From the vendor

Take Craig Anderton's Tube-Sound Fuzz circuit, add some tiny tweaks, give it a silly name.

Well, it seemed to work, and the circuit is a doozy, so good luck to the fella.

Great range of tones from mild overdrive to full-on fat fuzz, with warmth all the way.

Circuits with such a low parts count shouldn't be capable of such versatility! It's so good that Mythos straight-up reproduced it as the Chupacabra (OK, the resistor in series with the supply is slightly smaller - they had to change something...)

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

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.

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

Inspired by: Red Llama / Mythos Chupacabra

Difficulty: Easy

PCB size: 50 x 20mm
