Another pedal by thetonyballs showed up today thus rounding out my set up.
Time to start building a new pedalboard!
A circuit famously used to record In a Gadda Da Vida and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. A very particular kind of snarling silicon fuzz.
A Mosrite FuzzRite clone on Veroboard. This is the silicon version, using a pair of metal can 2N2222A transistors. I have since replaced them with a pair of BC108C's to achieve more gain and sizzle.

This is a clone of the old silicon Mosrite Fuzzrite pedal. I wanted to do it mainly because of Pino Rucher's tone on, 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,' but also because of Iron Butterfly.
I've been told that the magic happens with 80-90 hFE in Q1 and 60 hFE or so in Q2. The idea being that the second transistor has less output than the first. So I put a vintage BC108 in Q1 and a very nice gold-pin 2N3724 in Q2.
It really does sound like that thing. Kind of harsh and trebly and not very friendly. Run it into some spring reverb to get that Spaghetti Western mojo going.
I hadn't planned to build another one of these any time soon, but plans change.
This is Fuzz Dog's Pedal Parts' clone of the Skreddy Pedals Lunar Module. I don't sell these. I haven't even done a demo of one, because it's Marc Ahlfs' thing and I only own a clone because I'm too poor to own a real one. However, it's an amazing circuit.
Anyway, last night I offered up a clone of a Fuzzrite and a clone of a Scrambler as a last-minute thing to take my Troika Kickstarter campaign over the line and someone who'd already pledged a Troika tried to get in on the pedals, but Kickstarter only allows you to pledge one reward in a campaign. So he got frozen out and I felt bad. Someone else got the pedals.
So I contacted him today and offered him the Buzzaround I just built (and tested with a variety of different transistors). I also offered him my Lunar Module clone. He took me up on the offer and then I realized I had to build another Lunar Module, 'cause I can't be livin' without one. So I just put another one of these boards together. I bought a spare in case I screwed the original up somehow. It's loaded with three vintage gold-pin BC109C low-noise transistors.
These are one of the greatest fuzz designs ever. I guess they were intended to get David Gilmour's, 'Dark Side of the Moon' tone (hence this clone's, 'Dark Side of the Fuzz' name), but this circuit covers a lot of ground. It's one of those pedals that you kind of can't live without once you've spent some time with it. I really want to try the Skreddy Hybrid Fuzz Driver, which is very similar to this circuit, but with a germanium transistor in Q3. Maybe one day I'll have some spare cash and that will be my first official Skreddy purchase.
In the meantime, I had to get this built tout suite.

Repost @tone_machines ・・・ One of the filthiest fuzzes ever...💩 --- Nomad Banshee Fuzz (1966) --- A disgustingly primitive sounding pedal, like a freshman Electronics project gone wrong... but in all the best ways///🐜 --- Also produced as the "Allied Banshee Fuzz", it sounds like a mix between a Maestro Fuzztone and a Fuzzrite, but somehow more gated...🚮 --- So bad, it's good.😎 @effectsdatabase, via Instagram: bit.ly/1TzgE8n

So here's my other Sunday night project. A clone of the old Mosrite Fuzzrite pedal. I wanted to do it mainly because of Pino Rucher's tone on, 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,' but also because of Iron Butterfly.
I've been told that the magic happens with 80-90 hFE in Q1 and 60 hFE or so in Q2. The idea being that the second transistor has less output than the first. So I put a vintage BC108 in Q1 and a very nice gold-pin 2N3724 in Q2.
It really does sound like that thing. Kind of harsh and trebly and not very friendly. I need to run it into some reverb to get my Spaghetti Western mojo going.
Trying to use stuff I have on-hand to generate a little more revenue in advance of the massive wire transfer for the Telematic run. I noticed I had the stuff laying around to build a Fuzzrite tonight, so I just listed that. I used a pair of vintage BC108 transistors. Sounds pretty Fuzzrite-y.
A short while ago Dick Chiclet asked me to shoot the cover of his band's upcoming release on Spinout Records. Now that the image has been selected for THE FUZZRITES album cover, I thought I'd share some of my additional photographs from the session. Some of the other images were also in the running for the cover. Some were not.
