Just thought I'd share some news;
I'm coming along with a new fuzz pedal I've been working on for the last couple of months; I've finished prototyping and am happy with the design, and I've started the first build today.
It's loosely based on an Aron Nelson design; tri-transistor base with a trimpot for circuit tuning. It's also going to have switchable/variable volume boost (up to 12dB), making this a 2 switch pedal. The knobs will be:
Master volume, fuzz, tone, boost level and boost mids (I find it helps cut through amazingly in conjunction with the volume boost)
It makes for a super-versatile (and none too tame!) fuzz with a fairly bassy modern feel, but still fairly vintage sounding at lower gain settings.
I already have a hell of a waiting list for this baby, but if anyone's interested I'll chuck you on the list. I'm charging pretty much cost of parts, which will be about £30 unfinished, £38 finished (I get my decals done professionally ) but I have to warn you I'm exceptionally busy with moving house next week, and it's likely you'll have to wait several months
Anyways, here's a couple of pics of the main board which I did today...
