Tremendous Fuzz

pgorey · January 15, 2017, 01:52:42 PM

Hope this doesn't offend anyone too much but here is a pic of my new Tremendous Fuzz design. I love how it sounds. Yuge, bigly dirt created

Chin = Gain
Yuge = Volume
Send Tweet = On/ Off true bypass

No battery power, transformer input only.

Offensive?- no way!

Are both eyes red?

Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Yup, two red LEDs in there. Was low on parts so one is a larger diffused 8mm and one is 5mm clear. The guts are looking rough but it sounds pretty good for how simple it is. I'm looking forward to building more! Tube Screamer is complete but need to design the graphics and drill / prep the enclosure.

That fuzz is yuuuge! I mean yuuuge! It has the greatest knobs and the greatest graphics. The best graphics and knobs. Yuuuge sound. It will be played by the most tremendous player producing the greatest sound. I mean the best. People think they're good but this fuzz will be the best and show them what best really means.

Hey.. this stuff kinda writes itself!

I think, and they all say this, they do, that the volume could never go loud enough. never.

what did you name the in/out jacks?

in = CIA briefing
out = garbage

in = killer
out = mad dog?

They are actually not labeled yet

I thought about this for a while and may just leave as is but open to more suggestions! I wish I had used "bigly" for the gain but I can make a 2nd. I made up the perf board on the fly when soldering because it's such a simple circuit. It works but is uglier than anything I have ever seen so I wouldn't be opposed to building another with a tone stack as well.

input = son-in-law
output = brexit (or impeach)

and the DC? the drain (.... for the swamp).

kaycee · January 18, 2017, 06:21:41 PM

are you going to get the Mexicans to pay for the parts?

GiovannyS10 · January 18, 2017, 10:02:01 PM

Hahahah! Send Tweet was the best.

I could be wrong, but I think he's saying "big league" not "bigly"

pgorey · February 15, 2017, 08:25:03 PM

You're right but I like making fun of the idea that it sounded like bigly - also, the use of big league in that context was pretty strange.

thermionix · February 15, 2017, 09:20:56 PM

I don't recall the context, but everydamnthing is pretty strange these days, no?

pgorey · February 16, 2017, 12:40:37 AM

Strange is a good way to put it. I have a fair amount of anxiety about what the future holds but believe in American democracy and when things get to be too much, I do a good job self medicating with hobbies like music and pedal building

Thankful for outlets like this to take negative energy and flip it into something positive.

"Send Tweet"

Benoi31 · November 04, 2017, 11:50:42 AM

Yes that "send tweet" button is awesome, love it!!

Here in the UK I'd like to think many of us echo your wonderful take
