I use a contact cleaner with added lubricant. It's saved a lot of pots for me. This is what's available in my part of the world:

Although there is a fair amount of variotion with Fuzz Faces, especially if they have been modded I always found looking at layouts to be helpful if I needed to do a quick repair. You can see here the input jack is a stereo type: https://www.amplifiedparts.com/pedal-guides/build-project-iss1-fuzz-cl...

I use one of these for tracking all the time. Sounds amazing stock and it means I can record silently and not disturb my wife.

I reckon that pot in the R1 closeup does say 13777... soemthing:

That's a heavy duty build!

ICE-9 traced the digital side early on in this thread but a lot of the visual materials have 404ed. This is the link ICE-9's profile. memberlist.php?mode=viewprofile&u=7010
Maybe send them a PM and see if the can help out.

What do the trimmers control? I have the metal-cased Daphon Flanger and would be interested in messing around with it. The trimmers give the manufacturer the possibility to adjust a few settings that may differ with the components used. Contrary to what many people think, the operators in the produ...

Pretty sure it's an Ibanez CS5 Soundtank under the hood. Maybe go digging for mods on that unit and verify if they can be applied.

Just a thought.

If you have delays or mod effects in your chain you will need more juice.

The sounds will be already on the new chip, it is an easy replacement with a little practice. I'm sorry this has been a bad experience for you, I did make a video of how to easily remove an SMD 28 pin chip same as the FV-1 a little while ago. I will se if I can find it and post the info. That's oka...

Love this pedal -- huge thick tone with good sustain. Great with single coils.

I used one for a decade (probably got it around the time this thread started) but the switch died recently and I replaced with a cheap T-Cube unit. The glitchiness is part of the sound of these pedals. If you listen to Neil Young doing Hey Hey My My you'll hear the same sort of glitch from whatever ...

Great sounding pedal -- in fact it's the best OD I've used and I have used a lot in the last 29 years of playing. But they're not made well and if you look at them wrong they seem to stop working. I'm onto number 2 (number 1 is dead) -- it however has some occasional intermittent issues (I think rel...

I had one of those for a week or so. It sucked a 9 volt battery dry in less than an hour. I can't locate any online information about the M/A draw after looking for about half and hour.

Not an answer to your question. But it's well worth reading this thread (if you haven't already) about the Mouse to check you have the 560 OHM resistor rather than the 56K. http://www.tdpri.com/threads/gfs-brownie-biyang-mouse-users-important-rat-content.306837/ Cool pedal BTW. Mine had the right pa...

Wow, do you know the full name of the maker? I have an uncle in NZ with the surname Holden who made fuzz pedals for local musos in the '70s -- just wondering.

Thanks aot. So what your saying is that even after this mod, it still sounds like a fuzz. I posted another explorative question about the BITMO 2BO mod here. https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=11&t=3113&start=40 It explains my impression of the pedal out of the box and it's prob...

I've just done the switch and the pot mod as shown in this thread. Followed it as best I could to the letter. Used a 50k linear pot. I have the extra effects (pitch shifter, flanger and chorus) when the switch is engaged but there is no reverb or echo on them that I can discern -- they're dry. The ...
