Merky Fuzz

An absolute beast of classic 60s-style garage fuzz - a hairy box of grunge based on the Fuzz Rite.

Two simple controls - Volume (self explanatory) and Texture. The latter lets you blend in/out the second of three gain stages, taming the tones if you don't want it full-throttle.

Equally at home spitting out Ron Asheton riffs or getting down and doomy. Wind back your guitar volume and open up a whole new range.

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.

Enclosure (pre-drilled) is available as an option 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.
