Finished a clone of the classic Jordan Boss Tone in a more versatile enclosure the other day. Best fuzz I have tried on steel yet it absolutely sings!



This has me thinking what are other classic fuzz circuits that work well on PSG?

John: Is this a circuit that you wired yourself from a schematic on the internet or elsewhere?
Or is this a kit that you assembled?

I source components and hardware from Tayda electronics.

I used ProCo Rat's when I played steel in a band. I had older ones and newer ones and couldn't really tell any difference in them. I liked the sound of all of them.

I had an old MSA fuzz that they used to mount in some of the old Classic series laying around, so I felt enterprising one day a few months ago and mounted it in a stomp box enclosure and wired it up as a stand alone unit. It was supposed to be a Boss Tone clone and I think it is pretty close.

John, Thank you for the PCB link. I just bought one and I will try to build it over the summer.
