My version of a Fuzzbender (Fuzzface + Tonebender). by Kimon Froussios

I'm not the first to try this, but I found little info online so I had to come up with my own.

 

The Fuzzface side should be faithful to modern silicon Fuzzfaces as it is practically a clone, using even the same bc108 transistors.

The Tonebender side is much angrier and louder. I do not know how similar it is to a Tonebender, but other than the transistor it is MK2 specs. It is a cool flavour in its own right and still cleans up with the guitar volume, so it's good enough for me. R4 is crucial in making silicon transistors work in Q1. Tonebender diagrams are usually for germanium transistors that don't need R4 at all. That caused me a lot of mental pain and a bunch of burnt components...

Q1 collector voltage is adjustable by internal trim pot. Diagrams call for 10K, but for me that was sputtering too much. Adjust to taste.

Q2 collector voltage makes little to no difference as a trim pot, so fixed 33k is enough.

Q3 collector is best as an external control. It's fun to mess with for that starved sound, but also important in switching between the two circuits. Fuzzface likes it at 4.5V, Tonebender likes it at over 8V.

I've seen different values for C8 between the two, going up to 104, but I was out of room on the switch so I kept a common value of the less bassy 103.

Oh, and it has all the bells and whistles, like true bypass, battery or cable supply, LED indicator, reverse voltage protection and pop elimination .

 

It should also work with C1815 transistors, common in asian-made electronics, but you may want to install treble cut capacitors (smaller than 101) across collector and base on some of the transistors (values and number according to taste).

Couple of builds from earlier this week! The blue one at the back is a repaired amp footswitch, also now fitted with two jacks to work with an orange head. Fuzzboxes.co.uk #handmadefx #guitarpedals #fxpedals #sodadrive #fuzzbender via Instagram ift.tt/1KrrwtJ

I've been so focussed on getting as much out as possible before Christmas, I've forgotten to post some of the cool stuff I've worked on! (Some custom pedals are presents too, so I can't post photos yet!) A lot of pedals went out today and yesterday, few most this afternoon. #fuzz #aurora #fuzzbender #buffer #booster #tremolo #sodadrive #raygunfx fuzzboxes.co.uk via Instagram ift.tt/1O5OzAM

Morning! I've been working really hard the past couple of weeks to get A LOT of pedals built! So many pedals are going out again today! I still don't have the Internet/phone signal down at the new unit so there may be delay in replying to emails & updating orders until later today. It's like being in a cave!

I have only ONE super fuzz Bender MKI left! Grab it for £40 I won't be making more of these for a while as I'm out of PCBs and making space for new pedals in 2016. fuzzboxes.co.uk #fuzz #fuzzbender #oneknobfuzz #handmade #guitar #fxpedals via Instagram ift.tt/1Paic4R
