Nine Volt Nirvana Nitroburner Fuzz
Another from the man, the myth, the legend Joe Gagan. Not much to out there as far as info go, but it’s another fuzz, based on the fuzzface with a bunch of tweaks. The only change I made is i removed the test switch, since I bought anyone wants to wire up a voltmeter in … Read more

Just use the true-bypass wiring diagram in the General Layout Notes and leave out the LED wiring. Then just connect the … Read more
