The more who buy in, the cheaper it is for everyone

We can discuss mods/additions that people want to add to this. Right now clean boost is probably going to make it.

no rush. if say 6 people buy in and i can fit two per standard size, boards would be $14 + ship to you

All I'd have to do is populate and wire?

I'd be down.

I marked yes. Dependent, of course, on the final price. What size box would be needed? I have a broke-dick boss pedal just collecting dust. Me likey fuzz, me likey clean boost so we're off to a great start.

yea, populate, buy enclosure, drill it, buy parts

Tr00. Id make my own enclosure, methinks.

EDIT: id build them all for you'uns. Wish I could just do one, first, to see if it's feasible and Im not a bumbling retard.

In for one.  I actually looked at etching a pcb for a SuperFuzz, but ended up getting distracted by something else.  So this is swell.

Ship me that guitar, you insipid cur! :) i really want to lay hands on it to see if I have the stuff...

Haha, yessir.  I'm sourcing cardboard to wrap the case in as we speak.

:) you can send it without the case if it so pleases you. It'll be cheaper. Im thinking im going to have to go to extreme lengths to make it live again, due to that epoxy job... it'll definitely be interesting.

I'd buy a board but I'm especially dumb when it comes to this stuff. I'd need help with a parts list (would be awesome if somebody came up with the complete list of parts numbers to order at Small Bear). I would also need explicit instructions -- I can't read a schematic. I'm not even able to read a diagram. I'm hardly worth the trouble for the people who know what they're doing.

I still have two BYOC kits to build, on my shelf. Maybe I can build them first and get an idea WTF I'm doing, in the meantime.

Ya know, I could do some spiffy 0.090 thick aluminum enclosures. Anodized a random color, brush finished type stuff. Unfortunately not as cheap as Pedal Parts but the finish would hold up better. Just get me a general drawing with dimensions. I can handle the engineering of getting it together and all. Just a general cube drawing would help. Maybe outline features you would like to see.

I got the AutoCad skillz, I can draft up plans super easy. Throwing my skill set in the mix.

i would need to put down a proto after i did the boards. need some time tho

Great idea.
I am currently in the proto process of a SF type circuit, so this is right up our alley. Our  proto and pcb are a little tweeked from the standard circuit, so this being a stock SF would be a cool project for me too. Count me in for a few, I can take some slack in the buy in to make it more affordable.

I could add our building skills and facility into the mix and do the assembly for those who need help.
The idea of a custom sheetmetal box is badass.

I'd like to see a non standard shape.. ;)

Im down for assembly work, once the proto is done. If I get a basic layoot, and wiring scheme, I can slam 'em together for the less tech-inclined. Mark, will Jason do smaller runs of pedals? Can he screen onto powdercoating?

I wanna see a rhombus!

Doesnt the SF have a somewhat low output volume? That needs to be addressed...

already addressed in the first post, adding a clean boost, maybe SHO

i seem to be making projects all over the place. well I first have to make a pcb which would be nice if people could double check it. also in order to design pcb I need to know dimensions of enclosure 2

I can already solder and have a soldering kit, I just can't figure out 'what' goes 'where' when looking at a schematic.

Maybe that will change after building a couple of BYOC.

Someone get me a drawing. Pencil sketch would be fine. I can design the enclosure, create solid models of it. Give an exploded assembly drawing with a bill of materials and detail all the parts. Hole layouts the whole 9. Did I mention I'm a mechanical engineer?

Broke, plus I have two fuzzes already.

I can get them anodized blue, orange is a tough one to pull off for my metal finisher. I've had to send it back more often than not when he's done orange. What shade of blue? Get me a sample of the color.

As for the drawings, send them to my email. I believe it's on my profile here. Preferably a DWG format 1:1 model space. Makes my life easier when I go off that.

Bear in mind that there are some limitations with sheet aluminum that thick. I have to use certain bend radii or I risk cracking at the bend. Now that doesn't mean it'll fall apart out of nowhere, just it looks terrible when it cracks on the outside surface of the bend. That's actually a gripe I have with the new Way Huge pedals. The anodized aluminum looks amazing but as soon as I saw the bend radius and how small it was and noticed the stress cracks, I was a little miffed. Nothing makes me nuttier than hack sheet metal work.

Jason might do it, I'd need to ask.  Screeening on powder coat=no problem

I guess I didn't see that it's a modified circuit.
Not so sure I'm into it if it's modded. I am looking more for a un modded clone type thing.

i can make the clean boost option and all mods are just component switching then u can sill build stock circuit

It's still he superfuzz, though, Mark, it's just got dat dere little boost so it's not such a whore when you kick it on and lose all of your volume.

