These beauties are always a wintertime treat. They grow in a solar greenhouse through the summer. I was given a single rosette, now have a ten inch dish of them.
The Fuzz-Stang is a clone of the ultra rare and unattainable Sam Ash Fuzz-Stainer. A limited run is currently being made. Email me at fuzzstang@gmail.com with questions or to place your order!
So, yeah...five knob Fuzz Face build. Someone had asked me about using BC209C transistors and I’ve never really built silicon Fuzz Face projects. Pretty much always germanium. So I decided to experiment. Usually with germanium the common wisdom is for Q1 to be around 70 hFE and Q2 to be around 130 hFE. Silicon transistors are way hotter. This has a 400 hFE in Q1 and a 528 hFE in Q2. Sounds cool to me. Cleans up with the guitar’s Volume knob like it should. Maybe the ratios are more important than the voltage.

OK, here's Sunday's project. I took that first board that I'd discarded because I thought the circuit wasn't working (even though it was probably working fine) and I rebuilt it. So the testbed-y sockets are gone and I'm gonna build this out today and put it in the blue pedal enclosure. New-production germanium transistors from New Jersey Semiconductor, matched at 73 hFE for Q1 and 90 hFE for Q2.
If everything works as hoped (and I see no reason why it wouldn't, but that doesn't always mean anything), I'll offer this pedal up as a...I dunno, "blemish" or, "factory second" or whatever your euphemism of choice is for something that's been handled more than a new product shoulda been.
Anyway, I'm kind of excited about these because even the originals weren't on turrets. This is one of those things that lots of people build out, but they almost always use printed circuit boards to do it. I love the idea of a hand-wired version of this circuit on turret boards.

Been catching Fuzz Freeman for awhile now. First time catching his Gypsy project 'Caravan of Thieves'. Very cool band, great players. Check them out at caravanofthieves.com

Fuzz, my mom's friend's dog, is the sweetest thing in the world. <3 I'll be dogsitting him next Friday, so there will be many more pictures then.

This officer with full kit and flak jacket in a sleepy village reminds me of Simon Pegg in Hot Fuzz.
Funniest film I've seen in ages.
