Blend-a-Fenda

WOW!

Some highly sought-after vintage fuzz tone going down. If you want to get hold of an original - good luck. If you want the reissue, prepare for some ho-hum disappointment. The tone-boost on the new version has so much volume drop its borderline unuseable. So, build your own.

Great Octave-up fuzz (though not as prominent and extreme an octave as some), with a handy clean-blend control to calm things down if necessary.

This is a massive amount of fuzz in a small 1590B enclosure. Boxing it up is a little fiddly, hence the difficulty rating.

Footswitches are board-mounted pots for minimal wiring and easy enclosure mounting.

Formerly known as the Flender, this is in no way related to the pedal offered by RonSound - they had the name first so we agreed to change it.

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 (not footswitches), 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 will not take a battery. Knobs are not included.
