My favorite video on YT. Thanks for the rundown of the circuit. Id love to see more of these
That was great Love this pedal Thanks
great video! the resistors are carbon film. The transistor are wired up like zener diodes paired to ground to create the clipping and the 680pf in parallel with 220K resistors with 100K to ground to another paralleled cap/resistor pair combined creates the unique fuzztones. The tone switch is decently useful, but one can create a different filter stage for each with an additional resistor to capacitor in series to the mixer pot.
This is information is priceless ... Thank you so so much :)
Is the clipping section the 2 done transistors???..I had alot luck using them type transistors in fuzzs n in a compressor. We called them rat eyes since black round n shine like rats eyes..great explanation, love this fuzz have handmade one w the slider tone switch on a footswitch highly recommend doing that. Very useable like that...great video.
dome transistors == to-106 package if you're ever searching for that style.
That footswitch is not true bypass as it keeps the input connected to the circuit. This was common back then. If your circuit had a low impedance input you got your highs sucked away as a result. True bypass systems switch the input off of the circuit board and directly to the output jack.
This is correct! My mouth runs faster than I think sometimes, sorry for the slip.
@@mimmotronics I figured you knew that and just glossed over it!
I think the last Maestro fuzz was the one that had the control wheels on the side. The big wedge shaped thing. Not sure what was in that. Maestro made some cool pedals. It’s a shame Gibson stopped making those.
Domed transistors not done..sorry..
