Soul Sonic Shizzle Clip

[soulsonic]

I've uploaded a clip of my Shizzle fuzz pedal in the gallery. It's kinda long and boring, but you hear pretty much every different sound you can get out of it.
You can find it here:

If anyone is interested, the schematic is here:

Plenty of useful sounds in the Shizzle, nice.

Yes, that sounds good.
I like the Thin quacky tones as well.
It seems that the distortion fuzz switch is just cutting some fizz while making the coupling cap slightly larger.
Does this make a big difference in the sound?

Also, What's the S.O.T> stand for at R6?
Nice!

SOT means "Select on Test". I clip a pot in there and adjust until it doesn't gate and then put in the closest approximate resistor. It usually ends up being between 10K and 20K.

The Distortion/Fuzz control has the bigger cap with no cap to ground in "Fuzz" mode. In "Distortion" mode it has the smaller cap with the small cap to ground to roll of the lows and a little bit of highs. It makes a very large difference in both the tone and the amount of distortion the circuit produces. In Distortion mode it can get some dynamic crunchy sounds, and in Fuzz mode it's total square wave.

I plan on doing an all-silicon version sometime.

it sounds like it covers a lot of really good sounds/tones. i'll have to do one up soon.

Hi,

I would be interested by the femto buffer in order to put one in my fuzz factory, but it doesn't appear to be in the schematic, am I wrong?