Ah man, you can draw it sharp if ya want. I have to use a minimum 0.060 inside bend radius on 0.090 thick aluminnum sheet and even then it could crack. Then I step it up to 0.070 to reduce it. But if I go to large this enclosure will wind up looking like a rectangular jelly bean. Would locations of jacks and knobs a lot to ask? I can figure it out readily but some guys here might know some magic about placement I don't. I will of course throw a drawing together so you guys can tell me what you like and don't like.

seeing aw switch/jack/knobs make a pedal I was planning on putting em in...I have this upside down cross idea that keeps recurring...THE CRUCIFUZZ hahaha.

Oh man...The Fupa Fuzz, box shaped like a gina. Over the top.

dah!!

I thought if the knobs were mounted horizontally as such, yet facing the user (above the box not on front) it'd be foot adjustable on the fly.

they called it Leeds on BYOC

should call it the Weeds

I'm tellin ya, FUPA FUZZ.

We all know what a FUPA is right?

if yall need gut shots lemme know but Id imagine there are plenty on the net already.
Guys this is my favorite pedal ever made.
I love teh BYOC pedal too but its a bit different than the original.  abit more swoosh and less finesse to it.

the byoc schematic looks like its the same as the original. Parts will change around and different type of parts will affect the sound

yes no doubt. I imagine ther might be a wee bit of component drift too?

The BYOC is more aggressive, and blankets your guitars natural tone more severely than teh univox.
Id describe it as the difference betwen a really good fender tweed clone, and the real thing. The real thing just sounds a little more broken in and nuanced than the clone.

I think the byoc also has an internal triim pot, so adjusting that could account for the slight diff in tones as well I suppose. I had to set the trim pot when I built the pedal, and I dndt have the univox for comparison at that time..

I'd be in for someone building one for me.  One thing I'd say is that there should be a volume boost.  On my Wattson Fuzz the mid-scooping is so dramatic that it sounds like a volume drop even when it's a slight boost(I talked to the guy builidng them and got to try one of his vintage units...his are very accurate...so he built a separate clean boost in there to match volume levels). I'd maybe build one if someone could source all of the parts.  I don't have near the DIY spirit to do all of that. 

adding a clean boost is pretty easy, any JFET or FET booster are simple like a SHO for some pretty heavy boosting.

I will add that into the pcb as an optional mod (hopefully)

slightly off topic: I find the jfet boost to be a little boxey. Like it's not refined as much in the eq dept. as other boosts???

jfet boosts tend to color the sound more from my experience while FET boosters can be made to be very colorless and transparent

Oh, the one I'm running is a hybrid GE/jfet. In the GE treble boost mode, I can achieve grit, treble boost, and bass cut (which I like). In the hybrid mode, I get less grit, less low-end roll off, and a boxey sounding boost that sounds like the input sensitivity is set too high. I guess that would be the coloring effect?

could be overdriving it even with the guitar level signal

that might be it! Either way I don't use it to boost. The GE side is preferable.

probably why a Super Hard On is a better boost here.

I'm in if Sunn will put mine together and I can pay with PayPal.

Are good.  But I am a pervert.

Well I aint coming up with anything worth a shit that doesn't already effectively exist. It's like...buy the stock thing for $10 that we know works great, or actually have to do the labor. The crucifuzz makes me laugh though.

dont think a box like that will work well, need more space.

think mxr box with arms, its not to scale or anything

funny thing about the pussy shaped FUPA box (besides I just got to type FUPA box) is there used to be huge cans of tuna made that shape. Jokes everywhere

I'd be in, if someone would build it with the enclosure and everything. I built the Leeds Fuzz, but I guess I screwed up something because it's not working anymore and I haven't gotten around to even trying to fix it. So I'd rather pay someone else to put it all together. :)

The jacks in the leeds fuzz are vey close together and can touch if rotated slightly by accident.
This will cause the effect to stop working. Open her up, separate the jacks and re-tighten the jack nuts.
It happen4ed to mine and was a super easy fix.
See if that fixes it for you.

Count me in. I've also built the Leeds, but if there's a better version, I'm interested. What's everyone going to use for trannies? I've got a few 2SC828s, but the Leeds used the 828s as well. I'm thinking of socketing trannies and diodes on the board, or switching between pairs of 1N456 and 1N34s. I'd love to find a way to love this pedal. It's fun, but it's wacky.

we can make them socketable, i want to make the socket as small as possible so as to conserve room

dont hate me
