Description

An octave fuzz you can actually use! Build your own version of this unique classic.

The octave fuzz is one of the most fun pedals in a player's arsenal. Plug in and you get both fuzz and a tone one octave up. While these pedals are undeniably fun, some are too hard to control and others simply don't sound that great.

We were blown away by this circuit and think you will be too! Not too fuzzy and not too harsh, the Interval Fuzz simply sounds awesome. If you like the revered Dan Armstrong Green Ringer, this is the kit for you—with clean and overdriven amps, it never gets out of control.

Don't buy your next pedal—build it! Not only does this pedal sound great, it is super easy to build! With no knobs to get in the way, this is a great first project. Even if you've never soldered before you can wire up this surprisingly simple pedal kit in just a few hours.

It's more than just a schematic We include everything you need to build your new pedal:

  • Top quality components from resistors to switch
  • Road-worthy rugged metal enclosure with all holes pre-drilled
  • Bare or powder coated white finish
  • 3PDT breakout board for low noise
  • Input, output, and power jacks rear mounted for easy cable routing
  • True bypass switch
  • Custom printed labels

Easy! Download your instructions We've made these instructions ready to download now. You can zoom in on every solder joint and resistor value to make sure your build is perfect from start to finish. With these step-by-step instructions, full color illustrations, and complete wiring guide you'll build a pedal you'll enjoy for a lifetime. Be proud every time you step on the custom pedal that you built.

Start making and modding pedals It's never been easier to have an inspiring sounding and looking pedal. We include labels for all of the controls for a professional look. Paint your own raw metal enclosure or choose a powder coated enclosure that is ready to put on your board now. Take the first step to customize your sound.

Powered by a 9 volt power supply with a 2.1mm negative-center barrel, available separately.
