Page 3: Populating The Circuit Board
Populating the Circuit Board Step 1: Add all the resistors. The 1M resistors are optional. They reduce popping sound when you turn the pedal on and increase the pick attack response. Replace the 470ohm with the 1k if you want more output than the original fuzzface Step 2: Add the diode. - Page 4 Step 3: Add the transistor sockets. Make sure that the tab on the socket matches up with the tab on the circuit board. Do not add the transistors yet. Do not solder the transistors to anything. Only solder the sockets. Step 4: Add the bias trimpot.
- Page 5 Step 5: Add the aluminum electrolyic capacitors. These are polarized and the positive solder pad will be labelled on the board by a "+" symbol. The negative end of the capacitor will have a strip of black arrows pointing to it. The positive end will have a rubber seal on that end.
- Page 6 Assembly 1. Install the jacks first. If you are looking down inside the enclosure, the mono jack goes on the right side and the stereo jack goes on the left. Place the washer on the outside of the enclosure. Use a 1/2" wrench to tighten. 2.

- Page 8 After you mount and install the LED/bezel, Bend the leads of the LED into circles so that you will have something to solder the hookup wire to. DON'T lose track of which lead is negative and positve. The positive lead will be longer. The negative side has a flat side.
- Page 10 Keith's tips to for a cleaner build 1. Use the left over clippings from you capacitors and resistors when ever possible. But don't use them if it may cause a short.You wouldn't want to use them to make the connection from the sw2 eyelet to lug 2 of the footswitch and for sw1 to lug 1 of the footswitch because those would overlap and probably touch.

Page 11: Finishing Touches
Finishing Touches Install the transistors. Do not solder the transistors. Simply push the lead wires into the appropriate socket holes. The lead wires on the germanium transistors will be rather longs, so you will want to clip off the excess. But be sure to leave enough so you can bend the transistor down and out of the way when you seal the enclosure.
