrolytic capacitor from the point where your 100nf cap meets the Base of the second transistor in the circuit (normally the first germanium in the signal path) to ground. (Positive side to transistor/capacitor, negative to ground) This adds so much more randomness to the pedal. Octave drops, clicks, tone shifts, oscillation without the Stab knob being turned, shutting off the oscillation, tremolo-like muting while tapping it and more. It all depends on where your other knobs are set. Inspiring and frustrating. Write down your settings or just go with the flow of the electrons.
I finally got my Orange Treble and Bass Booster version to work.
At the moment, there's definitively some bass cut and some volume boost, but no overdrive. I will investigate...

I've wanted to do something like this for a long time: Switching stuff in and out easily.
This is Joe Davissons Easy Drive into my Green Ringer. Currently, there's way too much gain but it's a start.

The Overdriver really is one of the greatest guitar effects ever.
So my wife and I are packing, you all should know that. We're moving into this house in 3 days! We're closing TOMORROW!!!
Regardless, I've had the pleasure of packing some of my lesser used nouns. This guitar effects pedal is one of those (do you see all that dust?). I thought I'd try its fit in the box an expensive champagne glass came in. Looks like there's room for growth :-).
Lit up by the lighting stanchion. He's played on a few dark stages, sometimes he uses the light, sometimes in stays stored in the top.

Here's a wrapper to put two fx into one box. Includes true bypass switching using 3PDT switches, indicator lights and power de-coupling. Drawing by Doctor Tweek.
Bass pedalboard made for nearly nothing
Reclaimed flooring, bike chains and galvanized straps to hold pedals down
Musket Fuzz clone >
Speaker Cranker clone >
Behringer CC300 >
Rocktron Heart Attack >
Rocktron Short Timer
Musket moves internal organs, while the Speaker Cranker just thickens things up. If the Musket has the gain up and the Speaker Cranker is on you get a nice controllable feedback. CC300 might not be the first choice for bass, but it makes almost everything sound good. Heart Attack is a Bassballs that I added Volume, Decay and Balance controls to. Last is the Short Timer which is a solid digital delay.
I've been working on putting together some delay pedals. I made one for my dad for christmas, and another for my friend Martin who I just stayed with while in NYC. This one is the test bed model, with a bunch of modifications before I decided what to inlude and which modifications I liked.
This one has a feedback loop, which I ended up not including on the finished pedals. Sounds like that would need an additional buffer circuit in order to work properly.
Fun stuff! The Rebote 2.5 Delay in stock form is a great and usable pedal. The right stomp switch I have set to turn on and off the effect. The left stomp switch switches between a couple resistors dealing with the amount of signal. This pedal, I had a switch connected to one of the changes, but I ended up using just the stomp switch for doing both changes at once. Gets very close to a reggae or dub type of vibe, where the sound starts to feedback quite a bit more. Love it.
Rubber feet on the bottom for when carrying around like a suitcase; there are also rubber feet on the "bottom of the bottom, for when he lays the box flat on the floor to play.
Some of the pedals in place. It's designed to hold 11 pedals, five on the top shelf, five on the bottom shelf, and a large Cry Baby pedal on the right side, directly below the control panel.
I couldn't get a good picture in the music room, so it's in the window sill.
Signal path: Guitar -> wah -> Little Big Muff -> Amp (Fender Blues Deluxe Reissue) -> FX Loop Out -> EQ -> Pulsar -> Chorus -> Delay -> Looper -> FX Loop in
I want to add another overdrive pedal in there so I can have a couple levels of gain at the ready. The Barber LTD is looking mighty tasty.
