*** --- I've added a couple clips --- ***
I lent this out to our surveyor, who made a couple clips:
TB3-01.mp3
(2 megs)
TB3-02.mp3
(800K)
here are his notes:
" ... I was a bit rushed, so was adjusting the knobs on the fuzz as I was inbetween riffs.
Some of it was with the volume a bit above half, fuzz way down, tone always at 12.
I was using my White blonde ash double fat strat, switching through all p/u selections, but tried to keep alot of it on the single coils. The clean is on the neck split/ single. Vol all the way up, lower tone 3/4.
The amp and cab is the 5watt Blackheart little giant head, thru the eminence special blackheart design 1x12 cab.
that's it."
thanks
enjoy

For those who might be interested in ToneBender type fuzzes, I thought I'd show you my latest project.
I've spent some time building a few pedal kits lately, but I really wanted to build my favorite fuzz, the ToneBender III. Unfortunately, there aren't any kits for it.
I used project files from General Guitar Gadgets and FuzzCentral, then ordered the board from GGG, the trannies from Small Bear, the other components from Mouser, and the box from Pedal Parts Plus.
J.D. Sleep's files aren't "idiot proof" -- I had to sort out the switch wiring, and while FuzzCentral's parts list had Mouser part numbers that JD didn't, I found that those parts weren't well suited for JD's board due to the lead spacing. Also, I found out the hard way that you should use J.D.'s pot values.
Here are some pics:
this is still in "prototype" stage. it's not totally "there" yet -- maybe 75-85%. I'd like to add trim pots for the biasing and gain, and the output is low. I'd also prefer a better box layout.
However -- this is the good part - IT SOUNDS GREAT!!!
yes, the Mark II Professional circuit is more agressive than the TB3, but I like having that darned tone knob!
with a tele and a tweed amp, there's a lot of chewy good fun
cheers
