This board was given to my by Bio77 so thanks John, even if this circuit wasn't for you lol. I think it rips. It's got that fuzzy factory thing going on, but all silicon. And boy does it get fat, the subs switch is awesome. Kevin also changed the mastotron impedance knob over to a pickup simulator which kinda makes more sense to me. Makes running it after a buffer possible. I went with Rhino for the enclosure because he has a horn and that's close enough to a woolly mammoth for me haha, and he looks as mean as this thing sounds. No film decal on tayda grey powder coated enclosure.

Nice fuzz, it's great for bass too. When are you building a fuzz factory? That thing is chaos.

Pedal building is like the opposite of sex.  All the fun stuff happens before you get in the box.

I built a fuzz factory last year, Dan (jjjimi84) painted me an enclosure with Roger from American Dad. It's a wild one for sure. I'm getting a new bass so I'm gonna try this out on it as well. I'm also gonna do some bass pedals soon too.

Great work! What does that pinch knob do?

A year ago? That was a year ago.....goodness time flies

Very nice, I always enjoy seeing your builds. I hadn't seen the Aion version, using the AMZ pickup sim thing is a brilliant move.

And Jimi is right, the Wooly Mammoth completely slays on bass. It's kind of cool on guitar, but it's endless doomy, synthy fun on bass.

Time flies dude...as for the pinch knob, this is from the build doc: Pinch changes the pulse width of the waveform, from symmetrical square wave on the left, to
asymmetrical on the right. It also affects the amount of gating.

Now you're speaking my language. My favorite fuzz for bass is a green Russian. Never left my board for the few years I was playing in bars. Sounded great for the sabbath song paranoid.

Looks good!  I'm glad you like it. 

How many fuzzes have you made the past few months?

Thanks John. Are you fuzz shaming me bro? Lol I don't need that kind of negativity.

Lol, not shaming you.   I was just wondering, you've been on a roll for awhile now. If I have fuzz questions, I'm asking you.  ;D

Totally agree with you there. Great build
I build pedals to hide my lousy playing.

i know this is old.  but i'm pulling my hair out with mine.  i noticed your transformer orientation may be different.  is the Primary side facing the 3PDT?  or is it facing the DC jack?
