Build your own Fuzz Face (Part 1) - Germanium, Silicon or both?

Welcome to Tone Twins TV

In this episode we get all fuzzy building our own Fuzz face.

Building a boutique style Fuzz Face is one of the easiest DIY pedal projects but should you go with Silicon or Germanium transistors?

With our design, you don’t have to choose because you can have both in one pedal and you can even combine them.

You can find all the diagrams, close up photos and technical information you need in Huw’s article on Guitar.com - link below:

In this episode we show you how to prepare the enclosure and cover most of the build.

The second episode will cover transistor selection, biasing by ear for optimum tone and there’ll be a demo so you can hear how this fuzzbox sounds...
