Baa Baa Noir

Boutique box based on the Roland Bee Baa Fuzz.

All the same ultra-splattery goodness of the original with four different input caps on a rotary switch, so you can be the master of the bass frequencies being sent forth.

It has a spot on Matt Pike's pedalboard, so if you're into that kind of thing, what's not to love?

Includes a daughterboard for the rotary switch to make assembly a doddle.

And all this in a vertical 1590B you say? Damn straight.

The kit is supplied with vertical-mount pots which have round shafts, so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs. The rotary switch may need to be cut to length.

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