Tube AMP Fuzz

This pedal is based on Craig Anderton's Hex Fuzz - uses a 4049 Hex inverter for a cool OD/distortion sound. It works really well, and has tons of gain. The knobs are (brown) Volume and (red) Fuzz.

This circuit is really easy to build - I etched my own PCB. Once the board was etched and clean, I wired it up in less than an hour. I had a cold solder joint on the output coupling capacitor, so it took a little debugging to get it working, but once I did I was very satisfied with it! I may even suggest using this as a clean"ish" boost pedal - with the fuzz knob all the way down it adds just a touch of crunch when really whaling.

Let me just reiterate how loud this pedal gets: It gets REALLY loud. Unity gain is less than 1/4 of the way up, and if you turn it up to 1/2 by mistake... it'll rattle the windows.

Sound Samples coming Soon!
