Title: Joe Bonamassa Fuzz Face
Post by: jimilee on October 30, 2014, 02:06:35 PM
So here is a design laid out by Panos. It's very compact and sounds very creamy. Definitely a fantastic fuzz. The housing self a chorus that got rehoused into a multi pedal. So this is like a reverse rehousing I guess where I replaced the circuit and not the housing. Not my best wiring, but it's neat and organized, not my worst wiring.

Looks great!  Very neat wiring by my standards.  The graphics convey a sense of serenity.

Thank you for the kind words Steven.
I didn't do anything special, it was a very easy trace.
This project is a classic Fuzz Face, the sweet sound of this effect is definetly coming from those russian transistors.
Those trannies are also used in the Havalina Fuzz which is a tonebender MKII.

Currently I have on my hands the Havalina Fuzz and Joe's FET driver.
Now I am working on tracing the FET and when I finish I'll start with the tonebender.
Probably I will make a small run of those two boards if you guys are interested.

Cheers,
Panos.
