Title: What can I add to the Hot Silicone Fuzz?
Post by: Focalized on September 28, 2008, 11:34:20 PM
First, I wish I built this earlier. Seems to be able to get most of the fuzz sounds from 5-6 of the fuzz faces i've made before. And it works good with Wah.

I put it in a box that had 6 holes for knobs. Now I have 2 left and would like to see what I can add. I thought of a feedback loop and switch like BeavisAudio has for the BYOC Fuzz Face. Or at least a voltage sag.

Anything else worth adding?

How about a switch to toggle between a large and small input cap as on the schematic?
Or a rotary to switch between a few?
The Resistance between the 9v and the circuit should work fine.

It already has a Fat Switch and the two setting are fine. I was thinking of something I can make noise with.

you could add a booster circuit.

That's an idea though there's no room for another stomp switch. I haven't tried a separate boost with it yet.

Vary R9, as noted on the schematic.

What will a pot do to the sound?

  There's at least two ways to find out.
  One involves a schematic, another involves a pot.

Pete, sometimes I have to read your posts 2 or 3 times to understand what you are talking about.

But then sometimes you are crystal-clear with laser precision, haha!  :icon_mrgreen:
