EH Axis Fuzz Build Report

[kristopher612]

Hi there everybody.  it's been a couple of months since i've built anything, and got the urge yesterday.  So i pulled out this schem from geofex, and did a quick perf layout.  I have to say it definitely has that old school psych/stoner fuzz vibe to it. it has a very trebly nasty attack when maxxed(which i wanted). With the gain at about halfway, it gets a little on the wooly side, with a little less bite.  There is also plenty of sustain to be had, and harmonics are very easy to produce.  the only subs i made in my build were .0047s instead of .0033s, and instead of the 4.7uF, i used a 10uF(didn't have the 4.7 on hand).  I would recomend this fuzz if you haven't built it yet.  Also if anyone has any good mods for this one besides the normal change the in/out caps, i would love to hear them.
Here's my perf layout for it.  i think i have the fuzz lugs 1 and 3 reversed, but i may have just done that in my build.  so there ya go!

A while back I put together this chart.  I can't recommend any mods, but maybe this'll give you some ideas.  The comments to the side were guesses as to how the components affect the sound.

Thanks tcobretti, I saved this to my hard drive, andn didn't even think to look at it before i built it.  i may need to go back out to the garage now!
