Nice one Andy - glad you got there. Feedback is most welcome on the docs, though more recent PDFs include the details of the daughterboard doc and CLR in big red letters at the top of page 2. We have a couple of hundred older docs to update :) Peaches!

As someone who has built 3 Fuzzdog projects AND originally trained as an Electronic Engineer, I absolutely agree with your assessment of the instruction packs to the letter. It's great to see them getting some air because they do some great stuff, but I really hope they take the feedback on board. The way you hold the soldering iron in the thumb pick continues to disturb me, you're a parent goddamit, set a safe example 😆
That sounds like my first amp, which was an old Philips radio my grandma used to own. Sadly I no longer have that radio. I need this in my life. Peaches!
You’ve got one of the best channels on guitar RUclips. I just love the depth you go into everything. These pedal builds are great. I’m going to have some peaches now.
Peaches. That is sooo cool, ok? Ive often thought about building one of these DIY pedals, ok? Looks like a lot of fun. You did a great job on this and it sounds great.
Good video, Just one point, instead of tape when checking components a piece of polystyrene is easier and faster with no chance of leaving sticky residue on component legs which can cause dry joints.
I dig the Enjoy the Journey Fuzz, as well as witnessing your journey building it. I have it on high authority that the fuzz pedal kit you built was indeed put in a box by a man in a factory downtown. Rumor has it that it was an old fruit canning factory, peaches and other fuzzy fruit...
pEaChEs. For me that's one for the board. You can tell when you really get into it as your guitar face goes way past 11 on the scale! Brilliant video Andy and like I said that would be one for the pedal board as it sounds really good.
Hi, Andy! Good job on the parts sorting and tape! And the phone can magnify the part. I might be able to help with the diagnosis. In the future, we could chat? Also I am willing to go over the circuit assembly or diagram with you. (And yes, I heard the Marc Bolan notes that you styled!)
I still have a Tascam 4-track that I bought in the early nineties, though I haven't used it for years and a few TDK SA-90 cassettes in their wrappers that are apparently like gold dust. I would always push the gain slightly too much on the drums and vocals, but not the guitars. I might have to get it out and try it.
I still have my original Tascam 4- track too...have you seen how much they go for these days ? Was on a certain online auction site & saw a few..(was on there buying metal cassette tapes - they are available)
I might like these pedal building videos slightly more than the guitar maintenance/mod videos that originally got me to subscribe all those years ago. Cool pedal, sounds great (like fuzzy…peaches), and I like the look of yours.
Nice job! Only suggestion would be to not solder the pots onto the board outside of the enclosure- try to put the board and pots into the enclosure unsoldered (can be tricky), and then solder the pots in (can also be tricky), as it will help prevent strain from the pots on the board, or so many have said...
I hear you on the instructions, I was building this one pedal and the offboard wiring diagram was so bad I actually went to a different companies instructions just to see how I was supposed to do it lmao
Great sounds! Love these build videos 😇 sweet Peaches 🍑 the tones👌🏼 Please try a volume re-active fuzz pedal please 🙏🏼 clean to extreme is the order of the day 🤘🏼
Hi Andy, sadly i didn't order from Fuzzdog since brexit. I went through the nerve wrecking process of importing an amp from Britain once and wanted to avoid that hassle ever since. I used to enjoy building their kits.
Interesting. I've seen some videos on YT on simple fuzz circuits using an LED, diode or even a small light bulb to create the fuzz sound. It seems like there is lots of experiments to be had building fuzz circuits
A particularly tedious bit of nerdery: it would be interesting to put a sin wave through this and see what harmonics it's spitting out the other end. As it's trying to produce tape saturation, it should be predominantly (or only?) producing odd-order harmonics, as opposed to valves (which produce strong even-order harmonics, as well as odd-order) and transistors (which also produce both, in a different ratio to valves, which is why they sound different). However, as it's transistors in there, I wonder how they've gone about doing that.
Not that it is horribly important in this case, but even the film capacitor has a positive and negative side, but it's not marked on the parts themselves a more involved testing is required to determine which is which. Again, not very important in this case use but still something to know once you venture down more elaborate projects. I rather enjoy your little builds and playing with them videos. Cheers mate. Edit: Sounds pretty good, pretty much a sound you would expect from a JRC 4558 OP it would be a great setup to play Franz Ferdinand- Take me out lol
I like watching your videos a lot 🎉 while I cannot understand the hassle of assembling this thing without understanding anything about the design. Well we are all a bit nerdy I guess … peaches !
As someone who has built a lot of pedals, for myself and others, I'd say when you have a bag of resistors of differing values all mixed up like that, that simply using your multimeter and testing each one and then placing it on the PCB straight away (the PCB will either be marked with the values or if marked R1-Rx the consult the BOM/build guide) is the fastest way to do things. Otherwise, yes, definitely having them placed out and marked as you did Andy is a good idea. Bugger trying to read the colour bands on them, unless you've been doing it for years that'll take you longer than it'll take to simply touch your multimeter probes to it, plus that way you can test all your components and make sure they're all good and within specified tolerances etc. Resistors and diodes will always be your first components placed as a general rule, as they are the most "low profile" and then you install the taller components, working upwards as you go, like a little city
PEACHES!!! I've always said that PUSA was an incredibly underrated band, and have probably one of the best rock drummers this side of the 70's. So after building a handful of pedals, if you had to build a Guitar Geek Signature pedal, what would it be?
Mine won’t work . Doesn’t even pass sound , tried looking at every point so gonna cut my losses and just buy the original. I don’t think I’m cut out for diy kits . At least I can use the enclosures for some breakout boxes ,
On the design, it’s far more professional than anything I’ve ever made (admittedly, that’s a very low bar) and I would happily - nay, proudly - have it on my board. Speaking of which, has the veg shortage affected your daily dose of peaches at all?
2:36 Lego has great instructions. Legostortion talk about efx blocks?! Fun four track fuzz Millions of lemons lemons, no … apples ? Million of peaches peaches for me millions of beaches beaches to see Look out! 🍑🥷🏽

