Fuzz Face vero layout

Post by Bret608 »

Hi all,

Can anyone point me in the direction of a simple vero layout for a Fuzz Face that assumes you'll use axial caps and an EBC pinout? There are some cool ones at TagboardEffects.com, but they're either for the more specialized variants like the Eric Johnson or they just use radial caps. I guess I'm after a layout that will allow for mojo-ish parts, if you will...

Thanks,

Bret

there probably exists one you can find in google but you could also just try your hand at doing a layout. the parts count is very low and vintage caps are very large so this is something that does not even need a board. you could do it on real tag board like a vintage rangemaster. you could build it into the back of the pots. you could poke holes in some cereal box cardboard and use it to hold all your components while soldering. I built one with no pots and no wires. it just hangs off of the two jacks.

I was thinking the same. I put together a point to point FF the other day with no prior experience and it worked. Copperless perfboard or in this case, maybe just some thin wood and drill a few holes where you need them would do. It's a good learning exercise and very satisfying when it's all your own work.

Ha, this is awesome! Thanks, I just may try this out. Luckily I did finally find a no-BS vero layout though, so who knows. I've got some 2n1306 burning a hole in my parts stash!
