Welcome to the Revolution

Hi there, welcome to my blog - La Revolution Deux. It's an odd name - but I like it! Here you will find all the info on my various DIY Guitar effects builds, amplifiers and guitars. Everything from a humble Ibanez tubescreamer to the holiest KLON Overdrive.

You may also find a few effects builds that I am looking to move on - usually in exchange for other effects/gear/cash. You can always check my ebay account to see what I've got up for grabs.

Have fun, enjoy the blog - Fred Briggs :-)

Zvex - Fuzz Factory

[Lots of pretty custom shop Fuzz Factories]

For mere completeness - and to stop me getting so many emails ;-) Here is the schematic a vero board layout for the ever famous Zvex Fuzz Factory, crazy fuzz sounds galore. And, a few actually useful ones too (If you tweak for long enough - don't forget to write them down!)! Check out the demos on the zvex website: http://zvex.com/fuzz.html

Here's a demo video of the Fuzz Factory in action:



For the schematic (Very easy to read and generate your own layout for) see here: http://solgrind.wordpress.com/2008/02/04/zvex-fuzz-factory/

I know he's denied permission to repost but the link isn't always active - here it is to make sure it doesn't disappear (Sorry Martin, I'll get round to redrawing it myself soon!);

  3. Do the AC-128s need to be matched? (Apologies, if thats a DUH question, Im not aware what 'matched transistors' means)

  4. Hi--

    I'm an amateur electronic hobbyist and was wondering where a 3PDT switch and power indicator LED would be soldered to in correspondence to your veroboard layout.

    I would greatly appreciate any feedback.

  6. Hi, Im loooking forward to trying this! Im fairly new to the whole deal - which way round should the 2 AC128 transisters go (which is the C, B and E)? thanks!

  7. It depends on the make of transistor you get firstly, there is usually some marking for the emitter, a red dot or tag.
