Members turnitto11 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 New Rehoused Pedal Day!!! My modified GGG fuzz face was my first build and it was incredibly sloppy. So, I got a new enclosure and rewired the whole thing and threw it into this enclosure: Here's the guts for all you pedal nerds: Let me know what you think!!

Members Armchair Bronco Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 What kind of transistors did you use? And why? Also, did the kit come with the round transistor mounts, or did you buy those separately from a 3rd party (like Small Bear)? I've vowed never to do another build without sockets for all my transistors and IC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members turnitto11 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 BC108C work-a-likes from small bear. The stock GGG transistors included in the kit were very low gain and pretty muddy.. So I bought some BC108's, BC108C's, and BC109's from small bear. I like the 8C's the best cuz they were the highest gain and gave me the best sound. They all sounded pretty similiar though, I'm sure in a band situation you'd hear no difference. I also modded the input cap form 2.2uf aluminum electrolyte to .047 metal film. It cuts through a mix better now and made it brighter and less muddy.

Members turnitto11 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Silicon. I like the extra sustain and treble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members claytonjohn18 Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Looks pretty nice. A more jamaican paint job would've been cool though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Armchair Bronco Posted June 21, 2009 Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 I want to build the same kit but with germanium transistors. I'm going after a Dallas Arbiter-like fuzz tone. Think Greg Sage of The Wipers with an SG Classic through a Fuzz Face-type pedal into an Ampeg VT-22 or Gemini I. I'm pretty sure he would have been using a decade-old pedal with germanium transistors...so that's what I want. Anyway, the new enclosure looks much nicer. Where did you source it?

Members turnitto11 Posted June 21, 2009 Author Members Share Posted June 21, 2009 Pedal Parts Plus. It was a pretty tight fit, at least for me because I'm a noob with that size enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
