Vero builds are fun, and you should definitely try a few. On vero, the layout can have maze-like complexity. With pertboard, you can can often just replicate the layout of the schematic. However, vero layouts can be tricky to visualize. Vero board circuits often require less soldering, and you usually don’t have to spend as much time finessing the rat’s nest of wires on the reverse side of the board. On vero board, each row of holes (or column, if rotate the board 90 degrees) is connected by a strip of conductive material.Įach board type has its advantages. On perfboard, the holes are coated in conductive material, but none of the holes are electronically linked - you must make all connections yourself. This project differs from all previous tonefiend projects in that the circuit is assembled on vero board rather than perfboard. (And if you’re curious, you can read about how I customized the pedal I used in my video demo.) All necessary parts are readily available from other vendors.)īut before you attempt the project, please be aware of some of its quirks. I simply asked the Mammoth guys to create one for your parts-sourcing convenience. ( Disclosure: Neither tonefiend nor super-freq has any financial stake in these kits.

You can order a kit from Mammoth for $45. It’s a great way to explore one of the iconic sounds of ’60s rock (and lots of ’60s-influenced rock). The goal of this project, created by my friend Mitchell “ Super-Freq” Hudson, is to create a pedal very similar to the original. The Fuzz Face has inspired countless spinoffs since Ivor Arbiter unveiled the device in 1966. UPDATE : Build instructions updated to v02. We also offer the PCB only if you want to source your own components and hardware.You can purchase a kit, or source your own parts. If you’d rather not build this fuzz face pedal kit yourself, check out the assembled FF-XS. There’s nothing like stomping on a custom stompbox you built! Resources

With these step-by-step instructions, you’ll soon have your custom pedal built to last for years to come.

Road-ready metal enclosure with holes pre-drilled.RC filter on input minimizes radio interference in high gain pedals.Our pedal kits not only sound great, but are fun to build too! Features If you think building your own fuzz face pedal sounds hard, don’t worry. Kushview stompbox kits are made in the USA with the highest quality parts and hardware. If you’re looking for a good classic fuzz sound, this is the fuzz face pedal kit for you. This is our version of the classic Dallas Fuzz Face circuit.
