Seymour Duncan Tweak Fuzz

[johnk]

I hadn't seen a vero of this one anywhere yet but I did find the schematic so I made my own (verified)vero of it and I thought i'd share it with you guys:








I built it and it works exactly like the original, but I wanted to make it a little better so I added a tone control and did a couple of Roger Mayer mods on it:

Cool! I'm not up to the required minimum of owning 25 fuzzes yet so I'm gonna do this one.

Which rotary did you use?

Nice, thanks John, do you know if the Mayer mods address the low volume problem this pedal is known for?
Thanks

[johnk]

they raise the output a bit but it's still not all that loud at low gain settings.

[johnk]

DONE!

I just finished tweaking my tweak fuzz. here's the latest layout that, IMO, sounds ALOT better than it was when it was a stock or Roger Mayer modded one, and has more output than both units:

Nice one, John. I requested this a while ago as I had an original and miss it. Very underrated pedal. One of my favourites. I like the lack of volume as you can max it and get a different texture but not blow the windows out...

[johnk]

for me, its output was just too low.
here's a quick clip of my final incarnation of it with a p bass thru my 2x15 cab:

Sounding good...
