Our Face the Fuzz kit comes in two different forms: Wired and PCB-Mount. It’s the same PCB for both kits, but each kit has slightly different components, different sized cases and a different Bill of Materials.

 

Wired Face the Fuzz Assembly Instructions

PCB-mount Face the Fuzz Assembly Instructions

 

Why have two different versions? The PCB-mount and wired versions of the kit use the same circuit and sound the same.

The PCB-mount version:

  • takes less time for an experienced builder;
  • fits in a smaller case and takes up less room on a pedal board.

The wired version:

  • is easier to repair and solder and is recommended for new builders;
  • can be used in a custom case;
  • uses metal audio jacks instead of plastic.

    I just built your Face the Fuzz and its not working, I was very careful in the instructions, however, It still does not work, the power supply is center negative, I tested it out on my new power supply. Anything you can do to help?

    Hey there,

    If you’d like to send photos of the top and bottom of the board, preferably cleaned of flux, to store@synthrotek.com; I’d be happy to go give an extra set of eyes and further troubleshoot.
