DIY fuzz face guitar pedal project, documented from arrival of components to final result, including some screenshots from simlating the circuit.
I.D. help appreciated
This one looks to me to be some kind of leaf-hopper or spittle bug. If this bug isnt called cotton bug or wool bug i will be surprised lol.
Taken with a canon t2i with a reversed 35mm pentax film camera lens + pop-up flash.
Fuzz is a toy. . . Erm. . . Er. . . Well it's a toy, that's all that you need to know. Something strange happened in the Mixinator machine and out it popped. No one really knows what's going on under all that fur.

This is what I've been up to this summer.
Now I have a cool Fuzz MK II replica, which I use sometimes.
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.
