Shaggy Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovekraft Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 Well, it should definitely clip if driven at any real level - you may not like the sound, but it's a fuzz, without doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 i like fuzz, i hope it will sound really electronic and harsh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted August 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 this is what i made of it, but it wont work, is it possible i burned the transistor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukeR Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 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.

lovekraft Posted August 24, 2004 Report Share Posted August 24, 2004 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: 2n2221/22 data sheet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaggy Posted August 25, 2004 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2004 thanks, i soldered base and collector wrong, i hope it now works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
