ETI Fuzztone


Apparently there was some slight issues with the schematic above, namely the R6 was not correctly placed - that had been corrected in the next ETI issue back in 1993. The layout seems correct to me.. :)

  3. Damn right. There can never be too many fuzz pedals around !!!
    It's better to burn out than to fade away. There can't be only one.

  4. Any luck on this one? I have checked and double checked every connection, component, solder, wire etc. I get loud, bright fuzz but no volume or sustain control.

    Any thoughts? I'd love to know that it works for everyone else. Only then will I be able to see the stupid mistake I've made.

    1. Checked it against the schematic, and i think the sustain pot may be in reverse, but i can't spot anything else...

    2. Why don't you put the ground on the opposite side and move the Volume 1 connection to where ground connected? Saves a link and remains within the criteria of your OCD I think :o)

    3. Noooo! Then volume or power wires would be in opposite sides of the board :P

  8. This fuzz was designed by Dan Coggins of Lovetone and Dinosaural fame.
