A Pedal is Born

This blog is dedicated to my love of building DIY effects pedals. I have been building for a few years now and I enjoy building for myself as well as doing custom builds for other people. The effect above was one I made for myself and it is basically the Fire Red version of the Big Muff.
Information on how to build one is posted on Freestompboxes.org here: http://freestompboxes.org/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=9319&hilit=fire+red+fuzz
The thing sounds great, the gain and tone controls can dial in anything from a vintage sounding fuzz to a heavy tight distortion, with quite a few nice settings in between. I put together a quick youtube demo running my looper into the fuzz to show some examples: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wen32Wd2E4&feature=player_embedded
