Hemmo/Tim Escobedo – Bazz Fuss

Here’s a DIY Classic, tweak the diodes, tweak the input and output caps, tweak everything. It’s a super simple build and it creates some great tones.

Here’s another version from Homewrecker.com:

with an interesting diode comparison chart:

diode(s)
measured voltage
notes
1N34A .220v decent, but output is too low
1N914 .570v stock version, great fuzz
1N34A, 1N914 .780v a bit more defined, a bit louder
(2) 1N34A, 1N914 1.0v almost a hybrid fuzz/distortion
orange LED 1.8v a hybrid distortion/overdrive
