My Mini Fuzz Face

[Ben Lyman]

I decided to forego my earlier plans to build a FF with tonestack, just went with a standard FF circuit... except no
switch, gain or volume controls either. It's just like my big round FF, cleans up well and is very sensitive to dynamics.

Just the fact you got both jacks in there, and didn't ruin the tin - that deserves credit, man!

Thanks Mike! I just clamped a 2x2" piece of scrap wood on the inside edge when I drilled the holes.

I'm starting with the guitar volume down for a crunchy tone, then turn it up for fuzz. My Casino has a microphonic problem with the
bridge pickup but it was the closest guitar to me at the time a made this clip. I'm sure it will sound better with a humbucker.

Hah, lovely build! As GibsonGM said, cred for not breaking the tin can in the process. The playing remindes me of Soundtrack of Our Lives (aka: We Steal all Our Shit From The Stones and The Stooges).

Amen to that bro! Classic rock is the soundtrack to my life! I just texted my brothers and told them we are changing the band name to "The Rolling Stooges"
