Fuzz Factory in a 1590A

[JaviCAP]

Hi mates!

Let me show you my last challenguer: To build a Fuzz Factory in a 1590A. Using a modified Sabro's layout, and selecting acurate components and an extensive use of a rular and marker.... finally here is it!

Imposible? No way!



Hope you like it!

Woooh, that's amazing!! Crazy man that Javi..
although I'm not sure if saving vertical space is the first thing I'd need to do on my pedalboard... Well anyway, I know magicians does not share their secrets but please please could we please have some gut shots? You've done some pretty decent work there man!

All this is very weel Javi, but you know we want the gut shots don't you ?

[JaviCAP]

No secret here guys, just measures, 9mm pots and SFT343 trannies (no room for russian UFOs :P

Very nice, quite impressive!
However, how is the stomping on? I mean the switch is quite close to the knobs, it is a problem?

Again, you rock man!

[JaviCAP]

The stomping is very difficult as you supposed, but is not much easier  in the original or in the Box of Rock, as many people complain about this issue on Zvex effects.

A good point is that the Fuzz Factory is not really a live effect, more  a recording  / practise one.

The real thing about this pedal is that I wanted to build it from long, long  ago. It was  a challengue for me to be able to build it, and finally I got it :)

My hat goes off to you javi, that's an excellent build.

[GoranP]

Very cool, Javi! If I ever take on the A's, I'm sure I'll be doing it in SMD.

[Stinger25]

That's absolutely insane!!!
Cool graphics and amazing build!!!

[Surgeon]

100% with you Javi... the original pedals aren't convenient really... that's why I built my BoR in a 125b instead, the extra space is just perfect.

Again, it wasn't anything negative towards your build, it's impressive to say the least.

I wish I could build anything a quarter that cool... congrats!

[JaviCAP]

My BOR is built too in a 125b :) Need to purchase some more 125b's, is not a very used enclosure, but for many builds, the 1590B is too tight and the BB too huge.

Don't worry, I didn't take your comment as something negative, it was just a question about operation and usability.

Really, in these terms, the Factory 1590A in a nonsense but as a sheer fancy is geat. I've received two purchase orders since it was published this afternoon on my Facebook page :)
