Please make more of these, maybe a step up in difficulty.

Awesome content, please continue doing this, so informative, thanks

Fantastic tutorial. Looks like a great kit!

Speaking of fuzz, I really would like to reclaim that feeling of a blue clipper cranked up. I had an original Dan Armstrong way back in the 70s and I know I have no idea what happened to it but I miss it. I don’t know if you take request – but if you do, please make a pedal based on the circuitry of a blue clipper.

Hey guys, I had no idea that you had a YouTube channel! I’m a dedicated customer and follow over from the mammoth customers. I will be getting a new order together soon, I’m running low on some crucial parts.😅

When doing PCB layouts how do you make sure the traces and the wires to the pots and jacks aren't going to create more noises, hiss, crosstalk, oscillations because of gain circuits? its very easy to cause oscillations with gain circuits and the component layout have to follow rules which you should go over in a video lesson

Thank you for creating this kit and posting the video. I'm wondering: I want to do the bias mod where I have a knob on the pedal that allows me to change the bias for q2 and an internal pot to change the bias for q1. Does that make sense and if so can I do that here. Total noob here but I saw JHS doing this mod. Thank you for your time

can the dc jack replaced with battery?

$50? you can BUY a pre-made Fuzz box for $20

I got this kit and tried to build it but I think I was thrown off by the diagram being used 5:48 instead of actual video footage. I was confused by a couple things (altho I see the necessity for making that move in order to differentiate between the different wires by color coding).. the orientation of the pcb while wiring up in relation to the bottom of the switch was a big question mark.
also, this diagram doesn't depict the fuzz circuit so that threw me off.
this is the first time I've tried to build a guitar pedal, so my perspective is from that of a total beginner.
I had to remove and re-solder several components and the end result was a silent pedal when turned on!
I'm already a loyal customer, tho and also bought the Klon kit. looking forward to sorting this all out and also, lastly, want to express my gratitude to you for putting in this effort to help aspiring pedal freqs take their awkward first steps.
cheers

Well, i went to buy one of your kits, and apparently its $107 minimum to post a $39, 50 gram package of components to Australia? If you dont want to sell overseas, just say you don't want to sell overseas.

Yeah cool .. (Like Clown Shoes)
No build instructions .. (go ask someone else)
No build support .. (go ask someone else)
I'm Surprised you bagged the parts?
(well the Pict. on the site shows them bagged)
Yes this comment was sarcasm.
100% Clown Shoes.

Hello. I see the different values of the resistors but I’m wondering if they have to be installed a certain direction?

[stratosexual]

You guys should make a zonk kit! Also this video was extremely helpful for a first time builder!
