BYOC Leeds Fuzz

Here's Build Your Own Clone's deliciously awesome Leeds Fuzz! It's a clone of the Univox Super Fuzz and was used by Pete Townsend whilst he destroyed ear drums and gear without discretion. One of my first builds and it's a nice pedal. The internal trim is set to the most normal setting. My buddy Andrew played a Fender Squire Telecaster into a Laney Cub 10 Tube Amp (Tone 7, Volume 3, Gain 7). Enjoy!

I gotta ask the unasked questions. Have you compared it with a red one side by side and how does it compare ? This truly has become like THE Holy grail to me. I've been looking at these kits and I just can't take the heart brake if i solder it up and don't recognize that old sweet fuzzy sound

[ZanottiPedals]

@zongongo I've never played an original. I bought this because I'm a huge Who fan and he'd turn this on while smashing up his gear. The video tone is what it is but keep in mind I'm using single coils and a tube amp. Your gear is going to make all the difference when it comes to these old fuzzes.

Where did you get those cool skinny sliver knobs?

[ZanottiPedals]

@PhysicsForTheFuture Just take off the plastic knobs.

I'm tempted to build one of these now that we can get them here in the UK. That sounds great to me!

Easy to put together? I know nothing about electronics. Is this pedal standard (as comes) or did you mod it?

[ZanottiPedals]

@boardkingboy first one I built so yeah you'll be fine. I didn't have any experience before I built this just watch videos on how to solder and practice on the "Confidence Boost" that BYOC gives you when you order your first kit. Warning*** this pedal has a mind of its own which is why I like it. Get comfortable with it and your gear before you take it on stage. GL

Being a pathetic idiot that owned a perfect red and blue UNIVOX SUPER FUZZ, that I bought at a flea market back in about 1980 for A DOLLAR FIFTY !!! and loved all the way till about 2009, when I sold it on Ebay, at AUCTION !! for a measly $380.00 , because I needed MONEY!! dammit. NEVER EVER should have sold it , even for $800.00 !

i hate demos with no rhythm guitar and just a bunch of lead noodling. and how do you paint in the style of pete townshend?

[TheOrderoftheOwl]

BYOC is great! Especially if you get a thrill from soldering! Your finish is a lot better than mine. I went with a generic blue paint job.

I have made a ton of these BYOC's now they are kick ass! So great sounding, I spent thousands on boutique pedals before I discovered you could get most the same circuits for a quarter the price, cant say enough good things about them. The MAJOR problemn I have is that my paint jobs BLOW!!! I am gonna try your method- I went out and got a toaster oven and now I just need to know what Specific paint/primer/clearcoat you used? If you could shoot me a list that would be AWESOME- also GREAT VID

WOW... I REALLY love the BYOC-"Large-Beaver/Triangle-Mu­ff"!!! But holy-cow THIS pedal sounds like crap. IMHO...
