Lord Sausage Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Don't know if anyone has the the Fuzzdog Logical thread that I did recently. Someone is building it me. Anyway, in it I said I'm gonna do the bazz fuzz as my first build. I'm going to order it today. Does anyone have any experience of spray painting the enclosure? Is it just the same as spraying a guitar but using auto paint instead? It's more the prep I need to know. Do you sand enclosure to 320 grit? Do you sand between coats? Do you polish the clear coat at the end? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbass4k Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 People do it lots of different ways, my general method - Drill first Sand with 400 grit Coat of primer, dry Coat of paint, dry 2nd coat, dry Apply label graphics Coat of clear coat, dry 2nd coat of clear coat, dry Sometimes 3rd coat of clear coat The clear coat I use is good but it takes a.while to dry properly, in summer I stick them outside under a pyrex bowl to get the benefit of UV - I've toyed with getting a UV lamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Sausage Posted March 26 Share Posted March 26 The bazz fuzz kit has arrived. I have no idea what I'm doing. I'll put pics up on here when I have finally done it. In about 2036! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a HPF/LPF clone kit from das musikding I made one of those recently. All came together quite easily, although I had some sort of brain fade when doing the drilling and put the hole for the LED on a direct line between the two upper pots, so had to stick a screw in that hole and drill a higher one. Must get round to putting some labels on it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, you're going from a completely disassembled state to a completely assembled one, and doing it yourself, so yes. The next step is to be @disssa, deconstruct an existing design, design your own PCB, and build that. Next stage from that is to get a copy of Horowitz and Hill and any relevant IC design documents and design your own effect from the ground up. I suspect that even the most dedicated purist would stop short of manufacturing their own components, so that's about as DIY as you could get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how the rest of you feel, but i think anyone who doesn't have a small semiconductor fab in their shed and a resistor winding station in their bathroom is just a poser. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently investing in my future pedal endeavours by planting trees for carbon, mining ore for metal and have a couple of silicon and germanium saplings ready for planting out - It’s the only way you’ll get the authentic tone 🤪 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lidl e Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 ok. I think i can do this... i hope you fellas can bear with me with some very basic questions! First off, i dont need this schematic to build this, right? I've got the bits and a BOM that corresponds to the PCB layout. Ive got that figured out. But i dont really need to know what this is showing me ( i can get the gist from the parts list) Second basic question. On the input and output jacks, which lug gets the red and which lig gets the black? I assume the one on the left is the red wire and the one in the right is black?

LukeFRC Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Black wires are ground. Or sleave of the Jack. orange wires are tip (or signal) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeFRC Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Click through the build for the Vong - it’s the same principles start with small things and work your way up https://schalltechnik04.de/en/instructions/vong-filterung/5 go slowly, check orientation of things that have polarity. It is worth following which part is where on the schematic just because then you know where things are. go slowly, make sure each solder is good. when soldering the footswitch do each joint and then let it cool before doing the next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassybert Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Also, there should be a layout with the kit that gives you the location of each component and it’s orientation if it’s polarised. Judging by the questions you’re asking I’d definitely have a read of Fuzzdog’s pedal building guide before you start. Some of it only applies to the kits they sell but there’s loads of good info on the basics that will help you a lot. Your can find it at… http://pedalparts.co.uk/docs/GeneralBuildGuide.pdf 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PedalPCB do really good PCB layouts, and then fairly minimal parts list and Schematic... https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/FrequencyInterchange-PedalPCB.pdf The PCB has the values on it I think? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tauzero Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 If your eyesight is as blurry as mine, check resistor and capacitor values before putting them in. Something like https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/166388291985 is really useful. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
