Love the paint job!
I've got to get off my ass and bring to reality that what has been quoted through existence.

Here's something I just finished - it's a fuzz circuit that uses 6 components, and it sounds ANGRY.

Image

not super great for guitar sounds but I have a good hunch that it'll crunch up drum machines and synths in a pretty awesome way. it also picks up radio stations!

circuit designed (I think?) by Sam from Look Mum No Computer.
in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fin8Yno69pY he tells you how to build it, and it also gives a pretty good hint as to why I called mine the Cereal Killer haha.

It's a Christian P. Hemmo Bazz Fuss, in case anyone's curious about the circuit.

I would assume you have built an electra?

I did an opamp fuzz using only 3 components, 1 of them is the opamp, the other two are 10k resistors to make a voltage divider. as far as low parts count goes, I think there is no where left to go from here.

well you could get to 1 or 2 pretty easily, just use passive diode clipping, either 1 or 2 as you prefer. i think some company made a cable that did that no? "strawberry fuzz: or something like that?

woaaaaaah no I haven't, is that what that is? I bet that would be amazing for crushing drum machines and synth bass!

the thing I built has no name. I was experimenting with earth sound research graphic fuzz at the time. I noticed that it looked like a regular opamp guitar pedal but with just enough components removed until it was shit. I took it a step further and removed ALL the components. a passive guitar has no DC bias on the output so no series cap needed on the guitar or the input of the pedal. the opamp is configured like a comparator that will output binary depending on if the guitar is pushing or pulling current from the pickups directly to the opamp. the two 10k resistors are a voltage divider that sets the reference voltage for the comparator at half the supply. the sleeve is connected at half the supply.

My first pedal project. A BYOC Leeds Fuzz (Super Fuzz)kit. I used an airbrush to do the paint job. I swapped out the red LED for a blacklight LED so that the fluorescent paint would glow when the pedal is on. I named the pedal "Evil Eye" after the Fu Manchu song since they are avid Super Fuzz abusers.

Image

The blacklight LED isn't actually bright enough to light up the whole pedal...here is a pic using an external blacklight.

That's cool man!! I love UV LEDs quite a bit. Apparently staring at them can damage your eyes depending on brightness .. but I never worried about it. The pedal looks fantastic.

Thanks! I was thinking that I might put a small reflective circle on top of the LED lens. Would reduce the amount of light blasting straight into my eyes, and might reflect more of it down onto the pedal.
