FuzzPup Dist+ /OD250

This is part of our FuzzPup range of circuits designed for 1590A builds. They're not especially difficult, but working in a confined space can be fiddly. Take heed.

Of course there's nothing stopping you using these PCBs for 'standard' builds. They're Direct Connect compatible.

A different PCB is available for 'standard' 1590B builds - see the related products listed below.

NOTE: Images other than the main circuit are to illustrate general FuzzPup V2 build style

Clone of the MXR Distortion+, the 70's workhorse of the rich and famous (well, Randy Rhodes apparently). A few component changes and you have an OD250. Nice.

Keep it stock with just two knobs, or mix things up with multiple clipping options. Two or three way switching is available using dinky little micro toggle switches. We'll supply 1N4148 as standard, with LEDs and BAT46 (similar characteristics to germaniums) with switch options.

Comes with a separate daughterboard to easily mount the pots to the main PCB.

Pots have round shafts so you'll need set-screw fitting knobs. Pot spacing is 18mm.

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 daughterboard, 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.

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

Supplied with 9mm pots (round shaft)
