Dude!! You should do a play through on every pedal you break down and you can explain the sounds that we are hearing as pertaining to the circuit you just went through.
I would love a whole video on breadboarding. There’s a certain intimidation factor there that doesn’t exist for PCBs, and some instructional info would be way cool.
@@passerbycmcagreed, if you fail the connection it is easy to fix since you just unplug and replug vs removing solder (unless GP is talking about stripboard or veroboard which JHS built theirs off of).
@@Mr2greys yeah i find veroboard a pain to work with, the amount of planning required to make it small enough to fit in a regular sized enclosure i find is to the point where i rather just design and get a board printed
There are quite a lot of videos on RUclips for breadboarding and theyre quite simple to understand, but getting used to using them is probably something that'll just take trial and error and spending some time giving it a go. Fuzz face circuit is a nice easy one to begin getting used to. Or start not even with a pedal, just simple LED and battery circuits
Ah dang I was hoping you'd do the output cap and bright cap in circuit together! This was a really cool breakdown, hope to see more circuit investigations and breadboard experiments!
Great video, thanks really helped explain a lot and full of ideas for playing with that circuit. I am new to this and really enjoying messing, at the moment some makes sense and a real lot doesn't but time will change that (I hope). More videos please.
I just breadboarded my first pedal, a Copper Sound Pedals Silicone Fuzz DIY kit... now I just need to figure out how to adapt it into an old Boss compact pedal enclosure. Maybe next, I will try one of these with Germanium transistors, like Josh, but I want it to be AC powered.
greetings from buenos aires, argentina. man, i learn a lot from your videos and really want to thank you for that! i know this is jhs take on fuzz face schematic, but i'd like to understand why the signal path is being taken from the 1k resistor and not from de q2 collector as on every other common emitter amplifier. i'd really appreciate that info. cheers!
@@graybenchelec Awesome cheers, add to cart, that's going to today up my prototypes and make life easier, be able to focus on the circuit rather than the in/out etc.
when i watched josh build his i wondered why he did some of those things which to me makes the circuit sound worse and like you said the volume would some what effect bias with no cap it was a wierd pedal for someone who creates so many circuits i was kinda sad at his japanese fuzz, honestly theyre lizard queen was kinda a weak build as well

Great video. Fuzz pedals are simple but small details make huge differences....
Ilysm, thank you i was literally looking everywhere for a vid like that

whats the intimidation factor compared to PCB's, its a pretty fast and fun way to test things and experiment with ideas

My brain has a bit of hard time with them too. Start simple. Bazzfuss circuit. 5 components

Best video of yours, that I’ve seen, so far! Great work! Glad to actually make much more sense out of things, than normal.
Cheers, Mang!

THIS IS SO COOL, great work and thank you
Great video, a demo including the missing coupling cap would be interesting.
The veroboard is all done! Voltage inverter and output cap included

Amazing video keep it up ! I learned so much thank you :)
Really good explanation. Thank you 🙏
JHS Color Box v2 would be cool to see you break down
Love it. I learnt some things.
Instant Gary Clark Jr. tone ! Awesome
awesome videooo thanks ❤
This is awesome
great!!!!!!!!

do you have the gerber files for the pcb that make breadboarding a bit easier? thinking of usint this for my schools pedal club
Hi! Did you make that board yourself ? What are those green placers for the pots ? Great idea. I'm new to this but looks awesome.

your videos are awesome and your breadboard is wicked any chance of the location i can buy one?
This is the PCB: www.pedalpcb.com/product/protoboard/
The actual breadboards are these: busboard.com/BB830
There’s a Reverb store that has a bunch of these in different sizes, all built out. Just search diy breadboard.
Good afternoon, can you save the schematic file for downloading?? How can I download a picture with a diagram? Thank you!
There's a link to the schematic in JHS's video description: ruclips.net/video/tEDqRYA3oMI/видео.htmlsi=Xw4jhHYWeya8uW1O
Did you build that breadboard?
Yes it's the protoboard from pedalpcb
Where did you get that board from and can I get one or maybe 2 or 3 please?
pedalpcb makes the PCB: www.pedalpcb.com/product/protoboard/

why wouldn't you include an output cap
It literally says on the circuit. For chaos.
