Two Fuzzies

[monkeyssj1]

These are two DBA fuzz wars, one for me and one for a good friend, built from Fuzz Dog's pcbs. I must say, I've never played a fuzz as inspiring. I was having a lot of trouble deciding which one I'd keep. The diode rating made a surprisingly large difference in tone. One of them has a more full low end sound that's really ballsy and the other has a little less low end but a little more fizzle gross. I decided to keep the fizzle gross one. They sound similar enough though that either one is a winner and there's so much volume/gain on tap that you can really dial in a wiiiiddeee range of tones.

The etch didn't turn out too hot =/...  well.. it got too hot and the toner burned off so it's very thin. I tried etching both in the same tub at the same time so maybe that had something to do with it?.. or maybe I just didn't apply the transfer well enough this time. Either way... I spray painted it teal and it just looked ugly so I spray painted black to the top after. Some teal came out in areas I removed too far. On one of them, before I spray painted it black, I tried filling in some spaces with a pink acrylic paint pen... did not work out well... but that's why one has some pink as well. Overall, I'm pleased though black paint to the rescue. It's a raw sounding circuit so the grunge box suits it well.

Nice! You've convinced me to try the circuit. I love that etches can still look pretty damn cool even when they don't turn out exactly like you thought they would.

Exactly how they SHOULD look! I really have to order from Fuzz Dog and build one of these. Great job!

Paint Job looks great to me. Suits the character of a pedal like this perfectly.
I've wanted to build on of these since hearing that it's Ty Seegals Fuzz of choice.
Definitely want to build one now

fantastic if you ask me

Thanks guys . I made a quick demo video for my friend. Here's the link on the tube for anyone interested in hearing how one of them sounds: https://youtu.be/uKSsae9k96U  (this is the one I'm giving to him)
