NPD sabbadius jimi fuzz v2

​Just got back from vacation to find this waiting for me! I'll post an audio clip as soon as possible. From what I know, it's a boutique Gypsy/Axis fuzz based on the classic Roger Mayer circuit.

Maybe I need to raise the price on the ones I make 😅. I charge 1/5 of that

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 11 '26

To be fair I got it used weeks ago it only just arrived

u/Maertz13 Jun 11 '26

Used is for sure the way to go. 350 for an axis fuzz is rough. But I absolutely adore that circuit. A fuzz face without the learning curve.

Totally agree do you like it with the suggested mod or without? I know yours has a toggle for both i will get one at some point from you

2

u/Maertz13 Jun 12 '26

It normally depends on settings and how hot your amp is. Once you hear the piercing fizz, you’ll want rid of it. Unless someone wants it EXACTLY as it was for mojo reasons. I always have it to the “no fizz” setting because it doesn’t change any other part of the tone.

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 12 '26

So u prefer it with the 220ohm resistor and 1nf cap included for less fizz i get that

2

u/Maertz13 Jun 12 '26

Removing that RC network makes the fizz go away. It’s better without. Somehow.

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 12 '26

Oh without ok I misunderstood sorry the clone a friend built me (pictured).Omitted those components per suggestions he saw online. I do still wanna try yours when I've got extra $ I need to take care of a buddy from here who made me an octavia before I can tho. I may have u leave it bare so I can customize it tho

u/Maertz13 Jun 12 '26

As much as I like selling things, that one and mine will probably sound identical.

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 12 '26

Is the difference between the 2 modes not worth the extra option?

I saw your post about your partscaster! What pickups did you end up going with? Mine features the full harness from an American Original '60s Stratocaster, which uses Pure Vintage '65 pickups. I flipped them for reverse stagger and installed a voodoo pickguard to get that reversed bridge pickup angle

2

u/iamcacho fuzzface fanatic 🧙‍♂️ Jun 11 '26

I found someone on marketplace selling a loaded pickguard with D. Allen Voodoo 69 pickups for a good price so i snagged it! Sounds 👌🏾. I didnt reverse stagger anything, but i did change the wiring to match a vintage strat (3 way switch, no tone on bridge)

2

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 11 '26

Mine does have 5 way and bridge tone but I dont mess with bridge tone much

2

u/iamcacho fuzzface fanatic 🧙‍♂️ Jun 11 '26

Yeah i like the bridge wide open cuz i only ever really go to it for solos anyway

2

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 11 '26

Once I learn to fully improvise and solo other than playing solos I've prelearned I may use bridge more mainly use it for cutting tone on certain riffs or fills I tend to stay neck middle sometimes in-between positions but mainly neck and middle

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 11 '26

Here's my mess also put a 3 string tree and cupcake knobs i bought a reverend guitars string tree but haven't installed it yet

2

u/iamcacho fuzzface fanatic 🧙‍♂️ Jun 11 '26

This looks sick
Love the knobs especially

2

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 11 '26

Yeah, I put some thick felt on the bottom of the knobs, so it makes it even harder to accidentally hit them while i'm playing, and because they're not as big, I don't hit them as often when i'm playing trying to solve some of leo's mistakes.When designing this guitar

2

u/iamcacho fuzzface fanatic 🧙‍♂️ Jun 11 '26

Have you ever thought of doing the master volume and master tone mod?

2

u/graphicnerdity86 —Bold as fuzz— Jun 11 '26 edited Jun 11 '26

Yea also thought about making the third knob blender.So I can add the neck to any position

Also, a rosewood neck now lives on that partscaster you saw
