Pedal Parts / DIY

New old stock radial capacitors from Philips with 10mm lead spacing. The KT-347 series capacitors feature the same lacquer coating as the Mullard / Philips mustard caps found in classic Marshall amps and many vintage pedals. These NOS caps feature a low-inductive wound cell of metal foil and a polyethylene terephthalate film.

High-quality Bourns 3362P trimpots. These single-turn cermet trimmers can be found in countless guitar pedals and synthesizer modules. Sealed trimmers are built with an o-ring seal to prevent entrance of moisture and serve as a mechanical restraint to prevent unwanted wiper movement. ±10% tolerance.

MKIII & MKIV fuzz circuit board 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 board is a recreation of the circuit board found in Vox Tone Bender MKIII pedals. The board is styled after the non-reverse version that can also be found in the Park Fuzz Sound, Rotosound Fuzz, and the MKIV Tone Bender. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. This board uses a unique PCB mount potentiometer R-VOMUP-100KL. A matching enclosure P-HROTO-1 can be used with the board to complete a vintage style fuzz build. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

This nickel-plated steel adapter sleeve converts a 4mm shaft potentiometer to 6mm shaft, allowing for 6mm knobs to be used on a wider range of potentiometers. An additional 6mm to 6.35mm adapter R-VADAPT-25 can then be used to fit 1/4” knobs (sold seperately).

Parts Kit - Eyelet-Rite Fuzz Pedal, Germanium Version, Premium Build PCB and parts kit for the Eyelet-Rite fuzz pedal.

Clear dust cover for use with 16mm potentiometers. These covers slide over the back of the pot covering the holes and gaps to help prevent dust from accumulating inside avoiding potential repairs and replacing down the road. These covers are a great choice for tight builds to help insulate the PCB or other parts from the backs of potentiometers. The dust cover is made of clear hard plastic and is easy to install on Alpha 16mm pots.

New old stock radial capacitors from Siemens with 10mm lead spacing. These 0.22uF film capacitors are rated for 250V. The construction matches the style found in vintage equipment such as the MKIII and MKIV Tone Bender pedals.

Chassis ground washer for 15/32” hardware such as footswitches, full-size Carling toggles, and Switchcraft toggles. These grounding lug washers have a 0.48” inner diameter and also work with M12 hardware. The ¼” tab can be used with quick disconnects or can be directly soldered to wire.

V828 Italian fuzz circuit board 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 board is a recreation of the circuit board found in the V828 Vox Tone Bender pedals. The board is styled after the Italian made version which was also sold as the Jen Fuzz. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. This board uses unique PCB mounted tags for the offboard wiring. A combination of S-HEYE-A eyelets and S-H137 solder tags (each sold separately) can be used to approximate the originals. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

TC7660S charge pump voltage converter in an 8 pin DIP package. The TC7660S device is a pin-compatible replacement for the industry standard 7660 charge pump voltage converter. It converts a +1.5V to +12V input to a corresponding -1.5V to -12V output using only two low-cost capacitors, eliminating inductors and their associated cost, size and electromagnetic interference (EMI). Added features include an extended supply range to 12V, and a frequency boost pin for higher operating frequency, allowing the use of smaller external capacitors. The on-board oscillator operates at a nominal frequency of 10 kHz. Frequency is increased to 45 kHz when pin 1 is connected to V+.

Supa Fuzz style circuit board 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 board is a recreation of the circuit board found in the SupaFuzz pedal. The board is styled after the first version that Marshall produced which featured a printed circuit rather than a stripboard construction. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

Original Dunlop snap-in, black battery box with snap-closed swing door for effects pedals using one 9 volt battery (accessed via the bottom of the pedal). Cutout dimensions: 2.46" x 1.27", box depth: 0.70", snaps over a panel thickness of about 0.04". Used on Dunlop Cry Baby Wah Wah GCB95 and many Dunlop effects pedals.

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.
