One big pedal, three big effects. Od/Distortion/Fuzz multi

[Guybrush]

Hey all

Just finished boxing up this beast. It's a Klon into a Crunchbox into a Fat Fuzz Factory. All boards from Fuzzdog in the UK (including the lovely Lumen boards from Grindcustoms). I cant recommend Fuzzdog enough to other UK builders.

I wanted a multi dirt pedal that I can use with my practice amp so I don't have to wheel my main board out every time I want to play at home.

The Klon board has a small switch that lets you switch between buffered bypass and TBP. I tried both and found the buffer had a massive effect on the Fuzz Factory. I didn't like how it affected the sound of the fuzz so went with TBP in the end.

Daaammnnn!!! That's an awesome box of hate right there.

Yowzers - that etch!!! I love the layout as much as the etch, for the folks who love top-mounted everything, bump em all next to each other, that's gotta be their wet dream come to life

Definitely a grab-n-go you could "get by" on if it was your only dirt box, IMO

By The Power of Greyskull! That is awesome.

Another one for the inspiration folder!

I like that. "This pedal that pleases so many is of your making."

I also like the build itself

Not just beautiful, but beautifully designed. This sounds like such a great combination.

Absolutely wicked on all fronts dude, great work, definitely my favourite build of yours so far!

Out of interest how does the Klon stack into the Crunchbox? I need something for my heavy distortion sound that will be stacked with a Klon and can't decide between a Rat or Crunchbox, would be interested to hear your findings!

This build is awesome. Really dig the etch.
I always had trouble with fuzz after my klone, too. I never thought about it being the buffer. Hmmm

[juansolo]

Loving the layout of that. Bravo.

Cheers guys. All appreciated.

It's not actually an etch. Just a print on a clear label placed over white spray paint. I grunged up the design a bit in Photoshop to give it that rough around the edges, well used look.

Switching between TBP and buffered bypass on the Klon affects the Fuzz Factory enormously. I'd put money on it that's the issue with your fuzz.

Cheers pal, it's probably my favourite too.

I'll have a play with running the Klon into the CB and then into my Rat this weekend and let you know what I find. How have you got your Klon set? I'm guessing mild volume boost with a touch of dirt?


On a different note, I've built 2 Klones and they both get a bit of background fizz towards the last quarter turn of the gain pot. Does anyone else experience this?

Thanks
