What should I put in this wedge?

[xrleroyx]

I just bought one of these:




I want to build an OG fuzz and put it in there. I'm thinking like a germanium fuzz face or a Maestro fuzz tone or something. What should I do?

[Chankgeez]

Elka Dizzy Tone

[AZX309]

Buzzaround all the way

[xrleroyx]

I should add that it'll need to be a simple circuit. I'm still new/pretty bad at this stuff.

[Chankgeez]

I'm no builder, but I don't think the Dizzy is too difficult.

There's a built in inverter PNP layout for the Buzzotron. Which is the DAM buzzaround.. It's apparently fairly forgiving on gain ranges..

If you buy a fuzz face set of trannies from small bear that would be cool too.

I put inverters in all my positive ground stuff just because it's such a pain in the ass otherwise.. which you didn't ask, but I figured it's worth bringing up.

The companion is cool, a big muff would be cool in there, Ampeg scrambler?

That's a fun enclosure either way

Any one knob Fuzz circuit, obviously - and then put the biggest knob ever on a pedal on there, while using the empty space inside for stashing weed!

Whatever you build inside, set up the box like the Maestro Fuzz Tones...Top mounted jacks/controls with the switch right in the the middle of the face

I totally want to do it like the maestro fuzz.

I’ve been looking around at Vero/perfboard layouts. Anyone have a good link to maybe an instructable build or something similar?

I really don’t want to fuck up. A buzz around is ideal.

Uh so tagboard fx is the go to place for stripboard layouts. They have buzzaround and a build guide so you can get your first build right
Or more .. It's a good guide. I recommend the Buzzotron.. at least read up on it

Pulled it up!

Looks easy enough, now time to learn bout traces and such

Ok so check it .. that layout shows -9v.. otherwise more commonly known as a positive ground effect. The forum has a layout with built in inverter which I would recommend.

Second there is a build guide there on the main page which takes you through a fill stripboard build. Red dots are cuts

That should be a good start. I'd recommend reading all the comments on each build. People will list important facts as they are discovered.

Hell yeah, Buzzaround is a fantastic circuit!

[Ben79]

There's also the Buzzaround-Alike which negates the need for a charge pump and only needs one NPN Ge.

That is a nice wedge. I think Fz1 or Fz1a. But I'd want a stack of trannies to audition.
