The kitties followed me all over the backyard as I tested out my camera. I don't know who "Liza Sue" is, but this is Fuzzface just relaxin'.
FG Series - 1999
There was always a wonderful look of enthusiasm in her eyes when she first realized that you were holding her ball..
This is very wonderful FUZZ. I will strongly recommend it to the person who is looking for a good quality clone of FUZZFACE. Moreover, the condition of the painting (hand paint) is very excellent, and it doesn't exist in the not a bit like the amateur.
Alright, a couple of tiny additions. The trimmer pot in the middle of the board is a bias pot. Gonna be necessary if I'm going to start toying with silicon/germanium hybrids. The trimmer pot on the bottom right is to brown out the voltage. So you can starve the circuit like with a dying battery.
Well not really Russian, just soviet themed.

I like to burn 'em in for a few days to make sure they aren't on the verge of failure. Some of them are old as me, y'know? Also note that they're in nice Mill-Max sockets, so a failed transistor can be swapped out and it ain't no thang.
The latest Fool Audio Research, 'Infinite Fuzz' build.
Dig the HAL9000 eye. You know, from, 'Jupiter, and Beyond the Infinite Fuzz.'
This is mk2 clone, has three germanium transistor. Though it sleeps in the with part's own way respectively and it is rolling.
In the substrate of the pedal of a lot of present EQD, the color is a black. However, this is still green. I do not know the color of the substrate of TUSK before. Is this V2 than another?
As for the body, the Hummertone finish is given. It is a tone vender erstwhile greatly. The color is exquisiteness.
So here's my little improvised control panel jig. See the pins at the four corners? Those keep the guide centered each time. I haven't drilled the holes yet, but there will be holes in the template for controls and the footswitch and this way each one will come out close to exactly like all the others. And of course being sandwiched between these pieces of wood will keep the aluminum from deciding to climb up the drill bit and shape-shift into a finger-removal device. Which is pretty much an E Ticket attraction the first time it happens to you. I had a piece of brass do it to me a few years ago when I was doing the Swamp Plexi panels and it was like the damn thing had a life of its own. "And now you witness my true power!!!" I'm all like, "Dude! Mad respect! Leave me my fingers!!!"
I made a frame out of some 1/2" aluminum bar stock to hold the 10" x 4" pieces of aluminum panel in place. The pins are furniture assembly pins that I use to pin register it at the four corners.
BTW, I realize this is all probably too DIY for some people, but this is how I was able to make it happen before, so this is how I decided to do it again. If I was smarter, I might have some really cool Metropolis-looking way of doing this, but I works with what I gots.
The pedal of EQD uses such all beautiful fonts. To improve externals though it is trifling, a large contribution is done.
Gonna do a double pedal with a Fuzz Face and a Rangemaster. Not an original idea, but I wanna mess around with it some.
Since these hybrid Fuzz Faces are actually going to be a Fool product, I knew I was going to be spending a lot of time with the testbed over the next couple of weeks. I was worried about it disintegrating from all the use, since I kind of threw it together for an afternoon of testing transistors. So I took a piece of the 18-gauge aluminum (which I'm not going to be using for the new enclosures) and drilled a couple of holes in it for the input and output jacks. Then I put a 90-degree bend in it to get them up where they'd be handy. Then I mounted the board on a couple of standoffs. It probably looks shaky, but that board weighs nothing. It feels pretty solid attached like that.
So yeah, it's still not a fancy piece of test equipment, but it seems a little more durable. I have some more things I want to try before I set the circuit in stone and now I'm not as worried about it all coming apart in my hands while I make that happen.
Eh, might as well get a few points for style. I went ahead and set it up with a "control panel" so that stuff isn't floating around.
BTW, Mouser has been backordered on 24mm 2K Alpha pots for a month now. I've got a 16mm pot in there right now for the Fuzz control. That's why those two shafts are different.
Dual fuzz made for Ian Jones of Code Blue. (Note: this is a custom one-off and won't be produced since Schumann Electronics makes the original "Two Face Fuzz")

Just to give you guys a heads-up, I got in a couple of pounds of new powder colors yesterday. That's, "Double Blue Vein" on the left, which is supposed to be two different colors of blue all kind of liquid-light-show'd together. On the right is a similar thing that's supposed to be orange and silver, called (appropriately enough), "Orange/Silver Vein."
I've got a shipment of enclosures that should be here Monday. My plan is to do the big ones in the orange color for the Fuzz Face boards and the small ones in the double-blue for the Rangemasters.
I'd like to list a few of each next week, if all goes well.
The Fuzz Face boards are finished and on their way!
A few things to note about the design. First off, the transistor pads are spaced so I can solder in the nice Mill Max transistor sockets, so anyone who wants to experiment with transistors can do it easily.
Second, if you'll notice, C1 and C5 are set up for big axial capacitors. I have a pretty big stash of old-school axial caps for the turret builds and I thought the mojo would be nice for these.
C2 and C3 are for trimmer capacitors (25-120 pF), so the high end response of each transistor can be tailored to suit the player's tastes.
R5 is the Vactrol controlling the auto-bias circuit. I have high hopes for this. This pedal should never drift out of bias due to room temperature, which has always been a problem with germanium circuits. You set that, "Bias" potentiometer and it's going to keep the transistors at that level of current consumption no matter how they drift operationally.
If you'll notice, there are jumpers in the bottom right area to switch from PNP to NPN and there's a socket for a voltage inverter, so this can be built for either polarity of transistors.
I'd like to imagine that this is the Fuzz Face that solves all the issues people have ever had with Fuzz Face pedals. Time will tell.
