BJFe Folk Fuzz 3,5% expressPCB file

[yeahyeah]

I don't know if there would be any intrest for a group buy of these boards but I designed a PCB for it and I hate to see it go to waste.

I added a clipper switch mod to it, and the AMZ no-led-pop mod, as well as some extra pads and grounds for those of you who may want to get crazy. It has a really clean layout that will prevent noise and oscilations, double sided w/ plated through holes, ground planes, silkscreen.

I am not going to be in charge of anything involving money, I just designed the PCB for whoever wants it. If some of you guys want to pull together some funds and get a bunch of boards to spread the love, have at it! Aaron, maybe you could sell these on your site for fundraising? Just ask bjorn first but I'm sure he wouldn't mind.

have fun.

Interesting, I didn't even know he had shared that.

Yeah, the schem is out there somewhere. Bjorn is cool with it since he doesn't build it anymore, he sent me the schem. It is the same as that one you posted but with a LPF shelf filter tacked on the end and some higher gain transistors. There are many transistors that will work with this though.

I am going to do a run of the PCB's with a kit - The more people that are interested the lower the cost will be. I think the cost of the kit with the PCB and all the components necessary to populate the board will be $20. BJ spec'd some old ass germainum trannies (which I was able to score 10 of) but the kit will be pretty basic with silicon trannies with HQ components.  I have the schem drawn in English, have a BOM for mouser, and also have a etch your own board version. I will try and get the schemo and burn your own board layout posted.

There are still a few boards and kits left if anyone is interested.
