Fuzz Face Clone
PCB for a Fuzz Face clone.
It's possible to make any version of it. (Germanium version should have the voltage inverter board to work properly with negative ground pedals, I have it on my shared project's list).
This project have a trimmer, instead of the R3 8K2, to biasing. If you want to wire exactly like the original, place a 8K2 resistor between the first and second pad of the trimmer (from left to right).
Useful tips:
Greater the R2 value, greater output volume;
I made this board with a trimpot instead of the R3 resistor. Aim for 4.5v;
It's useful to have a 5K trimpot (in series) in the input, dial to remove noise;
Bias potentiometer: remove the trimmer (PR1) and use an B10K pot with 5K1 resistor, in series;
Use a 47pF capacitor between the base and collector of the transistor, in order to reduce noise;
If you install a A100K instead of A500K (volume pot), it'll have more bass.
If you use a PNP transistor, invert the polarity of the following capacitors: 2.2uF and 22uF

Now the schematic that I made is available. Just remembering that, in the original, R2 and R3 are indeed an voltage divider. Like I said, if you solder a 8K2 resistor between the first and second pad of the trimmer (left to right), it'll wire just like the original schematic.
I made like that to precise bias the circuit. You can install like the original, with just a 8.2K resistor, between the first and second pad of the trimmer (from left to right). It'll wire just like the original.
I've made 23 of these Fuzz Faces, using the same board, without these corrections. Install a 3296W 10K trimmer and aim for 4.5v (you can use the "bias" pad to measure.
