This is a library of perfboard and single-sided PCB effect layouts for guitar and bass. I'm not an electrical engineer by any stretch of the imagination, just a DIY'er who likes drawing layouts. It is meant for the hobbyist (so commercial use of any of these layout is not allowed without permission) and as a way to give back to the online DIY community.
For Fuzz Friday, here's a cool variation on the Fuzzrite circuit by Apocalypse Audio. It takes the classic Fuzzrite, adds some extra gain, and a pretty clever tone control. More info and the schematic can be found here.
Verified! Great fuzz. It worked the first, made me remember immediately "satisfation" I did not have BC108B, I used 109B and C (300 and 500HFE), I also tested with 238B, 239C with good results. Thanks for the great layouts!
The 100nF in H2 is the input capacitor, right ? It cuts out a lot of bass, which is pleasing, but i wish i could make a switch with a bass boost. Which value whould i choose to allow more bass passing through ?
That is the input cap, yes. Try a 470nF or even a 1uF for more bass. Though the other cap values in this are pretty small as well and you'll probably need to tweak them as well.

Awesome! Thanks for verifying Juan!
DeleteNice one ! It works, i used a 2N3904 and a 25088, it sounds great.
