Schematic 330R 2K2 (CLR) D1,2* 1N60 *Many different diodes have been reported in ‘de-gooped’ versions of 100n this pedal. Experiment to find your C3,4 47u electrolytic ideal pair. BAT46 reportedly sound very good. Q1** 2N5088 ** Other transistors can be used. BIAS Again, experiment if you feel like it.

The power and signal pads on the PCB conform to the FuzzDog Direct Connection format, so can be paired with the appropriate daughterboard for quick and easy offboard wiring. Be very careful when soldering the transistor, LED and diodes. They’re very sensitive to heat.

Wire it up - with battery (if using a daughterboard please refer to the relevant document) BOARD BOARD INPUT BOARD BOARD BOARD BOARD LED+ BOARD BOARD BATTERY This circuit is standard, Negative GND. Your power supply should be Tip Negative / Sleeve Positive. That’s the same as your standard pedals (Boss etc), and you can safely daisy-chain your supply to this pedal.
