Fuzz, help

[Shaggy]

i have the parts for this circuit, i have a 2n2222 transistor instead

will the circuit work correctly?(think)

i have soldered it completely, but i forgot to buy an instument cable to conect it to my amp , so i cant test it yet

Well, it should definitely clip if driven at any real level - you may not like the sound, but it's a fuzz, without doubt.

i like fuzz, i hope it will sound really electronic and harsh

[Shaggy]

this is what i made of it, but it wont work, is it possible i burned the transistor?

Hi man,

I DOUBT that you have burnt out the transitor- the 2N2222 is silicon, and they can really take a battering, in most circumstances. I would try to make it without the pot from the positive nine volt first- it is much easier to follow the schematic, get it working, and then mod. Its pretty late at night here (and I have had a night out) so i wont try and trouble shoot it now, but ill try and have a look in the morning (if I get the time).

Actually, I would ask Ansil (he is a member here). He could tell you, I am sure.

Actually, to be completely honest, I doubt that this would be a very good sounding circuit (no offence). There is heaps of great fuzz schematics online. (it is possible that this circuit is a dud [i doubt it ] but I would try and make something like a silicon Fuzzface- the schematics are everywhere- it is easy to build- and easy to find help if you get stuck)

Anyway,

take care all.

Luke

If it doesn't male any noise, you've probavly got the transistor hooked up wrong - check the pinout on your transistor to make sure you don't have the leads transposed. Maybe this will help:

thanks, i soldered base and collector wrong, i hope it now works
