Foxx Select-a-fuzz.

I figured that I would just sit back with the schematic and go.....nope...but you're getting warm! 

[Gus]

I am surprised that this thread is not more popular. 

[Gus]

is there an update?

[armdnrdy]

Yesterday I sent another email to MusicParts requesting a schematic I need.  I included that a friend wants to purchase the Foxx Select-a-fuzz drawing as well.

It doesn't seem as if the individual at Musicparts runs a tight ship!

Maybe he pulls requested drawings, scans them, and uploads them to his site only when he runs out of drinking money!

I called three weeks ago, and got a very nonchalant attitude ("Yeah, I'll see if I can get it out to you in a few days"). Last week I sent another email request, but no answer.

I think I'm going to spam him.

I've dealt with them in the past, they're (very) slow but will eventually come through.

Oh....Dino and I will make him come through alright!
This MusicParts character doesn't want us on his bad side! 
I don't think he quite understands...We have pedals to build for goodness sake!
Dino....rough him up!

Bump

Any news? 
How did the experiments with the guesses at the circuit go?

Since I received the Rand-o board, I've been working on that. I still have the Select-a on the breadboard, and have not abandoned this project. I've also harrased the Musicparts guy too, but to no avail.

Once the Rand-o is figured out, I'll come back to this. Just seems that I've been chewing into some ball busting projects of late. Can't get a break.

Thanks for the update.  I find this fuzz thread and the bigger muff thread to be the current interesting threads.
It is funny to work on a puzzle like this.

[digi2t]

Puzzles? Fun? I dunno chief, the Rand-o is giving me fits and starts right now. There's blood on the bricks, and my head is sore.

Nope. I'm sorely disappointed with the guy at Musicparts. The process went something like this;

- Emailed asking for schematic. No answer.
- Two weeks later, called. Was told that it would be up "in a few days".
- Two weeks went by, nothing on web site.
- After a couple of more weeks, sent another email. No response.
- Waited a couple of more weeks, emailed again. No response.

I know I can be like a "dog on a bone" annoying at times, but I don't think I was being unreasonable here. Especially considering what the guy at Musicparts told me on the phone. 

I've thus set this project aside for now. It's still on a breadboard, but I'm working on other stuff for now, until my enthusiasm for this project gets recharged.

I wonder if the first stage is a copy of the colorsound 1 knob or Vox circuit or other one knob fuzzes
maybe something like reply 10 http://www.diystompboxes.com/smfforum/index.php?topic=111894.0

Maybe using the 82 ohm 4.7k node as the supply for the 2nd stage and taking the output from the collector or it could be the "standard" values in a FF like circuit(add the C to B cap at Q1 and RC C to B at Q2)

[Gus]

Any update on this?

[bmsiddall]

Another belated bump on this. The YouTube video has me salivating!

Oh man. I had no idea.

I've read many posts from you, dino, jimmy etc. Assumed/felt you were all indestructible.

There are more important things in life.

[digi2t]

Woah! Been a while....

After a long hiatus, I decided to throw some new values on the breadboard. Gus had sent me a sim way back, which I tried, but it just wasn't really blowing my skirt up. I think I have a winner with the new values (jammin' in my jammies)...

Here's the new setup. Low gain transistors to the rescue!

dude, that sounds @#$%in RIPPIN'!!!
downloaded.
maybe i get wyld hair crosseth mine arse, and whip up a vero version and try it. looks great, sounds freakin killer.

well done, yet again, mr digi2t!
