AstroTone Fuzz - Sam Ash Fuzzz Box

Classic fuzz tones, and with original boxes going for over $3k it'd be silly not to give it a whirl.

Kit includes parts for the original circuit as well as some extra bits to make a thicker, 'improved' version as sold by a boutique maker. With a twist of the tone knob you can get hold of that original, thin tone, but the improved circuit adds a bunch more sonic options.

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs.


If you want the PCB without parts there's a link for that at the bottom of the page.

Partial kit: PCB, all board-mounted components, pots.

Full kit: As above, plus footswitch and appropriate daughterboard/components for your selected bypass type (see Downloads section for details of those), jack sockets, DC socket, battery snap, hook-up wire, LED.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option with full kits, and can take a battery if desired with footswitch positioned 22mm higher, closer to the controls. Knobs are not included.

Builds are only available with full kits including enclosures. Please choose appropriate knobs.

Top dawg! 5 product stars
"This is a GREAT kit - very easy to assemble and fit into the enclosure with the board mounted pots. I built mine with the "boutique manufacturer" tone mods (parts were included with the kit) and it sounds GREAT! I a-b'd this against one of the boutique clones (because I'm all Hart, Man ;-) )and it stood up very well indeed. Mine came with metal 2n2222'S for extra mojo. SUPER easy build and all the parts were high quality. Really nice pedal with a sort of overdrive-meets-fuzz vibe. Cleans up brilliantly, sounds great with single coils and humbuckers alike, works very well with Fender-y amps too. Stacks well with other pedals although it doesn't like buffers upstream too much. Very believable tone, makes a lot of op-amp drives sound a bit lame in comparison! If you play any kind of 60's 70's rock/blues rock related stuff you'll like this!" Paul Flieshman - 05 April 2013
