Hype Fuzz / Destructor Drive

From the vendor

New version as of Sep 2023

Monstrously high-gain fuzz your thing? Look no further.

One kit - possibility of three fuzzes in one at the flick of a switch. How? The pedals these are based on were built in a very modular way, combining different boost sections and switching out a few components to make very different sounding devices. So, you can make one or all of the following on the same board at the same time!:

• Hype Fuzz - from a bit of gritty gain right through to almost infinite sustain fuzz.

• Destructor Drive - highly compressed, over-the-top driven fuzz that sounds so wrong its gotta be right.

• Destructor Bass - As above with some low-pass filtering to take out some harmonic gubbins to make it more suitable for low work.

Up to you. Parts are provided for all three versions, you just need to decide on the appropriate switch if you want to make a combo. Keep it a simple two-knob affair with one circuit, add a SPDT ON-ON switch for two circuits, or a SPDT ON-OFF-ON for all three.

If you want to really mess things up you can add the optional Oscillation pot, which lifts the fuzzy goings-on from ground, sending your signal wild.

Board-mounted pots for minimal wiring and easy enclosure mounting.

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