DAM Buzzotron
For Fuzz Friday, here's the D*A*M Buzzotron with a few modifications (based on H.A.'s suggestions).The Buzzotron is a tweaked Burns Buzzaround, which can also be built on this layout. What I've added is a master volume control and a ICL7660-based voltage inverter. This allows you to power the effect with a standard +9v supply and use PNP germanium transistors like the originals. Here's the Buzzotron and Buzzaround schematics for reference.
Thanks! The demo video for that makes this one sound pretty killer.
ReplyDeleteJust when I thought I was good with my fuzz projects...
Thank you very much. If only I could spend you a beer for that. Going to build this pretty soon.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the buzz-alike because.. you only need one transistor and it sounds the same (to me).
ReplyDeleteNever had luck with the buzz-alike. Didn't clean as nicely as the discret version und always was too gated.
ReplyDeleteBTW: You can tag this verified. BUT: You really need to activate the freq. boost function of the 7660s to raise the switching to 35kHz. Without you can hear the 10kHz whining in the background. I simply jumpered pin 1 and 8 for that.
Why are two 10k resistors connected to the collector circuit q1 and q2? = 5k is it intentionally?
ReplyDeleteIt's a duplicate. There should only be one. I'll fix it
