Sounds pretty good!

Silicon fuzz, true bypass...maybe a little dark but plenty of room for mods and extra knobs.

BBE is redoing their graphics for the Free Fuzz and Green Screamer, so they are unloading old stock for cheap.

Plus it came with a new battery and 200mA power adapter.

Just a heads up.
My tender heart bleeds for you, idiot.

with a name like Free Fuzz, it sounds like you paid $29 to much!    :icon_mrgreen:

How big is the board inside?   I've been looking for a fuzz to stick in my guitar!

It as at all GC for this weekend....some $29 marathon....i plan on buying all of them out here and experimenting.

- 2" x 2.5" board with board mounted pots

- through hole components....what sticks out are the two C550B transistors and the big 1000uf cap at C2.

....this is an excellent candidate to mod b/c there is lots of free circuit board surface area and many ground taps available to splice in components....

- also easy access to pontentiometer solder points as they are board mounted and this have their solder points facing up.

- there is also plenty of vertical clearance between the board and the face of the enclosure to mount up to 3 more pontentiometers directly under the existing two (a row of 3 below the top row of two that are stock). If you use the 9mm pots, maybe up to 5!!!

pretty cool.

I went to one of the GC's here in town but I didn't see any of the BBE stuff  ??? Guess I'll try the other one tomorrow.
