Title: Fuzz Tip
Post by: jjucius on April 11, 2004, 04:38:55 PM
Was drivin me nuts that i could not get my fuzz to work. (just build the neovibe w/no problems) found the prob. i never checked that well when i connected the pots for the values. i had a 500k for the volume but i had a 100k for the gain :oops:  i double checked my order and i ordered a 1k but they sent a 100k insted. check all your parts when they come in before you start building.now that i switched pots it sounds great.  :D

rrrrrrrrr! Yeah, I hate that when it happens.

Usually it's the most important weird part that gets mixed up.

Glad it worked out!!!!!

I try to follow the carpenter's rule of measure three times, cut once. Every time I neglect to do that it opens the door for the wrong value to get inserted. Done it plenty too. ;)

Congrats on your build!

Take care,

For the power supply, you could use a well-regulated 9V wall-wart, or a 12V unregulated wall wart and put a 9V regulator in the enclosure (look up applications of the LM7809 for clues about doing this).
