This is the FUZZ REMAINS

I started out building pedals a long time ago and when I did I tried to build things from scratch. This was fun, but my first builds didn’t look like commercial pedals and as such I was always slightly disappointed. Then I found DIY pedal kits from a company called Build Your Own Clone. Keith the owner was the master at creating kits for those interested in more complex pedals and making them DIY, soon I was off designing, modifying, and creating classic circuits.

This got me enthused and excited about guitar circuits, more than you can imagine and now BYOC is no longer, I feel that offering something DIY ourselves is a good idea and may inspire those that like to dabble with solder.

What is Fuzz Remains:

Fuzz remains is an entirely new circuit that was going to be a fuzz octave, we didn’t like the octave as designed so removed it leaving on the fuzz remaining, hence the name.

The fuzz is thick, syrupy and easy to play, the perfect first fuzz. It’s not fussy and its simple in design, ideal for DIY.

BUILD MANUAL

What’s included in the kit:

 Custom designed purple sparkle 125B enclosure, predrilled and ready to go

Current Draw - 25mA

Heres how the build process goes: 

And a great one from Hello Sailor Effects (be aware he's using an incorrect version of the PCB, although you'd never know with how seamless he makes it look!).
