Difficulty: Beginner

7 Min Fuzz


Possibly the easiest option to build your first guitar pedal effect! A very respectable fuzz with bare minimum components you wont believe your ears when you hear what this little circuit is capable of! Includes output volume control.


Dimensions: 19mm x 16mm
PCB Sizing: 1590a enclosure (no-special hardware required) or larger

Kit Options
Please select the kit options you would like included with your PCB from the checkboxes above

•   Standard PCB Components
"PCB Components" includes all onboard components you need to build the "7 Min Fuzz". Battery snap is included as well as 6 lenghts of wire. Also includes, LED, current limiting resistor ("medium" brightness) and plastic bezel for mounting the led to an enclosure.

•   Experimenters PCB Components
(Discountinued) The 'Experimenters Kit' adds additional transistors, input caps & diodes and sockets in addition to the "Standard PCB components" for experimentation allowing you to customise the 7 min fuzz to your liking. Also included in the experimenter's kit are my beginner notes and explanations on how changing these components effects the output tone.

•   9mm Potentiometer
Add a 9mm Alpha metal shaft potentiometer to your kit!


•   Compact Mono Jacks (2 of)
"Compact Mono Jacks (2of)" include 2 Lumberg compact mono jacks with your kit. These jacks are small in size, a good choice for tight builds and beginners but can be used for any build. Please note you will need a stereo jack if you plan to power your effect with a battery. (Stereo jacks are available in the hardware section of this store).





•   Miniature DC Jack
These DC jacks are very small and are suitable for any build not using a battery / battery switching. Especially good for 1590a builds as they are very compact.



•   Knobs
These knobs are a high quality aluminium with a grooved circumference for a nice tactile feel and a full faced indicator line. They are small in diameter (13mm), can be used for any pot that has a 6.35mm shaft but will also fit the tight spacing needed for 1590a builds.
