Shizzle Schematic
Mood:  chillin'
Topic: Shizzle

Okay here is the newest updated schematic for the Shizzle.

For whatever reasons my pics haven't been showing up where I stuck them in some forums. I'm wondering if I'm exceeding my bandwidth on Photobucket? Whatever... you will always be able to find the full articles and images here, so screw 'em.

Finished Shizzle Today
Topic: Shizzle

After much turmoil and violence, I finished a Shizzle pedal. I shouldn't have so much trouble with something that's my own design! But, I chose the hard route what with all the hand-wiring craziness...... Anyway, after all was said and done, I finally have what I would consider to be a final circuit for the Shizzle and also what I would consider my final layout.

Looksi here:

 


 

 

Beautiful, I know, you don't need to tell me. :wink:  Ah, if only you could hear this thing! It's very hard to describe a three-stage Germanium transistor fuzz as a smooth tube-like overdrive, but that's exactly what this thing can do! That's what makes Shizzle special, and why I have disdain for those people who thing fuzzes are put on this earth to make squealing noise.

I promise, I swear, I vow that later this weekend I will have sound samples of this thing up so you can hear what I'm talking about. I really wish I could do a video so you can watch me tweaking the knobs, but all I have available is a shitass webcam and I'm not entirely sure how I would manage recording audio and video simultaneously. My guess, is I'd probably use two machines to do it and sync them later. I say that because I want the recorded audio to be of good quality, so I'll have to do that with my desktop, but all my video ability is on my laptop..... hmmmm, yes - need to figure something out for that...

I will update this topic later later to give more info about this astonishing circuit. I know there's probably some ass out there who'll say something like "that's already been done... blah blah blah" - well, fine, if it was I didn't know about it. I came up with the idea one day when I was using my Rangemaster to boost my Fuzz Face. Then I built the thing and while I was tweaking it, I discovered all the awesome variations available, which I've never heard on another box, so whatever, I don't care how original the circuit is, I'm not trying to patent it. Nothing magical here, just a cool sound.
