Tools, Tones and Toys for Guitarists
From the source: At last… a classic fuzztone for bass! This transistorized beauty uses germanium diodes for soft knee clipping and actually boosts the bottom to give you awesome sustain with rich creamy fuzztone. Wonderful overtones and plenty of thump to boot.
Here’s an interesting one from Frantone for Fuzz Friday. Think the first half of a Big Muff into an LM386. Schematic over on FSB here.
Verified by Craig *Edit 200920* A small update, the schematic was missing a 1uF coupling cap between Fuzz lug 2 and the 10k resistor that connects to the base of Q2. Layout is updated to match the updated schematic.
Happy Fuzz Friday, everyone! Got a few requests for this one. It’s a bit like a fuzz in the way a Big Muff is a fuzz–bridges the gap between fuzz and distortion. And it’s somewhat similar to a Big Muff with two gain stages pushing a BMP tone stack. Schematic can be found over on FSB.
