i love your explanation of how it works but you are way off on the count of how transistor work transistor is just a resistor for all intent and purposes when you aply dc to it when you aply ac signal to the base you basically voltage controll the resistance, and you can simulate it with aplying dc voltages transistor does not amplifi signals by itself, it mirror the signal by adjusting it's resistance in real time and it forms a resistor divider with colector and emiter resistors and "the signal" is just a swing of those points up and down in voltage while transistor dc resistance changes and output can be taped anywhere above 2nd colector you can give it 8k resistor and 520 ohm instead of 8,2k and 330 ohms and it would just be louder because you just taping on the signal closer to the transistor

A treat to see you work with a soldering iron. I wondered at the beginning whether you were going to take it to bits and put it back together without the circuit board, like one of your own pedals.

Out of curiosity, since you drilled a new hole for the input, why didn't you move it to the right side?

Sweet. Love videos like this Markus. Definitely do more of these please.

This is very interesting Markus! Thanks for taking the time to sharing with us all. ✌🏻✌🏻

Very cool mate ❤

Fuzz history! The very first one correct?

Great tutorial. Did you ever try ordinary stencils instead of screens, and if so, how does they compare?

Thank You for explaining the Feedback Loop. Very Concise.

My BHD is incoming...yay!

I like n love my Blackhat Sound; just ordered the deluxe version, a big wedge of green cheese with fuzzy goodness running through it...Slurp!

Just ordered this pedal. Marcus will be doing batches of 10 of these pedals per month once his new workshop is finished in around 4 weeks...Yay!

Great run through. Inside baseball for grasping how the parts, the ingredients and the meal they can make. Now I have to figure out how to fix mine which has the bias mod. It’s a rehoused circuit by analog man. Might have been a fib. Who knows? Beautiful man! Cheers 🥂 and thank you Marcus.

3:31 Boy that's simple, for something that was so important to Jimi Hendrix's sound and changed the world. 2 transistors, 3 capacitors, and 4 resistors (plus 2 pots), .1 switch, 2 jacks. That cast metal housing probably cost more to make than all the components. Great explanation too.

sounds awesome!

Dude! Stop touching your nose man! How many times did he touch his nose during this video...1,829 times!

I was about to give up on building pedals after a month of so of trying but it makes so much more sense when you explain how the variations on components effect the circuit. Guess i should finally finish this fuzz! Thanks man!

They both sound incredible 😍 🙌

Red Dot Sound - Black Hat Sound...Say that fast 3 times haha! Markus they both sound fabulous, well done mate!

Love both of mine! Thanks Mr. Reeves!

Just getting into small circuits love this channel!

9 minutes in and already some great info for pedal specific printing. Thank you!

I remember learning that dc and ac voltages could exist simultaneously at the same point, or on the same wire etc. In a circuit. Like alot of things with learning these concepts i suspected it a long time before i confirmed it. But things sure made alot more sense afterward. I taught myself electronics by tinkering with everything i could all my life. Also being a guitarist i ended up working on guitars, pedals, amps everything else in the signal chain! Now this was wayyy pre-internet, information was scarce and just as often incorrect but i did get better and more knowledgeable all be it at a slower rate. When the internet came along that boosted my knowledge and abilities greatly also being an electrician by trade, i got a job in industrial electrical and learned alot there as well.

Heavy heavy and badass!

Really nice job, inside and out…

Well done mate!

Thank you for that fact about AC and DC coexisting. I’ve never been able to find this answer anywhere

That sounds SO squelchy! Awesome stuff Marcus

Sounds killer! Looks like another masterpiece from Izzy and Markus. If you’re not yet familiar with these two, they are easily among the best fuzz makers in the world right now imho. 🤘🏼

Will you make more?

Audio signal and feedback discussion was great. Best I’ve heard. You didn’t talk explicitly about the signal from the battery though. Can you explain that path?

1.5 all day

I'll take a VX and an IZ please!

This is VERY exciting! They sound awesome, can't wait to complete my set. Take care Markus, Izzy and Family!

Very useful demo to understand the difference between these four beauties! Good one Markus! I'm really happy with my IZ1016!

killer stuff

Thanks for taking the time to explain. I’d love to see a few more (simple) circuits.

I put this together and it works, used two BC547B's (didn't have any of the others), didn't have a 20 uf but had a 22. Fuzz worked nice but only with the 1K knob all the way up. Thank you for putting together this great video

Hey Markus. So, ive tried to start building pedals so many times that ive accumulated all the tools and peices, but i have a very heavy learning disability and cant really get the ball rolling. i have a bunch of really cool looking transistors and diodes and all the other bits, im just stuck not knowing where/how to start. i have a multimeter, and i cant wrap my head around how its working. i have a nice iron, snipper and stripper, mat, wiring, some PCBs, helper hand... i just cant make sense of where/how to start. i have a few different enclosures. i have an older yamaha keyboard that has midi jacks, and i want to take ONLY the keys and midi jacks to use as a controller without all the preset sounds and speakers and such. i found some old tube radio and wanna make it into a cheesy lil tube amp, but cant make sense of what connctions i need to make... what do you think my next step should be? anyone, chime in if you know where im at, and know what my next steps should be, please let me know.

Great video, thank you! 👍

Thanks, wow, never knew any of that before

Sounds like 1969. Back when young people scared the older generation. Older people thought it was devil music

2:37, now i know how the ladies feel

Very cool as usual, what is it based on? FF or a Bender?

I really enjoyed watching this video! Taking all this info into consideration, what values would you use to make a fuzzface that works well with bass guitar? I have the big blue Hendrix FF and have gotten great results but how to tame the fuzz a little and make the fuzz knob more usable??? I generally don’t have a problem with loss of low end freqs. Thanks for your time! ❤

Excellent explanation, thank you 🎉

Really really helpful, thank you. I learned a lot about tone management.

So much magic happens in there! 🪄

Since you left it out, I’ll say it…”Keep It Fuzzy”!!! 😘

I know this is a bit old, so not sure if you’re still replying to comments but was hoping you could give me more details on the type of screen I need. My local print shop that is mostly for t-shirts said their screens could not be used for oil based ink as it would ruin them. My problem is that I can’t seem to find a solid answer as to what specs I need to to tell a screen shop in order to get a screen that works with paint like one shot. Is your screen just a regular one like the type used for shirts, but the emulsifier protects it? Hoping I can order one where that is all taken care of ahead of time. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thx
