Karlito Loves Fuzz

A quick and easy fuzz build with a massive sound.

Thick and splattery in the best possible way. This fits into a crack in the tone wall right between the FY2 and the Super Fuzz. That's a massive crack, but this fills it nicely. Similar levels of flat-out, face-off gain, but thicker than the FY2 and not as intense as the SF.

For fans of the above, plus Ampeg Scrambler and Fender Blender. You get the idea.

Board-mounted pots for minimal offboard wiring.

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.
