Bass FuzzDrive

Here's a cool bass fuzz designed by Derringer over on DIYSB. It's based around the classic DIY Bazz Fuss with built in blending circuit. Derringer mentioned that it might need a booster after it. The good ol' LPB-1 should do nicely. Just put it between the Blend pot and Volume pot. Here's the schematic.

  1. The fuzz is more like a distortion, but it works. Low end is well preserved. You can tag it verified.

    3. Blend lug 2 gets wired to Volume 3. Volume 2 is the output. The 100k trimmer is for biasing the Q2 JFET. Usually you set it at 4.5v (half the supply voltage) and then fine tune by ear.
