Oh, by now you must've guessed I've mixed TOUCH and FUZZ in my reply
.
Anyway, both discrepancies (FUZZ and BIAS) can be easily repaired with small jumpers.
It looks like an silicon Fuzz-Face married with a Big Muff tone stack and a booster. I was pretty close. Good exercise.
Please, make a demo of it - soundclip, youtube, whatever. And don't worry about the musical side, I love watching effects demos, regardless of the demoer guitaristical abilities.
Well, 1st - u kinda mixed touch and fuzz previously, yes. The problem still remains that the fuzz pot has lug 1 to ground in my schematic, I didn't put it in my layout cuz I got it wired to ground offboard, so that's not a problem
2nd - it is a ff + bmp output recovery stage and tonestack with mids control + bias + variable resistance in the input for transparency (touch)
3rd - I will make a demo both with a guitar and with a bass
my friend I'm making the pedal for doesn't enjoy muff-like uber saturated fuzz, so I'm using moderate gain Si transistors, sounds killer with bass, not so sweet with guitar (imho). With Q1 and Q2 hfe around 500 or higher it turns the pedal into a synth (both guitar and bass) at max fuzz settings, and that's the kind of sound that I really like... but I guess the soon to come demo (if I finally manage to build this sucker!!!) is gonna speak for itself
Just one question though that I'd like to ask u guys again: all that GND around the traces, will it not interfere with the signal? I know I'm being paranoid, but I got reasons to be scared of this goddamn ciruit
