I’ve just ordered all the parts to build a P.U.F.F Pump’d Up Fuzz pedal but am having trouble finding germanium PNP transistors to go in it.

Does anyone know where I could get a couple of these (I need 8) for the build?

Nik.

Thanks mate much appreciated!

Just curious if anyone can recommend a book to learn basic electronics? I mean from an absolute beginner. Been googling and reading reviews and am suffering from info overload. I figured I’d ask here to get any advice.

Thanks in advance.

Nik.

And thanks for the tip there Barry. I’ll grab some liquid flux ASAP.

Well the next build is the Space Modulator 🙂  Just waiting for it to arrive from Musikding. I’ve also bought some VW hubcaps to turn into copies of the Arbiter fuzzface pedals as my brother in law is a guitarist AND a VW freak.

I’ve also started doing some free…Read more

Tonnes of mistakes were made (soldered the IC’s directly to board lol) but got there in the end. Thanks to @brd and @barry for your patience and guidance along the way. Keen to get onto the next one!

She is ugly as hell but she does the job 😉

First is pure curiosity. Which part of the pedal is it interacting with? Volume? The phase effect?

Second is regarding the build. I’m assuming since they are a resistor there is no positive or negative end and they can be installed in either direction? They just need to be faced towards the…Read more

Won’t ever do it again that’s for sure. I’ve made some progress on the board since then. Learning to use my multimeter as I go as well. 🙂

Don’t have replacement parts but I’m thinking I’ll go ahead with the rest of the build and see what happens. Lots of lessons being learned as I go and if it is damaged it’s really only cost me $50. I can live with that.

Just ordered another kit from pedal parts just in case.

I soldered the IC’s directly to the board … then found bases in another bag. Does it matter that they are soldered directly? Do I need to tske them off? Has the heat potentially damaged them and I need to replace them?

That has pretty much filled in the gaps that I needed!

I’ve printed out, read and re-read the guides to make sure I understand what they are telling me. The standing resistors is something I was curious about after seeing a photo of a completed build so thanks for clearing that up.

I’ve already built a $20 kit so am confident…Read more

Like I said it’s my first build (aside from a $20 kit I bought to practice soldering). I’ve been procrastinating with starting because I don’t want to screw it up but have also been watching a TONNE of YouTube videos so think I have the basics down now.

One question I have straight up is the kit I built had a line…Read more

So I’ve got the kit from PedalParts which came with a schematic and I downloaded the info with the drill templates.

This is the first pedal build I’ve ever done. In fact this is only the 2nd PCB that I have ever done and although there is a tonne of info on YouTube etc for how to read schematics etc I’m curious if there is any more info…Read more

I’m new to building pedals and am keen to have a go at the NostalgiTone Phaser Single Build. I can’t seem to find a kit for it only the PCB. There is a build list on the Pedal Parts website but I am not sure if I need just one of each component or more as the build list doesn’t seem to have a quantities column. Any help to make sure I buy…Read more
