One of the coolest fuzz's that I've tried. Evil as hell on one side and an excellent octave on the other. And Anders EQ mod works well. Everything I put in this circuit yields interesting results but I'm leaning toward 2N2222A's and germ diodes. Currently I have a mixture of 1N34A's and D9J's.
It's been a while since I tinkered with some noise makers, a full year to be exact. Hope all is well, Fuzzhead. My old roommate sent me a message yesterday about this pedal, asking if I'd ever heard of it and if I could make one for him. The layout looked simple enough to dive back in and knock the rust off.
This is an awesome fuzz! Great character and the octave is very pronounced. I'm impressed. I think I'm gonna take a crack at the ENGL layout next, wish me luck. lol
Sounds great tho Ian, you had it screaming!! I had one, it was fuzzy orange colored, but it hummed & whined like a banshee, didn’t sound half as good as yours does!!
Just a note to say the image doesn't enlarge when clicking.

Thanks for pointing it out. Now it is linked to a lrager size.
DeleteBTW, this is my "to-go" octave up fuzz...
Cool, thanks. Yeah I had an original once and always regretted getting rid of it. Always preferred it to the Octavia.
ReplyDeleteNice work. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteMade this one, used 3x2n3904 and a 2n2222a cause that was what I had lying around. Sounds like the original
ReplyDeleteIt is an awesome octave up fuzz. Thanks for posting, fuzzhead!
ReplyDeleteGreat sounding fuzz boy that mid boost really turns it into a new animal thanks for the layout fuzzhead
