I'm getting serious tool envy. I just have a solder iron and a drill and I thought I was pretty cool. Nice vid!
That was super awesome to watch! Good job!!
Beautiful work dude, it was a pleasure watching this!
Luckily I have thousands of dollars of CNC machinery in my 2 bedroom NYC apartment, so let's go.
These look and sond fantastic. The video work is also absolutely stellar.
These look amazing and sound great. What a great design idea. Best I've seen in a long time.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
Wow and wow! Beautiful. I would love to build my own turret boards.
Nice work!
Great build
Awesome
man! wow! amazing! congrats
Thank you!
Wow bro, nice
Amazing
Beautiful! I'm curious, does the design with the big hole in the top of the box cause any sound interference or RF issues?
WOW
Great looking pedal. Where are you hiding your transistors? Thought they should be the center of the show. :)
Thank you! The transistors are on the sides of the footswitch. This enclosure is so small to place everything in center :)
I just got into the hobby last weekend. Needless to say, this is incredible! Any chance you take custom orders?
Thanks! I'm ready for custom orders, but it will take a very long time)
@@chiefaudiodesigns I'm in! How much time is a very long time?
@@TVicc I am currently quite busy in my main job, so it can take 1-2 months to make. It is worth adding to this the international shipment time, which can range from 10 days to 3 months :)
Impressive build, with germanium sounds good for meBTW, what is the dilution ratio of ammonium persulfate?
Thank you! The dilution ratio is approximately equal to 150g per 0.5L
@@chiefaudiodesigns thank you for reply, mate.
Silly billy question: if you're already CNCing the PCB, why go through the trouble of etching the board instead of having the cnc router cut the traces?
It was just a one-time experiment :) In addition, this CNC router is not accurate enough to make PCB in a standard way.
Can I ask what CNC you’re using? I’ve been looking for one that will be able to mill enclosures, but the ones that will do metal seem a lot more expensive
I have an a custom made CNC machine based on X-Carve. It can mill aluminium, but it's not good for this type of operation. This requires a more hard construction and coolant supply
250V capacitors for 9V fuzz
Question: is it possible to build the electronics portion using terminal strips and point to point wiring instead? Or can we just order the turret board somewhere? I don't have cnc but probably could use a premade enclosure instead. Thanks.
Of course. There are many pedal builders that make this using point to point wiring. Paperboy Pedals and Elephant Pedals for example.
@@chiefaudiodesigns thanks for the info. If turret boards aren't too hard to build / solder I could consider that. I've never build a pedal but restored a point to point wired hifi / console pull tube amp. Looks like a fun project.
What software do you use to design the programs for/run the cnc?
I use Autodesk ArtCAM
@@chiefaudiodesigns Thanks for the response, did you teach yourself how to build/run it or have you studied engineering?
Where can I buy one??
This is hardly possible at the moment, because I am in Russia and there are some difficulties with delivery and payment
Is there a reason you used a 250v capacitor? By all accounts they sounds the same as smaller low voltage options, however "They look cooler" seems to be the reason you see them in guitar tone controls. That reason would make sense here as the components are on display.
By the way, "looking cooler" is a perfectly valid argument in my opinion, just as long as people don't try to validate it with some sort of argument about tone or something.
You are absolutely right. These capacitors are used for better look. In addition, this is due to the assortment of axial capacitors in the shop where I usually order components :)
@@chiefaudiodesigns Well they certainly do look awesome. I bought a selection of different caps for guitar tone controls, including a ridiculous 1.5kv oil in paper just because it was yellow and looked great! Although a bit pointless being inside a guitar cavity.
I also built a Fuzz Face clone myself but wanted to see how small it could be so used as low voltage as possible, I try to avoid the little ceramic caps though as they can apparently be microphonic and pick up noise. I was wondering if the little window on your pedals lets any noise or hum in? Have you compared it to a solid box?
Different voltage capacitors have slightly different ESR characteristics, and this will be frequency dependant to an extent too, so there may actually be some very, very subtle differences.
what is the name of the pin that is the terminal leg of the resistor at 1:32?
I take it you're talking about turrets?
@@chiefaudiodesigns Yes, in my place it is very difficult to find the item if you don't know the name, thank you for answering my question.
The etched traces along the bottom and the transistor sockets are a little weak 🤷 idt this qualifies strictly as a turret board bc its printed and theres not a good reason to socket transistors, you could just as easily have run jumpers to switches and mounted transistors on the switch lugs if youre not sure whether you like ge or si... This seems like a lot of flash for very little substance
You ROCK! Share a schematic for this one?? Thanks for being an awesome human being!
Thank you! This is just a Fuzz Face, but you can find my layout on my Patreon page (link in the video description)
I’d buy them
New batch coming soon on my Reverb shop
@@chiefaudiodesigns thanks man. What’s your shop name?

@@chiefaudiodesigns thanks. I’ll keep an eye out for them!
