Kay Fuzztone style pedal using a Radioshack Fuzz and the housing from a 1972 DeArmond volume pedal.

Hi blooze_man,

The DeArmond pedal is superb specimen - but what is the role of the geared pot ? Fuzz ? Volume ? An what is that funny spring intended for ?

I didn't knew that RadioShack was building fuzz circuits (but there is no more Tandy RadioSchack Archer store in Europe for a long time...).

Anyway good, indeed,

A+!

Thanks man. The geared pot is Gain. The knob up top is volume. The spring is so that you don't disengage the pedal so easily. Before I added the spring, I kept hitting the switch on accident.

Could probably have been tighter but this was my first attempt at DIYLC
