Wee Beaver

This is a great fuzz from El Musico Loco which is no more (RIP).

Loosely based around the Regulus VIII Os Mutantes fuzz. This does away with the fuzz control, with it maxed out all the time, so all you have to play with other than volume is the Contour pot. Believe me, that's enough. It's glorious. Based on the Big Muff Pi tone control, but this goes beyond. Fat and bluesy fuzz fug, screaming top end fizz, nasal midrange roar. It's all there.

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.
