Here's BALLS OUT SWINGING GREASED UP MONKEY SMOKE STACK BURNING SHIT SHOOTING FUZZ also know as MOTHERFUCKER
I'm not saying it's 100% accuracy, but it's very close
Few picts and the layout. It's two variants of Fuzz Sound, with independent ins, outs, and on/offs, offboard wiring is omitted, I think DAM switching in this one is stupid. IMO better to have master bypass, and A/B stompswitch on the other side. If I'll be able to find graphic layout for this one I'll post it up

That's right brother, I like everything about this pedal except price and availability. I think it was only 5 units made, but I might be mistaken.

Look at those shiny transistors
I'm gonna start building my pedals like this I think, get some large enclosures and go mad. It's so much more fun working with an enclosure that doesn't make you burn yourself and go mad trying to fit everything inside! Nice neat routing for the wires and everything in a set place... Like a well made amp..

Well done sinner!
I think that on Smoke side Wima cap between Q1 base and collector is 220pF, on Grease side is 470pF like in standard Grease Boxes.
On Smoke side in tone section - blue ceramic cap shold be 2200pF, I think...

Thanks dear Sir for it, those small caps are the ones I haven't seen the marking on. It was just my guess, other caps and resistors are clearly seen. Maybe except 10uF on Q1 collector. But it's voltage rated the same as the other one on Q2 emitter, and about the same size. In black on black custom issue it was 4u7 for those two, but those was 63V rated, and I'm sure the Q2 emitter is 10uF, I see it nicely and clearly

I can't find it now, I did it for two BMP in one box, it's lost someware, butsinner wrote:master bypass, and A/B stompswitch on the other side. If I'll be able to find graphic layout for this one I'll post it up

Here's the instruction for A/B box with master bypass, click the PDF instruction, this will give you idea how to go with that kind of switching

Thanks Sinner, I was wanting to build a fuzz to play with. I will give this one a go.
It's fairly straight forward, if you want to start it , press start. You can work out the rest of the controls for yourself !
No silicon heaven ? preposterous ! Where would all the calculators go ?

I must say I dont favour those green potentiometers. very plasticcy feeling. Very cheap though...
I think the DAM stuff looks ok but the parts arent always the very best, see also the plastic standoffs
However, its pretty much what I would and have used in the past and it all works fine, inc the plastic standoffs.

What's wrong with the plastic standoffs? I think they're easier to deal with rather than drilling holes through the enclosure to put in bolts which helps on looks too.

Nothing im just saying for the money they go for the parts arent always the best. But if it works and is reliable I guess its horses for courses.phibes wrote:What's wrong with the plastic standoffs?
