Hi to all,
this is my first post here, so as you guess i have almost nothing knowledge about diy stompboxes, but i would like to start to do some things.

i would like to ask for some help to known if i can resuscitate a diy univox superfuzz that a guy who i don´t known did about 5 years ago.
it appeared with the pcb with the cables cut out the box... i don´t known wich style of the univox superfuzz or schematic was used. had two knobs, two positions switch no led.
Also due to my lack of knowledge i don´t known if the transistors are ok or are a piece of shit.
here i drop a couple of photos for if you known how to repair it, i don´t known wich cable correspond with jack´s and the same with the pots...

i'm going to guess and say it would probably be easier to scrap it and start again from scratch. Maybe it's just the pics, but that looks a little rough.

I'm not sure it's even worth the trouble to reuse any of the components. That thing's a mess. Just chalk it up to the cost of learning or something.

(Is that flux all over the components?)

i agree. it would be cheaper and easier to buy the components than to go through the headache of saving those.

I guess you could use it for desoldering practice.
