i want to make a fuzz face

[deadbeatriot]

and will that perfboard fit inside the regular 'b' sized enclosure? real estate is at a premium these days...

[eatyourguitar]

make sure you know what side is negative on the polarized caps. and make sure the 0.01uf cap is not polarized. thats exactly the schematic I would use. you can also use other NPN if they are available. 2n5088 or 2n3904 are also good.

[deadbeatriot]

am i forgetting anything?

[deadbeatriot]

and how can i tell if the cap is polarized or not?

[eatyourguitar]

electrolytic = polarized
that big grey stripe is the negative side

I think you had it right on the order page. the pots can be 16mm to save money. I've never tried to fit 2 24mm pots in a 1590b so I cant say if it will fit.

[eatyourguitar]

the 1kb pot is a linear pot.

b = linear
a = audio

edit: I see you got it right

[deadbeatriot]

16mm. got it.

i got a 500k audio, and a 1k linear.

[deadbeatriot]

shit's paid for!

wish me luck!

[eatyourguitar]

hit that button. rub it up and smack it down cause the mailman is bringin fuzzy goodness.

[deadbeatriot]

thanks for the help, both of ya!

[mathias]

Sounds like a plan! good luck!

let us know if you have any questions. I'd be more than happy to help.

[deadbeatriot]

not entirely sure what this means:

[eatyourguitar]

thats a 1kb pot with pin 1 to ground, pin 2 to the electrolytic cap, pin 3 goes to the 100k resistor and also the buttom of your transistor Q2. remember the negative stripe on the cap goes to ground.

[deadbeatriot]

thanks!
