Fuzz Nutz

Supposedly a favourite of Mr Billy Gibbons, so who are we to argue with this one?

Essentially a silicon tone bender, tweaked to reduce the gain for a nice crunchy effect with the fuzz or guitar vol wound back, getting into smooth Fuzz Face sounds with the gain up high.. The results are very pleasing, and it really does polish up well with the guitar knob.

The TEX control helps match it up with your guitar/amp combo, and is very effective.

Supplied with board-mounted pots with 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.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is only available 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.
