Chassis - Mod®, Shatterbox, Pre-drilled, Gold
Pre-drilled vintage style pedal enclosure by Mod® Electronics. The shape of this folded and riveted steel enclosure is inspired by the original HS Shatterbox enclosure and is pre-drilled to match the original layout of the Shatterbox pedal. The metallic gold powder coat provides a close match for the original appearance but will hold up much better than the paint found on the vintage pedals. The layout is intended for two pots, two jacks, and two footswitches, so many fuzz varieties can be built in this enclosure. The Shatterbox fuzz enclosure features a removable bottom plate where a battery holder can be mounted. Two mounting screws for the bottom plate are included. Note: Footswitch, pots, jacks, knobs, battery holder, board, and board mounting hardware are pictured in photos for demonstration purposes, but sold separately. Our replica Shatterbox style boards (P-PC-SBOX) are a very close match to those used in the original Shatterbox and mount perfectly in this enclosure.

Trimmer - 3386P, Single Turn, Top Adjust Knob, PCB Mount
High-quality 10kΩ 3386P trimpots with a knob. These 3386P style of single-turn cermet trimmers can be found in countless guitar pedals and synthesizer modules. Sealed trimmers are built with an o-ring seal to prevent entrance of moisture and serve as a mechanical restraint to prevent unwanted wiper movement. ±10% tolerance. The top knob is useful for pedals and other builds where internal settings such as transistor bias can be adjusted to taste affecting the overall tone or functionality of the effect. The addition of the knob allows for fine adjustments to be made by hand.

Integrated Circuit - SSI2190, 6-into-1 Voltage Controlled Mixer, Sound Semiconductor
Based on the new Sound Semiconductor OTA circuit, the ProCircuit™ SSI2190 mixes six inputs into a single high compliance output. Each channel has differential voltage inputs with current-mode linear control. In addition to the obvious signal mixing, the SSI2190 can be creatively employed for phase correction, voltage controlled equalizers, pole mixing, and whatever else you can dream up. Patent Pending The SSI2190 is a six-into-one voltage controlled mixer in a compact 24-lead SSOP package, based on a new-generation Operational Transconductance Amplifier (OTA) developed by Sound Semiconductor. The high-compliance current output allows easy paralleling of multiple SSI2190s. Each input channel has differential voltage inputs and a cur- rent-mode linear control input. This combination results in low distortion and control feedthrough, along with wide dynamic range. The SSI2190 makes mixing of audio signals – as well as control voltages – a simple endeavor.

PCB - Vintage Style Circuit Board, Iss. 2 Fuzz
This PCB is a recreation of the iss. 2 circuit board found in classic Fuzz Face pedals. The iss. 2 version uses NPN silicon transistors. When drawing the layout, multiple originals were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces are tinned providing protection from corrosion and making soldering easier. This classic board fits the mounting holes on both original and reproduction Fuzz Face enclosures. For a phenolic substrate version of this board, see P-PC-FUZZ-ISS2-BRN. For the germanium iss. 1 version of this board, see P-PC-FUZZ-ISS1-BRN and P-PC-FUZZ-ISS1-X.

PCB - Vintage Style Circuit board, CMOS Fuzz, Phenolic Board
This board is for a CMOS fuzz topology popularized by Craig Anderton’s Tube Sound Fuzz from the mid-70s. The board uses a new design with old-school traces on phenolic substrate for an era-appropriate look. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. The circuit is based around a CD4049 CMOS hex inverter and was also the basis for other fuzz designs, including the Way Huge Red Llama. The board fits in a 1590BB and works well with our pre-drilled layout P-H1590BBBK-PD2. A layout can be found in our Documents section below. Recommended parts using Vishay PR02 resistors can be found in the below table.

Chassis - Mod® Electronics, Wedge Shaped Fuzz, Pre-drilled, Folded 20 ga. Steel
Pre-drilled wedge shaped pedal enclosure by Mod® Electronics. The shape of this folded steel enclosure is inspired by the original FZ-1 and FZ-1A Fuzz Tone enclosures but the predilled layout is inspired by the Octavio and the early Carlsbro fuzz. This provides a classic pedal design with a layout that is more compatible with modern pedalboards than the original Fuzz Tone layout. The layout is intended for two pots, two jacks, and a footswitch so many fuzz varieties can be built in this enclosure. The wedge shaped fuzz enclosure features a hinged bottom cover for easy access to the battery. The four screws that attach the bottom are included.
