Guitar Fuzz Effects Pedal Kit with Authentic Newmarket Germanium Transistors
This kit is based on the legendary fuzz face pedal. Instead of ultra rare germanium transistors, it uses new old stock Newmarket vintage NPN germanium transistors to give you that classic germanium fuzz, while keeping the cost down. This project is ideal if you're looking to get into guitar pedal building. A schematic and layout diagram will be provided with the kit.
