Build Your Fuzz Effects Pedal Kits DIY Electric Guitar Stomp Box Kit (chrome)

I made a few mistakes when soldering wires onto the pots. Once I zoomed in on the colored instructions I realized I put them on the wrong lugs. Once I swapped those, the pedal worked. I had fun putting it together.Looking forward to putting some fun graphics on the box and putting it on my pedal board.Would recommend.

Overall, the kit had everything it needed to have and in the end produced a working fuzz pedal. For ~$25 bucks and some tinkering, I am happy with how it turned out!Pro:- It was fun to build.- It was mostly easy to build (see con).- I now have a fuzz pedal.Con:- The instructions were 95% easy to follow, with the only hang-up being how to wire the input/output jacks. My version of the instructions had no details on how to do this just a fuzzy picture. I had to come here to look at another reviewer's instructions that actually had how to wire the jacks.- The provided tone/volume/sustain knobs are slightly too big for how closely they machined the holes. When assembled, the volume and tone knobs are touching. Doesn't really affect how the pedal works, luckily. Just doesn't look great aesthetically or function ideally so I might put on smaller knobs.

The media could not be loaded. Great value for the money and an amazing learning experience.Sounds just like I wanted it to. Dialed in the fuzz tone I was looking for quickly. I will say this for those who are looking to build, get a magnifying glass with an LED light on it to clamp on your soldering station. It will help you a tone when having to identify some of the parts.Build went very smooth even with the black and white instructions.

The seller had great communication and went out of their way to help me get everything I needed. 5 stars!

So I bought a delay, a fuzz, reverb, a klon, and a tremelo all from the same company here. I left a delay pedal review as well... I put the delay together perfectly as I could to the non existent directions, looked at pictures of the products on other sites already wired together, I tried a few things wiring wise and compared it to people who built the same pedals on YouTube and it still didn't work. So I contacted the seller... told them I tried everything and they sent me a different wiring diagram that they in all honesty should if sent with it, but even that didn't work. So I told them it plain out didn't work and they did the barest of minimums they could which was nothing. I have 5 or six pedals of theres I have assembled and they all do the same thing... which is nothing. I'm no stranger to building electronics. I make synths, video mixers, all sorts of stuff, and I even got a pedal kit from another company (parasit studios) to work, but these... these have me eternally angry. Lack of directions, lack of help from the company, just a few months of burning myself and feeling like I wasted a ton of money on a few kits that do absolutely nothing. Go to musikding, parasit studios, fuzzdog, about anywhere else to build a pedal. The price on these I know are appealing, but it's not beginner friendly at all, and I mean any model they sell because I've built over half of what they offer and I have a bunch of cool looking paper weights.

I am an experienced electronics project person, having repaired a bunch of arcade monitors, guitar amps and effect pedals. This was very frustrating to put together, largely because the instructions just give up when it's time to hook up the pots / input jack / output jack etc.As a positive, the resistors and capacitors do come nicely labelled and broken down, and it's very easy to follow the picture directions (and printed PCB) to get all the surface mount components into place easily and quickly. It's just where the wires come in to play that the instructions break down.Caveat Emptor.. I enjoy projects like this, and I'm not afraid of a challenge, and I did not enjoy this project and would have chosen to spend my time elsewhere had I known.

First off, I would like to say I had a lot of fun building this. Also, my hat goes off to the person that hand wrote all the tiny labels on the parts. With that being said, I couldn't get it to work. No sound at all, and only the light came on when I hit the switch. Now the fact that it didn't work could totally be an error on my part, but who knows. Now what I didn't like about this product is this: the casing is pretty small, so everything is pretty cramped (which may also contribute to why I wasn't able to get this to work, although, if you read other reviews, which I recommend for further useful information, some managed just fine), some pieces were mislabeled (There is a review that sorts this out), and the directions aren't very clear...well I thought they were clear enough, but look where that got me, so be ready for that. So 3 stars for fun, good price, and faster than expected delivery.

Very happy with the kit. I just followed the picture and took my time. Just be sure not to use too much heat. The sound is very vintage fuzz face type.
