Chestnut Mutt Bass Fuzz

Lots of low-end fuzz fun.

This dirty dog has all you bass playing fuzz freaks need. Independent levels for Clean and Dirty signal let you decide how much of your throb you want to retain. Drive control pushes the dirt section harder the more you crank it, and we have a Gate control to dictate how much signal the dirt needs before it passes it. Useful for keeping noise at bay or creating interesting synthy effects.

Hard and Soft fuzz modes give you two different feels, from square wave synth to 'normal' fuzz.

We've included an optional switch for Madbean's Mid control, for tone cut/focus on the dirty signal. Up to you, but it's only one more switch... Where's the harm?

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.
