Pedal Parts / DIY

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.

Flat 0.01uF (10nF) film capacitor rated for 250V. Made of metallized polypropylene film, this capacitor is a great choice for audio applications. The style of this yellow capacitor is similar in appearance to the flat rectangular Philips 341 output caps found in original Fuzz Face pedals.

Painted phenolic knobs with a set screw and brass insert. These unique knobs closely match the colorful RCA style of knobs used on vintage test equipment, radios, studio consoles and other equipment. They are sometimes referred to as fester knobs. These classic knobs are painted to match the style of the original painted RCA knobs. The paint is a durable chip-resistant coating. The RCA style knobs feature an inlay indicator line. Fits ¼” (6.35mm) pot shafts.

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.

Metal frame AA battery holder. This battery holder fits two AA batteries and is a great option for electronics that run on 3V. It features two solder lugs for connecting wires to the positive and negative ends. The battery holder in the original FZ-1 fuzz pedals looks nearly identical to this holder.

Metal frame AA battery holder. This battery holder fits a single AA battery and is a great option for electronics that run on 1.5V. It features two solder lugs for connecting wires to the positive and negative ends. The battery holder in the original FZ-1A fuzz pedals looks nearly identical to this holder.

PCB and parts kit for the MKIII / MKIV fuzz. This kit includes all of the resistors, capacitors, diodes, potentiometers, and terminal pins used on the included circuit board. The germanium PNP transistors are not included such that customers can select and test their own.

High quality spiral shielded wire with a small outer diameter of 0.138 inches. Both the core wire and spiral shield are tinned copper so soldering is easy. The gray outside jacket and blue core insulation have a similar appearance to the type of wire used in vintage pedals such as the Supa Fuzz, Tone Bender, and Zonk Machine. The core wire is 7 strand 24AWG.

PCB and parts kit for the HS Treble Booster. This is based on the more common silicon version that used a 2N4061 transistor. This kit includes all of the resistors, and capacitors used on the included circuit board. A 2N4061 transistor is included. In addition to the PCB parts, a footswitch, jacks, battery snap, and ground lug are all included in this parts kit.

Slotted dress nut for ⅜”-32 threaded bushing such as standard Switchcraft ¼” jacks and CTS potentiometers. These plated brass nuts add a sleek look to any amplifier, pedal or guitar. This style of nut has a similar look to slotted round nuts found on plexi Marshall amps.

PCB and parts kit for the Iss 2 fuzz built in the style of a BC108 Fuzz Face. This kit includes all of the resistors, capacitors, and transistors used on the included circuit board. For the BC108 style parts kit, a pair of BC108C transistors are included.

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.

Premium 9V battery clip with a rigid plastic frame and I-style wire orientation. This high quality battery snap features nickel-plated phosphor bronze contacts. The six inch leads are 26 AWG stranded wire, prestripped and tinned for an easy installation.

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.
