Bracket - for PCB mounting, replica of Vintage Fuzz
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.

Blind Rivet - Dome Head, Steel, ⅛ in. diameter
Package of 12
Steel shank / steel mandrel blind rivets with a ⅛” diameter. Blind rivets, also referred to as pop rivets, can be used to join or fasten two components without requiring access to the backside of the panel or chassis. The installation is quick and results in a joint that can be stronger and tighter than a screw. These rivets are useful for securing tube sockets or other hardware such as battery holders on stompboxes.

Transistor Set - tested and selected for Fuzz Face, 2N1309, PNP, Germanium
This is a set of two 2N1309 germanium transistors that have been hand-selected to work in the germanium Fuzz Face circuit. Also included are 4 metal film resistors to use in the circuit. In most cases, the values have been modified from the stock values slightly to ensure that the collector of Q2 biases to roughly -4.5V. A data sheet containing the schematic and the resistor values is included so that you can use your own resistor type if you would prefer. There is a range of bias voltages that can sound nice in a Fuzz Face, and voltages in original units varied. These transistors have been tested with bias voltage, sound, and noise level in mind. Note that due to a variety of factors such as battery/PSU voltage, temperature, and component tolerance, the voltage on the collector of Q2 may not measure at exactly -4.5V, but it should be close in a properly-built circuit.
