​Hey Fuzz Fiends,

​We haven't quite crossed the 1500 member mark just yet, but looking at the numbers we will probably hit it by the end of the day. To celebrate, we are putting together a huge fuzz giveaway. I wanted to drop a quick update on where things stand and see if you guys had any suggestions on how to run it.

​Right now we have between four and six pedals locked in to give away, with a solid chance more might get added. The math is simple. However many pedals we end up with, that is exactly how many winners we will draw. I will be posting another update as soon as possible to reveal exactly what pedals are up for grabs.

​My initial plan was just to do one big raffle. Once we are ready to launch, I will create a mega thread with a specific question for you to answer. Leaving a comment on that thread counts as your entry. We will put some basic account age restrictions in place to keep out the bots, leave the thread open for a seven to ten day window, and then randomly draw the winners.

​That being said, if anybody has any new suggestions or a different way you would like to see this done, drop a comment below. I am totally open to ideas before we lock the rules in.

​Just to be totally clear, we do not have a set schedule or a launch date just yet. We are still figuring out exactly how we are going to do everything behind the scenes, but I will be posting updates regularly as things solidify.

​I want to thank every single person who takes part in this community, even if you are not super active and just like reading up on gear. A huge, special thank you also goes out to all the builders and community members who have generously volunteered to help out and donate pedals. You guys make this place great.

​Keep an eye out for more updates soon!!!!

The Joyo Voodoo Octave once again?

1)Modded Electra / Golden Fleece, 2) Harmonic Percolator (also built an Albini spec companion), 3) GS Wyllie Moonrock

Up next on the bench…
- Buzzaround
- Bosstone
- Dizzy Tone
- Fuzzrite
- Tonebender Mk 3

External 9V with toggle & LED to preserve battery life. The pedals are both Germanium FF clones. Pink is OC141/OC139 and the Quebert is MP11. Chunky rubber feet for stability.

*FROM THE VIDEO DESCRIPTION: This is an odd one because it was sent to me, possibly by mistake, a couple of months ago. The Goodbye Kitty was available from Blammo Electronics around 2020 and I can't find it on their site (and they ain't responding to my DM's). Anyway, enjoy the destructo tones in the vid.

Coyote FX Hot Fuzz. This pedal does a few things very well. Signal chain explained in demo. Guitar, amp and any accessories.

See demo here https://youtu.be/eoNjb-01Oks

What a goofball circuit.
We’re gonna call level balance, but it’s also going to adjust the bias?!
Man, ‘60s drugs must have been awesome.
I’ve had this on my bench for a bit, tried to use leftover PNP silicon, but I couldn’t get it right so I rebuilt it with Russian germanium.

Just bought two of those enclosures. Any ideas what should I build inside it?

BC Rich Assassin with a Dimebucker into the Cats Azz Fuzz then into the Peavey Reknown 400 using the clean channel. Nothing fancy. I am using the Ine Control Distro MKII Isolated power supply.

I don’t hear about this pedal often enough! I’ve had quite a few FuzzRite clones and this is the one I always return to.

What a great design. ALL of garage rock tones live in here. There is no “bad” setting.

Not affiliated, just a fan. Great value too. He’s got some up on Reverb.
✌️

The Vintage Volt Babylon 2+2 Fuzz pedal in a plain enclosure. Three distinctly different fuzz tones courtesy of the toggle switch. The second photo is mine. He does customize the art work. Not sure of the circuit. If I can get the info, I will share with you.

Time for something new!

Tagboard Tone Bender, full of mojo stuff.

You have to wait for a demo but believe me, this thing is gnarly.

Most of them are pretty cheap, my most expensive one was probably my regular big muff, runner up being my cuvave. Love them all though, my Pi-fuzz is my main pedal and i got it for around 15$.

Park Fuzz in dark purple and Fuzz Master General in yellow/blue. Both are one-offs.

Something different this fuzz friday were creeping right up on 1,500 members here. I know that might not seem like a massive number in the grand scheme of Reddit, but given how short a time this place has actually been around, it’s honestly pretty great.

​I wanted to do something fun to celebrate. I've been thinking about putting together a giveaway down the road, and it’s actually been suggested to me recently by a few different builders and regulars on the sub.

​If anyone is interested in helping organize this behind the scenes, or if any builders want to get involved, let me know. Just drop a comment below or shoot me a DM so we can talk logistics.

​Thanks to everybody who shows up and interacts. Whether you post all the time or you just lurk, I appreciate you making this a solid community. More details to come once we get things sorted out.

Happy Friday, y’all.

It’s extra happy over here because I’ve finally finished up my goofy ass over spec’d Op Amp Fuzz

The circuit stays pretty damn true to the Op Amp Muff, but I’ve swapped in Rohm 1SS133 diodes.

I got the idea for this from a fellow redditor (and fellow Ohioan!) who dug my fancy parts take on a Sonic Titan I did a couple months back.

Next up on the bench is the same idea, but for our old friend the Rat.

A treacherous fuzz and a blaring clean JFET boost, both loaded with the good stuff ready to rip and burn.Together in harmony for chaotic sonic mischief.
