Cheers! I was pleasantly surprised at how ring-moddy you can get it to sound with the 'expander' control turned down. And that Superfuzz sound is really massive.

Sounds great, several fuzztones & the ringmod sounds are a bonus.
One question, is it not possible to have the circuits footswitchable for easier use live?

Probably wouldn't be as much use as you think without separate controls for each (i.e. a complete two in one implementation)

Yeah it'd have to be a double pedal, which isn't really the idea.

I put together a small box layout for the Univox Superfuzz with board-mounted pots and toggle switch. Very chuffed this layout works perfectly. It's pretty tight in there!

I have always misunderstood the Klon, but this demo really did a good job explaining for me.

Your stuff always looks so pro!! Is that your design or something else?

Is there any special reason to connect both rings from the jacks, aren't the enclosures made of metal ?

Cheers! It's a more or less straight clone of an op-amp muff fuzz, with a couple of Klon buffers thrown-in. The bypass is buffered, so it's a useful thing even when the fuzz is off. The next version of this pedal will have a slightly different textured fuzz, as I've been busy breadboarding. The ground wire- only one jack is grounded to the enclosure due to the powder coating, so I run a wire between them.

Passing the local guitar shop just now, noticed this nice Burns.

Wait... what's this? Nice way to spell the name of your own store guys! :)

I got me a Pocket Weasel!

It's an original fuzzbox with a wah-like tone control. Demo coming soon! I took the idea of the Harmonic Energizer with fuzz combo that I build as 'Do the Weasel Stomp' and used a simpler workalike circuit. I broadened the frequency range so it goes from deep bass to ear-shredding treble, then added a Germanium transistor gain stage to the fuzz to make things a little less smooth.

I've got some buffered blender boards made. Boring but useful, they let you blend-in a send/return loop.

This dude didn't want a footswitch, so the blend is always on.

Whichever you prefer. It'd be good to build one with a switch actually.

I'll drop you a PM with my Paypal deets.
