The Germaniac Fuzz

Submitted by erich on Fri, 02/27/2009 - 00:25

I have a mess of parts to build various booster / distortion / fuzz pedals, and finished my first one. It's actually based off of a Rat circuit with some E-mods, and it will fuzz your face off.  I call it The Germaniac Fuzz, in honor of some of the germanium components used.  Components include mylar caps, silver mica caps, metal film resistors, silver bearing solder, a Sprague Orange Drop, an LM308 IC, Mullard OC44 germanium transistor, a couple germanium diodes and more.  Listen to some samples, from low gain to high gain, in no particular order.
