How to Build Your First Guitar Pedal Part Four I Sounds and More Biasing

In the fourth installment of this series I get into the sounds of a fuzz face and what the internal trimmers do.
Head here to get your Sandspur PCB and build with me;

Personally, I would prefer to have the external pot vary the clean % and just adjust the bias inside the pedal and leave it. On second thought, external pots for both!

[@dkpedals]

Absolutely! That is the beauty of diy! You could make every resistor a potentiometer and get really weird if you wanted to!

Sounds filthy!... I love it!

[@dkpedals]

It is a nasty lil bastard

Are those just standard bc108's from tayda? Whatever they are they sound pretty good

[@dkpedals]

Thank you! They are the tayda bc108s, measured for gain.

I’m not crazy about fuzz tones

[@dkpedals]

They certainly not for everyone, it is a picky effect
