Thank you!!!!!!

I love it when someone follows the circuit paths round to expkain the functioning, it makes it so concise and easy to understand what's going on

You could show how to do it , instead of speaking

Great video. I just built my first pedal. I built a fuzz face from a kit. I didn't really understand why it worked the way it does now I do. Is it possible to look at a circuit board with no schematics and know what is going on? Would it be possible to draw a schematic from looking just at a circuit board? great video. I learned a lot.

Such a simple circuit, does not explain why the Fuzzface is so expensive $$$ -- serious profit margin on that pedal

An excellent video, thank you. I’m new to pedal building and just started building Electra variants from schematics. This video has taught me so much and delivery was spot on for noobs like me and allows me to now build on that. Will now build on perf board with sockets for the transistors and trim pots for each resistor so I can have a play with the circuit, understand how value changes impact sound and work out what I like. Thanks again! 👊🏽

Yes brother-keeping it QUITE fuzzy, since ‘95 ! Marcus, you’ve created an ideal 101 for me to find my way into building my first effects pedal-and of all things, a FUZZ unit. ( I love it : ) Now having greater-confidence, I’ll initially practice soldering ( of course ). Previously, I’ve only reconnected a loose wire, and replaced a faulty output jack. Personally rewarding, though I’ve always dreamed of comprehending the technical nature of a simple circuit-ultimately, in which to actually build something I love. In example, a Fuzz Face : ) As well, perhaps a Tone Bender ? Big Muff ? ( I 🤍 nostalgia ! ) ⚡️🎸⚡️

It’s an incredible sounding pedal! Kudos 🤘

👍🏿🤘

Thanks for the great video! One little correction at 3:56: The capacitors are actually "coupling" caps and not "decoupling." Coupling passes AC but blocks DC, while decoupling does the opposite.

🤘👍🏿

Haha first I got confused because I discovered there was an fz1 and an fz1a, then found out there was an fz1b, and now I learn there were 2 different fz1b's. The Original 3V fz-1 is my favourite from the demos I've heard

i love your explanation of how it works but you are way off on the count of how transistor work transistor is just a resistor for all intent and purposes when you aply dc to it when you aply ac signal to the base you basically voltage controll the resistance, and you can simulate it with aplying dc voltages transistor does not amplifi signals by itself, it mirror the signal by adjusting it's resistance in real time and it forms a resistor divider with colector and emiter resistors and "the signal" is just a swing of those points up and down in voltage while transistor dc resistance changes and output can be taped anywhere above 2nd colector you can give it 8k resistor and 520 ohm instead of 8,2k and 330 ohms and it would just be louder because you just taping on the signal closer to the transistor

A treat to see you work with a soldering iron. I wondered at the beginning whether you were going to take it to bits and put it back together without the circuit board, like one of your own pedals.

Out of curiosity, since you drilled a new hole for the input, why didn't you move it to the right side?

Sweet. Love videos like this Markus. Definitely do more of these please.

This is very interesting Markus! Thanks for taking the time to sharing with us all. ✌🏻✌🏻

Very cool mate ❤

Fuzz history! The very first one correct?

Great tutorial. Did you ever try ordinary stencils instead of screens, and if so, how does they compare?

Thank You for explaining the Feedback Loop. Very Concise.

My BHD is incoming...yay!

I like n love my Blackhat Sound; just ordered the deluxe version, a big wedge of green cheese with fuzzy goodness running through it...Slurp!

Just ordered this pedal. Marcus will be doing batches of 10 of these pedals per month once his new workshop is finished in around 4 weeks...Yay!

Great run through. Inside baseball for grasping how the parts, the ingredients and the meal they can make. Now I have to figure out how to fix mine which has the bias mod. It’s a rehoused circuit by analog man. Might have been a fib. Who knows? Beautiful man! Cheers 🥂 and thank you Marcus.

3:31 Boy that's simple, for something that was so important to Jimi Hendrix's sound and changed the world. 2 transistors, 3 capacitors, and 4 resistors (plus 2 pots), .1 switch, 2 jacks. That cast metal housing probably cost more to make than all the components. Great explanation too.

sounds awesome!

Dude! Stop touching your nose man! How many times did he touch his nose during this video...1,829 times!

I was about to give up on building pedals after a month of so of trying but it makes so much more sense when you explain how the variations on components effect the circuit. Guess i should finally finish this fuzz! Thanks man!

They both sound incredible 😍 🙌

Red Dot Sound - Black Hat Sound...Say that fast 3 times haha! Markus they both sound fabulous, well done mate!

Love both of mine! Thanks Mr. Reeves!

Just getting into small circuits love this channel!

9 minutes in and already some great info for pedal specific printing. Thank you!

I remember learning that dc and ac voltages could exist simultaneously at the same point, or on the same wire etc. In a circuit. Like alot of things with learning these concepts i suspected it a long time before i confirmed it. But things sure made alot more sense afterward. I taught myself electronics by tinkering with everything i could all my life. Also being a guitarist i ended up working on guitars, pedals, amps everything else in the signal chain! Now this was wayyy pre-internet, information was scarce and just as often incorrect but i did get better and more knowledgeable all be it at a slower rate. When the internet came along that boosted my knowledge and abilities greatly also being an electrician by trade, i got a job in industrial electrical and learned alot there as well.

Heavy heavy and badass!

Really nice job, inside and out…

Well done mate!

Thank you for that fact about AC and DC coexisting. I’ve never been able to find this answer anywhere

That sounds SO squelchy! Awesome stuff Marcus

Sounds killer! Looks like another masterpiece from Izzy and Markus. If you’re not yet familiar with these two, they are easily among the best fuzz makers in the world right now imho. 🤘🏼

Will you make more?

Audio signal and feedback discussion was great. Best I’ve heard. You didn’t talk explicitly about the signal from the battery though. Can you explain that path?

1.5 all day

I'll take a VX and an IZ please!

This is VERY exciting! They sound awesome, can't wait to complete my set. Take care Markus, Izzy and Family!

Very useful demo to understand the difference between these four beauties! Good one Markus! I'm really happy with my IZ1016!

killer stuff

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I’d love to see a few more (simple) circuits.
