BYOC Lil' Fuzz build w/Mods

[Ground Control]

This one is semi-DIY.

I call this my Fanta Fuzz...because the orange knobs remind me of Orange Fanta.

I started with a BYOC Lil' Fuzz kit, which suddenly has been deleted from the BYOC website.

I made a couple of changes to the stock Lil' Fuzz:
I always run my Gain/Fuzz knob on max so I hard wired the Fuzz to maximum (2k resistor) and removed the Fuzz pot.
I like having access to the BIAS pot so I installed an Alpha 25k pot for added flexibility.
The stock 2.2uF input capacitor is too bassy for me so I added a Bright/Fat switch to select between 33nF (Bright) and 0.33uF (Fat) input capacitors.

This Fuzz sounds pretty incredible and is amazingly small!






I have the 33nF cap board mounted and the switch puts the 0.33uF in parallel. 

And here's a bonus shot of it next to a ginormous EJ Fuzz and a Fuzz Factory clone that used to look smallish.

Great looking pedal, keep it up!

Last night I swapped out the BC108's  for some BC183 and BC183C trannys.  Completely changed the character.  Gettin' my EJ on.

Here it is in action.

Nice tone!

Very nice tone... \m/

Maybe if you can put a little transformer in it on breadboard you will can find very nice new tones
