FuzzPup Repeater

From the vendor

This is part of our FuzzPup range of circuits designed for 1590A builds. They're not especially difficult, but working in a confined space can be fiddly. Take heed.

Of course there's nothing stopping you using these PCBs for 'standard' builds. They're Direct Connect compatible.

A different PCB is available for 'standard' 1590B builds - see the related products listed below.

NOTE: Images other than the main circuit are to illustrate general FuzzPup V2 build style

Instant Spacemen 3! Just add fuzz and wah.

Quirky little box of fun. The original was a box that plugged straight into the guitar jack socket. Sound? A reverse-sawtooth tremolo-type affair. Very choppy.

Stock, it cuts the signal completely between 'beats', giving the percussion effect the name suggests. This version has an optional depth knob to tame that chop and give a wider range of effect. It has also been updated for more output, and has an internal volume trimmer to set it to unity (or over, or under, as you wish).

Also added is a switch to change the speed range available. At higher speeds it sounds almost ring-mod-ish. Also included is an extra input capacitor so you can go with the original thin tone or thicken it up a tad.

Kit comes with a tested 2N2646 (the UJT transistor that does the magic).

Comes with a separate daughterboard to easily mount the pots to the main PCB.

Pots have round shafts so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs. Pot spacing is 18mm.

If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and daughterboard, jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.

Supplied with 9mm pots (round shaft)
