Fuzz Face with inverter

From the vendor

NOTE - We're all out of C2K pots, so if you opt for the Mayer variant please don't select C taper. You'll receive B anyway.

All-time classic fuzz heard on a zillion classic recordings. The bedrock of many a classic tone.

The PCB with this kit accommodates a voltage inverter, so you can power your posi-ground, PNP builds with a standard negative ground, daisy-chainable supply. If you want to build a version with NPN transistors, or you're happy to have your PNP circuit powered on an isolated supply or battery only, there's our Basic Fuzz Face which will be a simpler build for you.

Versions available with this board are:

• Newmarket CV7007 (OC77) (PNP Germanium)

• Combination of Russian and others cans we have in stock (PNP Germanium)

• JoBo (PNP Germanium - Russian)

• No cans please - I have some sweet action of my own.

The basic circuit comes in two flavours: Original and Roger Mayer Hendrix Modded. Mayer has slightly higher output level - recommended for germanium versions which tend to max out at below-unity gain.

We've included the option to go for a Reverse Log (C) taper pot for the fuzz control on all versions. It's just better - fact.

The board also includes extra spots so you can make JB or EJ versions, but you'll have to source your own parts for the EJ until the FuzzDog spies come across the right stuff.

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 appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls. Knobs are not included.