I love Fuzzdog. I have their Red Llama pedal and gearing up the nerve to dive into the Tri-Vibe kit that arrived four years ago.
That sounds like my first amp, which was an old Philips radio my grandma used to own. Sadly I no longer have that radio. I need this in my life. Peaches!
An absolute peach of a pedal build...Peaches and cream if you will!
Bring on the summer!
I still have a 4-track recorder. I may or may not have done the fuzz trick back in the 80's and early 90's. Im officially older than dirt.
I remember "accidentally" doing it on bass. I sounded so good
I definitely enjoyed the journey! I was also recording my very first demos in school in '94 on a Tascam Portastudio! Happy memories. Peaches!!
Peaches! I will have to get my hands on that kit. It sounded awesome.
Sounds actually pretty sweet. I would be stoked if I made that
peaches. ordered myself an "enjoy the journey fuzz kit" right after hearing you demo it. great sounds, very versatile.
You’ve got one of the best channels on guitar RUclips. I just love the depth you go into everything. These pedal builds are great. I’m going to have some peaches now.
Loved those T.Rex tones, gave the guitar a lovely peachy fuzz texture! (hope that counts 😀).
Nice job on the build Peaches(Andy)! Keep it up!
Peaches- nothing fuzzier! great vid-buying the kit sounds awesome
PS great choice on enclosure colour and knobs very reminiscent of the Porta’s
Peaches.

Good grief that sounds amazing - I'm excited to build mine!
I like your presentations. You have a very appealing demeanour!
Who new that an old tascam can sound like peaces. Love the DIY content.
thanks buddy
I was referring to a Tascam portastudio in my Projecting Grief interview!! The pedal sounds incredible.
I’m not a massive fuzz nut, and even I’m thinking that sounds fantastic. Looks excellent too. Good work with the wiring as well as the design.
Wow, what a sound you bitter peach, you! It’s such a cheap kit. Amazing.
I enjoyed watching your build, Peaches! Nice sounding pedal.
Peaches ! Great build - nice tones and control.
Fun build and killer tones! Love the DIY/pedal builds. LOL Peaches !🎸

I shall take your sage advice on board. If I ever try and build a pedal I'll send you my bag of resistors to tape onto paper.

Thanks David. On a board this small there seems to be very little strain but I’ll consider it next time!
Very cool build! It sounds great. Now I'm off to gnaw on some peaches.
Peaches! My first hand-built pedal is a fuzz as well!
I'm not really a fuzz fan, but... peaches it does sound solid!
just found your channel and i love your energy! great stuff and rad half-remembrance of Peaches too ;)
I hear you on the instructions, I was building this one pedal and the offboard wiring diagram was so bad I actually went to a different companies instructions just to see how I was supposed to do it lmao
I don’t get excited about building one but that pedal gets as fuzzy as peaches and more!
The pedal sounded peaches.
Good video. Thanks!
This was such a satisfying watch. As satisfying as having peaches on the beaches with my boy Jesus, even though he prefers cheeses with his Reese's.
So much to process here. I will process it and put it a can
Great build, pedal and tones. Let the world 🌎 go into you too 😂
Awesome video I’m super inspired to build something! And Peaches🤘
I love these pedal builds!!!! 🤘
It’s good for attention to detail awareness and even “OCD” type satisfaction
Great sounds!
Love these build videos 😇
sweet Peaches 🍑 the tones👌🏼
Please try a volume re-active fuzz pedal please 🙏🏼 clean to extreme is the order of the day 🤘🏼
At 21:09 the pedal practically triggered a sample of Foo Fighters' Everlong! And who don't like them sweet, fuzzy peaches!
I watched all the way to peaches. Cool!
Millions of them!
Worked out fantastically! Sounds great!
Hi Andy,
sadly i didn't order from Fuzzdog since brexit. I went through the nerve wrecking process of importing an amp from Britain once and wanted to avoid that hassle ever since. I used to enjoy building their kits.
I found a kit of this circuit and bought one on your review ! gav
Great video - ordered a kit!
That's a great sounding wee fuzz pedal! I'm surprised at the noise floor being so low. Well done on the kit build!
Interesting. I've seen some videos on YT on simple fuzz circuits using an LED, diode or even a small light bulb to create the fuzz sound. It seems like there is lots of experiments to be had building fuzz circuits
Peachey keen, , thanks Andy
Good call on the T. rex 🤟
I flippin love fuzz dog, I've had a few of their PCBs and a full kit too and every one was PEACHES.

Please elaborate on that. I have never come across polarized film capacitors.
Sounds great! (Peaches.)
Had exactly the same issue with the daughter board instructions re that resistor when I built a kit.
That issue has been there over 3 years. They don’t care to fix it

Sounds great! 😊 Do they ship to the south east asia area?
I think you pedal looks great how you have it... Peaches
question, you had a big circuit diagram there, why not tape the relative parts to that then transfer them?
That’s an interesting idea. I’ll try this next time
