Guitar Fuzz Effect - diode replacement |
Friday, April 03, 2015 4:00:04 AM |
This is a great circuit - thanks for sharing. Replaced the diodes with 1N4001 silicones and tried it out with a Telecaster-Bogner -setup. Now we're at the roots of rock. Thank you. |

The frequency range is basically controled by the signal capacitors C2 and C3. If a trebley sound is wanted their capacitance should be reduced, p.e. 10nF to 20 nF on both positions will make an electric guitar better suited to solo work. The Treble Boosters use even lower values for C2, like 6.8 - 3.3 - 2.2 nF. For bass guitars IŽll probably add a small value capacitor (1 - 2.2 nF) between pin 6 of the opamp to ground or between pin 2 to ground. Another way to make the effect bassier is adding a small value capacitor on the negative feedback loop, i.e. on parallel with R4. |

To control the amount of fuzz effect |

Replace R4 FOR 1M POT and you will be able to control the amount fuzz effect! |

it sounds too smaller and quiter ?
shall i take a OP circuit? |

Hello,
I build the circuit but it doesn't work... Everything looks good (tensions, ...) but I don't have sound. Is someone can help me ? Thanks |

I was able to build the Fuzz Effect circuit by connecting the output (pin 6) to the input (pin 2) of an LM386. I built a basic LM386 circuit (as noted on the datasheet), nothing fancy. I didn't have the correct values for Aaron's circuit (specifically diodes), but the sound is fair. I plan to build in a box. An all in one fuzzy guitar amp. |

Any chance I could use a 1N4742A zener instead? Thanks! |

I'm fresh whit op-amps why does 9v go straight to ground by passing R1,R2 resistors? |

Hi, I'm building my own bass and I want to have a built-in fuzz effect. Would this circuit be any good for a bass or would i need to replace a few components with different values to get a more bass-suited sound? |

PFFF, is not work ! I've make this circuit... maybe is my fault.
Is need an amplifier for electric guitar ? I have made this circuit and then e've connect the circuit to my guitar and to battery ( 9V) . Can anyone give me a schema with the connections to this circuit ? (maybe this is the problem) |
