MOTHER FUZZER (Ugly Face)

[bigrigg]

You Mother Fuzzer!  That's right.  Non Madbean, Ugly Face circuit.  PCB from musicpcb.com.  Good service from them folks.
This thing is nuts.  Harsh fuzz with lots of crazy sounds from cocked wah to octave up and down, added static, oscillates, sputters or gated etc. You can still get a regular fuzz with tons of sustain. I only added a few minor mods which were:
Changed Frequency pot to 250 k from BOM of 100 k.  More range.
Added a 1 N cap to input which eliminated some of the high end screech sounds here and there.
Added a 1M resistor to the volume pot as it was MEGA loud.  This tamed the beast.
Highly recommend this build if you like any whacky fuzz stuff.
Hope you enjoy.

Nice one! I've been tempted by that fuzz for a while now.

Looks Great!

That's a sharp build, my friend.

One of my favorite effects. There's a vero in Member's projects for the UF+LFO+mods.

I built this one too and I love it. I added a voltage starve to mine for even more tweakability.

Love it.

I bought all the parts to make this one a while back so I guess I'll need to get a pcb sometime soon.  The sounds in the demos of this thing are bananas so I've been wanting to play around with one.  Although I'm not sure how much I'd actually use it.  But you guys know how it is.

There are plenty of useable or "musical" settings.  Not to worry.  To be fair, there are some pointless settings of just awful noise, but that happens with most any of the whacky tweakable stuff.

Voltage starve.  Good idea.  I have a separate starve box I made and posted here called Zeus.  I will have to try the two together.  Weeee
