Where'd you get those big red knobs?

This, from the first post:
QuoteThe knobs came off an old Bell & Howell Model 34 oscilloscope, made by Heathkit for inclusion in a "Learn Electronics at Home" course.

Well, I finally finished wiring up the Fuzzrite clone last night.  It's really the first true fuzz box I've owned in 40 years of playing.  Compared to my usual buffered overdrives and distortions, it's a lot more finnicky.  The controls a very interactive, with each other and with the pickups and guitar's colume pot.  I knew this fromreading about it, but this is the first time I've actually messed with a pedal like this.  IT definitely likes my Duncan Quarter Pound Tele  better on the tapped setting (~7K) than on the full coild (~13K).  Interesting that the tone thins out and gets brighter  if I roll the guitar volume down a bit, kinda gets into Communication Breakdown territory.  

Guitar volume and fuzz control full up, it's In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, BAY-BEE.

Next up, the matching Mudbunny built to Triangle specs.  It's gonna be a fuzzy Thanksgiving here on the _S homestead.
