Fuzz Pedal
A custom fuzz effect pedal for guitar — circuit design, build, and enclosure from scratch.
Overview
Building a fuzz pedal to get hands-on with analog audio circuits: gain stages, clipping, and tone shaping. Goal is a usable pedal with a distinct character and a clean build (PCB or vero, plus enclosure).
What I'm doing
- ·Circuit design and schematic (e.g. fuzz face–style or silicon/op-amp variant)
- ·Component selection and sourcing (transistors, op-amps, pots, jacks)
- ·Prototyping and breadboarding before final build
- ·Enclosure, wiring, and finishing the pedal
Tech & tools
Analog circuit design and prototyping; typical parts include transistors (e.g. 2N3904, BC108) or op-amps, passive components, 9V power, and standard pedal hardware (jacks, footswitch, enclosure). You can list specific parts or software (e.g. LTSpice) here as you go.
