Title: Fuzz Factory and Giraffes Tongue
Post by: jimilee on August 30, 2013, 02:46:01 AM
Today I finished the Zombii Fuzz Factory clone for my guitar player. The wiring is absolute crap as I was in a hurry to get to rehearsal and running out of time. The effect sounds just like the videos you see on you tube, again I didn't have time to record audio. I'm not sure how this pedal is handy but it must be. The artwork was a google result and turned out famusly.

The Giraffes tongue is an engineers thumb from my box of fail that I sent away on the fail pail group that we started on BYOC. When the "pail" came to me, it was still bugging me that I couldn't get it working, so I did just that. Turns out it was just a bad wiring job. And speaking of bad wiring jobs, this one too is horrid as I was done with it before I ever started, I just couldn't let go of the fact that I didn't get ot working, and so I did. The picture is just some goofy picture I found. And now I have yet another compressor.

Nice builds, Jimi.  The FF graphics look very familiar.  :-)

Thanks. I couldn't think of anything clever to put on there, so I googled fuzz factory decal and that's what I found all perfectly laid out.

Good work all round!

Are you not a fan of the FF then?

I really like the one I built recently and was surprised how useable it is after all the negative reports I'd read.

Well, as a bassist I really like the Green Russioan for fuzz. I don't see the point of it really other than it makes cool noises. My guitar player loves it though.It's a well done project, it sounds just like the videos of the original.
