Buzz Box Custom Fuzz

[Barracuda]

It took me long enough, but here's my first finished design from top to bottom. Quite a simple schematic, not particularly based on anything and I'm pretty happy with it!
See what you think!

Can you post the schematic?

I can't open the vid, using Firefox and "HTML 5 not supported"...

"your browser does not support any of the formats we are trying to push this week " .... or something - Vivaldi V1.7 on Linux.

didn't you put any components in the box?

I do like the decal

I downloaded the video and watched it.  Pretty cool, very fuzzy.  I liked the delay into fuzz sound.

Post some schematics! :-)

Haha, unfortunately I'll be selling this pedal, already had good interest from retailers. So I don't think it would be a great idea for me to post the schematic. But appreciate the enthusiam

Hey Barracuda,

I think the assumption that have the schematic be public would hurt your sales is incorrect. The people who are able to build a fuzz themselves are not usually those who go buy them. I personally think the whole secrecy about schematics is a bit silly. I don't mean to pressure or shame you into releasing something you do not want to, just saying the whole idea that only secret schematics make commercially successful pedals seems unfounded to me. The argument for keeping them secret would work if the schematic would be extraordinarily innovative but lets be real, no-one has really done anything actually new since (at least) the 70s when it comes to analog audio distortion devices. Its a bit like in the music industry. Sure, the argument that downloads hurt sales is true to a certain extent but not nearly as much as the industry makes it out to be. And until we all have MUCH better 3D printers, building a fuzz takes a bit more skill than downloading mp3s. So if you want to keep it secret, that's fine, but in the end having some people here copying the circuit and giving you reviews and creating exposure might be a good, not a bad thing for selling it to the non-soldering musicians. Just my 2 cents. I release all my designs hoping no-one takes unfair advantage because I learned how to do these things because others have done before as I do now.

What is more important for sales (besides advertising) in the end is (outward) design of the boxes, and yours is awesome! Really cool, although I would move the tiny switch to the top of the big (fuzz?) knob, out of harms (or foots, in this case) way, at least for a for-sale pedal. Sounds great too.

Cheers,
Andy

Oh...dude... not good! 

I think your intentions aren't according to this forum's spirit.
Anyway... it's ok: I respect that
