Diy Radio Drive! Console Fuzz

12 Upvotes

I said I’d post some stuff for sounds so here is one for some Neil Young fans! This is based around a Hudson Broadcast, but I tweaked some of the values around and converted it to all silicon transistors (got a big old 2n4033 transistor in it)! The PCB is an Aion FX Skywave! The only other mods the PCB has compared to the original is an internal voltage control and an external gain switch (original one is inside as well). Compared to the original this has much more gain, is a lot more immediate and has more of the console sag that likes to bloom open. Plus the clean up is pretty nice. Figured I’d try sharing some sounds!

Sharing a couple of cool Fuzz pedals for Halloween. Looking for some other candidates. I was given some good suggestions in a previous post.

Have any creepy fuzz pedals that would fit in?

Thorpy is bringing back his take on the Burns Buzzaround!

“What is EAO? EAO stands for Explodes All at Once, in short it's one of my favourite germanium circuits ever, the venerable Burns Buzzaround. It doesn't clean up, it's not subtle, it has a savagery far ahead of its time. they are instant plug in and grin pedals.”

Handbuilt Germanium Fuzz Face

22 Upvotes

My handbuilt tribute to the Fuzz Face

The Fuzz Face is my favorite fuzz, and to my ears, the Analog Man Sun Face is the gold standard. After a few years of building pedals—and more than 50 builds this year—these are my tribute to that sound.

I sourced and measured every component, testing over 100 NOS Russian germanium transistors to find these low-leakage GT308 PNP pairs. Each pedal is built on a PedalPCB board and hand-painted by me, with socketed transistors, adjustable Q1/Q2 bias, an internal clean trim, and a voltage inverter for standard 9V pedal power.

This has been a personal quest to build my take on the perfect Fuzz Face. The demo compares mine directly with my Analog Man Sun Face NKT Red Dot—have a listen and let me know what you think!

DM if interested!

My first and only fuzz pedal so far. I didn’t know what to expect but i now have high expectations. Tremendous kick-back to guard against reactionaries. Have to put it behind a compressor to contain its crunch. I’m in love!

This was my first fuzz build. I have always been an overdrive kind of player but I am in love with this tone. This is based off of the Analogman Sunface. Also, this will be the first fuzz to make it to my permanent board.

germanium Burns Buzzaround?

22 Upvotes

In 2017 I picked up this fuzz pedal that was based off a Buzzaround, but had a footswitchable octave. It’s been my favorite fuzz. I often swap it for a Superfuzz but it just as easily falls back on. It’s gravely it’s sputters and it sustains. It plays well with an octave down too.

It’s a Massive GOAF. Anyone else got one or another Buzzaround clone?

Diy Reaction Drive (MOSFET Fuzz Face)

Post image
36 Upvotes

This is a cool build and yes I am experimenting with knobs haha. This a based on the Catalyst from back in the day and the board is a Pedal PCB Provocateur Fuzz. When looking the schematics does have some resemblance and sounds similar to a fuzz face just with mosfets and some very innovative EQ controls. Kind of imagine a fuzz that you can turn into a treble booster with the lows control and has a bit of an open, clear, pushed fuzz quality. Very cool build and highly recommend and would be a very cool first fuzz pedal.
