Here is another build. I called it the Wooly Mammoth. I changed the .1uF cap to a .022uF cap to add some bass.



Here are some crappy clips. Ibanez S470 through Marshall JCM2000 DSL50 and a 1960A cab. Sure SM57 mic and a Tascam US122 USB interface. I got a rack mount digital EQ in the loop. The only other effect is a Line6 Echopark delay. Gotta have delay with the fuzz to give that stadium effect. (you can hear the humm from all the ac adaptors I need to get rid of. I had the fuzz at 100% except for the Lemon Song, I cut it to 50%.
Bridge of Sighs

Lemon Song

wouldn't changing the cap from .1 to .022 make the sound more trebly?

No. A smaller value added more bass. There is a post here some where explaining it.

Not to be confused with the Zvex wooly mammoth, of course! Sounds great!

Shit! I thought it was origional! Now I need a new name.

Don't know what to tell ya... uh... Bass Fuzz? Lowdown Fuzz? Bottom Fuzz?

Woah! I just noticed how easy and simple the bender clone is.

Its an easy build and it sounds really good. I didn't like it at first. I am using the stock tubes in my Marshall. The power amp tubes are =C= which I really like. I got some JJs on the way for the preamp. My cab is a Marshall1960A with G12Ts so the amp is kinda trebley so I changed the cap to give more bass. Now it sounds really good. I need to get a Voodoo Pedal Power 2+ to kill the hum. Way too many pedals.

That sounds great! I built the fuzz face, but I think I'm gonna order three pedals if keith does the buy 3 get a bender free deal because that sounds great.

You must get some really nice "intentional" feedback through that cab.


I mostly use 1 x what ever open back combos. But that's one thing I miss about the big cabs....the killer feedback.

I get wicket feedback with the overdrive, boost and fuzz. I love it! Even at low volumes.

yeah, ur right, took a second to realize I do that mod alot.

Anyone ever try adding a really high value? Treblefuzz?

Oooh, I smell a rotary switch mod!

Here's a fuzz I used to sell before BYOC. It had a 4 way rotary switch. It went from very dark and bassy(stock fuzz face) to treble boost territory.


Rotary switches rock! Always have a few on hand if you're gonna do mods.

I've been thinking about building a Screamer with sym/asym and a rotary switch of cap values. This seems cool, too.

love those 'cheese wedge' enclosures !
