Demo Tape Fuzz

[Stomptown]

Recently I've been devoting most my personal time to building an amplifier so this is the first pedal I've finished for myself in a while.  It's a Demo Tape Fuzz based on Brian's schematic in the etchers paradise section and it sounds awesome.  Designing for the Bare Box took a bit of extra effort but the build went surprisingly well.  I used Cricut inkjet vinyl sticker paper for the graphic and envirotex for the finish.  The jumpers are a borrowed idea from Leevibe's Phase 45 build (thanks Lee).  The graphic is based off a BASF poster I found on the web, which for copyright reasons I'm guessing used "BASE" in the logo.  Somehow I didn't catch it (face palm) so I guess I unintentionally avoided copyright infringement. 

If anyone for some reason is interested in building one of these, i have the leftover PCBs for sale here:

A "Low Noise" and "High Output" fuzz, eh? I remember boxes of BASF brand cassette tapes in Dad's old hi-fi cabinet.

Verra nicely done. Smallbear Bear Box?

that's a preposterously classy build, amazing job.

i made the scumbag garage version on vero a few weeks ago, a lot of fun, really cool sounding and quite versatile pedal

Yeah, it's a Bear Box.  It took about 2 years to find the motivation to design something to fit in there.

Spectacular. Top notch in every respect. Those are like the orthopedic shoe of knobs and you even managed to make them look perfect.

Very nice build, per usual. The graphic is pretty cool, but those jumpers....Ahhhhhhhhhhh.

Sweet build

I'll call it now: Build of the year 2017!

Top notch work in every aspect starting from the graphics and exterior execution to the perfect board layout and those sick jumpers!

on a side note: do you think one could manage to put in top mounted jacks with 2 pots?

Fantastic Job! I know what you mean about the bare box too. I have two of them and I have absolutely no ambition to use them. Great design.
