Fuzz lovers . . . i need a clone !

[SirJackdeFuzz]

I will never be able to find a real deal 220V model, so i am looking into a GOOD quality (yet south of $200.00USD) clone of the famous Maestro MFZ-1.


I am after this sound. :cool2:








Do you guys know of any accurate clones out there ?

I found a schematic for one and it wouldn't be hard to build one with a tlo72 chip.
You can do a search for many of my latest posts to see my builds. Let me know if I can help you out.
Cheers

I'm a bit confused...the MFZ-1 is battery powered...9 volts DC

I'll have to look into that. The layout i found is for 9v... Not sure what the 220v reference is in reference to...

I think he thinks it's AC powered and since they use 220v where he lives I think he's trying to find a way around it but it's not needed...it's a 9 volt pedal and originals can be had at decent deals plus there are quite a few clones out there too...

I can't watch the video on the OP because my phone is stupid, but I do see what appears to be an ac cord coming out of the back.

Battery door is in the back...the guy int he vid must be using a 9 volt wall wart with a battery clip on the business end.

Nope, that's my dumbphone's lousy screen resolution's fault - it's just the cable running to the amp.

You can find this unit used for about 275-300 if you look around and are patient. I would just wait it out and get an original ... that demo has decent sound, but the playing is so off time, I got annoyed! lol

WOW, OK, thank.

I always thought (for some reason) that they run on mains-only.
I have NO idea why i thought so, but all ways assumed so.

Thanks
