Epic Fuzz - 1590A Hipster Content

[eldanko]

Saxophone player: Can you build me a fuzz in a tiny enclosure like your EP Booster?
Me: Yep.
Saxophone player: Ok, I want a picture of...
Me: Nope.  That's up to me.

16mm pots, open jacks, standard power jack... it can be done!  Heck, anything can be done (see: midwayfair).  This sounds... like a Fuzz Face.  Definitely has a sweet spot just before the fuzz knob reaches its max.  Did some tranny swapping until I found a 2N3904 and BC546B that worked quite nicely together.  To my ears, the 2N3904s I was trying were leaner than the BC546s I had, which seemed to have a little less top end sizzle.





For those not privvy to the wonderful phenomenon that is the Epic Sax Guy, please direct your attention here:

Great Job! Looks really nice, love the 8bit graphic!

I think you're now ready to level up your mini game

hehe that's hilarious. Just wondering ... did you have this graphic in mind the moment he asked you? And you were probably like, "Yes! I've been waiting for him to want a pedal so I could use this!"

That's how it went down in my head, anyway ...

That's pretty accurate, actually!  Epic Sax Guy has been on my radar for a loooooong time.

I've offered Kevin, my sax player, $5 if he can sneak "Epic Sax" into a solo at church.  I'm still waiting...

That's a fun build.  Looks great.
