Jumpin' Jesus! Handmade, hybrid silicon/germanium fuzz pedal

Description

Hello all, thanks for stopping by.
You’re looking at a handmade silicon / germanium fuzz pedal with tons of sweet spots on it. From light crunch to total doom, with sputtery, synthy, 8-bity choppy parts in between - it does it all.
The pedal is "All That Fuzz" - that I used to offer - in new clothes. Same circuit (found some extra circuit boards), new enclosure (ran out of the smaller than usual wooden ones I used for this build). Hence, in the demo video, you'll see All That Fuzz. This one will sound precisely the same, and the controls will do precisely what ones on All That Fuzz did.
HERE'S THE DEMO VIDEO
In a nutshell:
Hybrid design - high gain silicon transistor stage pushing two low gain germanium transistor stages into full saturation and beyond.
Bias control - takes your tone from muffled, through wide open, through rough and aggressive to choppy, dying, mis-biased amp sound.
LOTS of volume on tap.
One knob tone control with separate midrange response knob.
Standard 9V power jack, takes less than 20mA, happy to take 12V for more headroom.
True bypass.
A bit more detail? There you go:
This pedal is built with three transistor stages. The first one that your signal meets is a modern, high gain silicon stage. Through tone control, it feeds a vintage, NOS germanium transistor stage, that feeds another one just like itself. I took those transistor out of a sealed box myself. They were never used before. The box was dated (by hand!) at early 80’s.
The knobs:
VOL - pretty self-explanatory. Output volume control. Use it with caution. DO NOT set it to noon before you plug that pedal in for the first time. It’s really loud.
MID - the midrange control. Scoop the mids to the left, boost them to the right. The scoop/boost takes place around the 1kHz sweet spot. Most noticeable when the tone knob is not in any of its extreme positions.
BIAS - it’s the bias control of the two germanium stages. Most natural response of the pedal is achieved when this knob is set to around 9-10 o’clock. Turn it left to calm the pedal down or muffle it. Turn it to noon and past for some nasty 8-bit action.
TONE - quite obvious. More highs to the left, more lows to the right. The control is put BEFORE the final amplification stage, so it also affects which frequencies are getting distorted and fuzzed out.
GAIN - yeah, you want to max it out. Yeah, don’t. At least during your first ride. With gain set just above minimum and bost at 8 o’clock you get a quite nice, light crunchy drive. But just touch one of those knobs and it’s goodbye to Mr. Nice Guy.
Your pedal ships out of Poland - smack dab in the centre of Europe. Wrapped up safe and cozy. Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask me!
Thanks for watching and have a great day! Or night!
