PCB - Vintage Style Circuit Board, MKII Fuzz
Colors Available:
This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in Tone Bender Professional MKII pedals. When drawing the layout, an original board was closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. Since the MKII boards were cut from stripboard, this board follows the same format but is completely ready for soldering with precut traces and drilled mounting holes. The build style is very straightforward on the Mk2. It is a standard stripboard build and follows a very linear circuit path across the board. The traces are gold plated making soldering easier than most stripboards. Additionally the plating provides protection from corrosion. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below. There are numerous great parts choices available for this PCB.

PCB - Vintage Style Circuit Board, V828 Italian Fuzz, Phenolic Board
V828 Italian fuzz circuit board made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in the V828 Vox Tone Bender pedals. The board is styled after the Italian made version which was also sold as the Jen Fuzz. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. This board uses unique PCB mounted tags for the offboard wiring. A combination of S-HEYE-A eyelets and S-H137 solder tags (each sold separately) can be used to approximate the originals. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

PCB - Vintage Style Circuit Board, Supa Fuzz, Phenolic Board
Supa Fuzz style circuit board made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in the SupaFuzz pedal. The board is styled after the first version that Marshall produced which featured a printed circuit rather than a stripboard construction. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

PCB - Vintage Style Circuit Board, Eyelet-Rite Fuzz, Phenolic Board
Eyelet-Rite fuzz circuit board made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in the germanium Mosrite Fuzzrite pedals. The board is styled after the point to point version that used eyelets. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. This board is intended for use with S-HEYE-A eyelets and is directly mounted to a Carling P-H550 footswitch (both sold separately). The original build also used a unique C350K pot and the R-VOMSL-350KRA is the perfect substitute. The build style is very straightforward with point to point connections. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

¼" Jack - Cliff, Sealed, Switched
Original Cliff sealed and switched blue jack. Fully threaded. Many types of professional music equipment nowadays use high power components, and need to be cooled by fans. Fans draw in dust and pollutants which can adversely affect the contacts of conventional jacks, with exposed contacts. This sealed jack avoids possibility of contamination of contacts by means of a sealing cover over the top and bottom of the jack.

PCB - Mod® Electronics, Germanium Fuzz, For 1590B or 1590N1
PCB for a Fuzz Face style circuit with PCB mounted potentiometers. Its very low component count makes it a great beginner project. Builders can use preselected transistors from P-Q2N1309-SET-FF with its included resistors for R1 through R4 for a simple and great sounding germanium fuzz. If a builder wants to use their own transistors, the stock component values are also clearly labeled on the PCB. The transistor footprints fit P-SGP-001 sockets making swapping transistors a simple process so builders can experiment with a variety of types and values. This board was designed for a 1590N1/125B or C65-sized enclosure, with the potentiometers spaced 30mm apart. It can also be mounted using the two screw-mount holes with the potentiometers wired off-board. There are two screw-mounting holes which are designed for M3 screws.
