BC183C Transistor

Guitar Fuzz Effects Pedal Kit

This kit is based on the legendary fuzz face pedal. Instead of germanium transistors, it uses newer, more commonly available NPN silicon transistors to give you a harsh and sharp fuzz, while keeping the cost down. This project is ideal if you're looking to get into guitar pedal building.
 

The following components are included in this kit:

• Instructions  x 1
