Shocktave Fuzz

Nice bit of octave-down fuzz fun from Joe Davisson.

A simple fuzz section feeds into a really clever bit of circuitry that produces an octave-down effect, which sounds a lot like a Blue Box. Remarkably good tracking for such a simple analog device. You can control how much of this is mixed into the fuzz and the result is very useable.

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.
