PCB and parts kit for the Iss 2 fuzz built in the style of a BC183KA Fuzz Face. This kit includes all of the resistors, capacitors, and transistors used on the included circuit board. For the BC183KA style parts kit, a pair of BC183A transistors are included.

Polyester Film Capacitor used in MOD® Pedal Kits. Rated at 0.047µF 50V. Tolerance: 10%. Operating temperature: -40 C to +85 C

Iss. 1 fuzz PCB made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This PCB is a recreation of the iss. 1 circuit board found in classic Fuzz Face pedals. When drawing the layout, multiple originals were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces are gold plated providing protection from corrosion indefinitely. This classic board fits the mounting holes on both original and reproduction Fuzz Face enclosures.

2N1309 PNP germanium transistors. The 2N1309 is a popular PNP for fuzz pedals and other effects. This transistor is in a TO-5 package with long leads commonly found on germanium transistors.

Diecast Aluminum Chassis Box, 7.40" x 4.72" x 1.30". Six included machine screws secure lid. Add 0.16" to enclosure depth for lid.

Raised plastic chickenhead knob with brass insert and set screw. 1.20" in length. Davies 2300 clone.

PCB mount terminal pin made of tinned brass. This pin fits 0.064” mounting holes and can be swage or solder mounted. The pin diameter is 0.05” and has a total length of 0.25” when mounted. Great for connecting offboard wiring by soldering directly to the pin or using an appropriate connector.

The BC183 is a general purpose NPN transistor in a TO-92 case. The BC183 is commonly used in fuzz pedals and has a reputation as a warm sounding silicon transistor for fuzz. The BC183 is available in three different gain ranges: BC183A, BC183B, and BC183C. Type hfe (IC=2mA, VCE=5V, f=1KHz) BC183A 125-260 BC183B 240-500 BC183C 450-900

5W zener diodes that are great for use in tube amps. These are commonly used to drop B+ voltages for tube modification compatibility or to create low power modes for the amp. A zener is a semiconductor device that, above a certain reverse voltage(the zener value) has a sudden rise in current. If forward biased, the diode is an ordinary rectifier. When reverse biased, it exhibits a sharp break in its current-voltage graph. Voltage across the diode remains essentially constant for any further increase of reverse current.

Phillips panhead machine screw, 6-32, zinc. Phillips panhead machine screw, 4-40, zinc. Designed to go through a hole or nut that is pre-tapped to form a mating thread for the screw. Has a general purpose bearing area and can be substituted in most applications for round, truss, or binding heads. Phillips drive is the most common drive used and is designed to "camout" when the screw reaches optimum tightness, thus preventing damage to the screw head.

Mounting bracket for vintage fuzz PCBs. This bracket is an exact replica of the bracket found in the Italian made Vox Tone Bender V828 pedals. The mounting width for the board is 1.35” which fits the P-PC-FUZZ-JEN, P-PC-BEND-MKII-BRN, and any other vintage spacing (0.15”) stripboard. The PCB mounting holes are threaded for M3 screws (sold separately). The two potentiometer holes are spaced 1.95” center to center and fit potentiometers with ⅜” bushings or smaller.

Screw mounted charge pump PCB for positive ground effects. This small PCB provides -9V when used with a standard +9V power supply. This is a great option for positive ground effects such as vintage fuzz pedals. The PCB has a low profile design and is a simple addition to any build using a standoff to mount the board. This board is compatible with the MAX1044, TC1044S, TC7660S, and LT1054 charge pump ICs.

Single row of 5 U-style terminals on a black board. The U-style terminal strips are spaced 8.3mm apart allowing for more densely populated point-to-point builds. The boards are 0.063” thick.
