    Hi Folks,

    I’ve had some fun building the Industrial Fuzz and GBOF Fuzz Face as my intro to pedal building. For my next fuzz build, I’d love to add a buffer that will play nicely with my Dunlop GCB95 Wah in front, and also have the option to switch the buffer on or off.

    I can see in the shop there’s a 3PDT Buffer Board and also a Buff n Blend. Wondering if either of these is advisable for what I want to achieve and how I might implement a switch to make the buffer optional?

    This Youtube vid also shows a buffered pedal that allows the buffer to be fine-tuned to match the wah. Any tips on implementing an external pot (or internal trimpot) to achieve this would also be appreciated 🙂

    Thanks!!

    Instead of a “buffer” of any sort, I’ve found an excellent solution from AMZ – a “Guitar Pickup Simulator” . . . .

    I’ve built them into my fuzzes . . . .

    And built them as stand alone pedals . . . .

    Thanks, this is great!!

    Am I correct in assuming if the volume control were used here before a fuzz it would be like using the volume control on a guitar (dimed for full fuzz sound, and rolled back to clean up)? Or does it behave different in practice?

    Nate – the pot you see on the stripboard is actually a “tone” control.

    The “Volume” pot seen on the FuzzBucker pedal on the right acts just like the Volume control on a guitar.

    The article in the link I posted explains both pedals in detail.
