So where is that Tweak Fuzz mod? (Frankfablo)

Re: So where is that Tweak Fuzz mod? (Frankfablo)

ok just finished the mod
dang simple
popped off R4
inserted radio shack 8.2 k
used one of the cut off legs of the 8.2 to jump R5
danged easy

now volume at 3/8 full is the same as bypassed

and it just gets way louder from there

not really a "clean" boost tho
even with the gain all the way down it still crackles a bit

may be because its SO FRIGGIN LOUD

WoHOO!!!!!

Bump. Hey, I'm going to do this! What is meant by "Jumpering/shorting the R5 resistor? Is it just connecting both ends of the resistor to each other?

Re: So where is that Tweak Fuzz mod? (Frankfablo)

Either replace the resistor with a piece of wire, or you can solder in the piece of wire without removing the resistor. It'll achieve the same thing.

when I did mine
I took one of the that I trimmed off
bent it in such a way as to bridge over the surface mount resistor


any small wire will work the same

I did the basic mod described on earlier posts. It took me about 30 min as my eyes had a tough time with those little resistors. The mod works great.....it's a whole lot better, and I'm using it more now than my fuzzfactory, angryfuzz or merkinfuzz........

I did not have an 8.2K resistor and could not get the R5 one off with my tools so I shorted R5 and put a 10K resistor on R4 and the pedal is much more useful now.

Yeah, I had to use the 10K also ( only thing at Radio Shack). Will this make a big difference from the 8.2k?

Can anyone tell me . . . I did this mod a while back and didn't pay attention to what the original R4 was. If I put the 8.2k back in R5, what is the original R4 value if I wanted to reverse this mod?

Thanks to any who can help!

My pedals are all in storage and I don't have a schematic, but it might be 470 ohm.
This pic agrees.

Thanks! I appreciate it.

Old thread resurrection! Just picked up a Tweak Fuzz, and I'll probably do this mod (although I find that I can get enough volume as-is). This guy took the pedal to another level...not sure what the further mods consisted of, but I'd appreciate a foot switchable tone knob.
