Bazz Fuzz Blender

[mnordbye]

The Bazz Fuzz from ROG is great! I'm making one for my bassist, and it rocks his balls off! And so easy to build... (well, breadboarded only yet)

So, to the point. I want to be able to blend the signal from the bazz fuzz with the original signal. What would you other guys do to accomplish that? I'm thinking of using a dual gang pot. For example, wire the lugs on the upper row for the original signal, and wire the fuzz signal on the lower lugs, only, the lower lugs are reversed, sort of. If anyone understood that, it'll make me very happy.

I understand what you`re talking about regarding the dual gang pot as I had the same idea. I was attempting to blend the outputs from two different circuits. I did try it but as I was having other problems with the circuits at the time I didn`t pursue it.

At the time, I wrote a post inquiring about blending two signals and I was advised to use a different system.

Have a look here for various possibilities.

mnordbye, have you tried to search?

There's millions of topics about blending wet and dry signals. Lots of info just a mouse click away...

The only thing I would add is to experiment with a boost, with or without EQ (maybe something like a Hog's Foot), in the clean blend path. Trying to blend a raging fuzz with a passive clean path doesn't usually result in a "merger of equals" - more like a "hostile takeover."

what layout did you use?

[mnordbye]

I see. Might need a booster on the clean signal side then. 

I used the schematic here: http://www.home-wrecker.com/bazz.html Version 3

splitter / blend

about a bajillion threads on it if you use the [SEARCH] function

Magnus:

Look for the "Pocket Rockit" on Mark Hammer's site.  It uses a resistive mixer to control the ratio of clean to distorted signal.  Sounds like what you might be looking for.

Found a layout called the Mini Blender now, which seems to be just the right thing for me. Haven't found a schematic yet, but since there's a transistor in there, i suppose it boosts the clean signal a bit. Anyone worked with that circuit? found the layout in the layout gallery by the way..

This is my entry for this month's FX-X.

It is a blending bass fuzz.

Perhaps you could use some ideas from it.
