Acid Bath

Fuzzzzzzz

The ACID BATH is a thick fuzz beast based on a silicon fuzz face circuit. It does the good stuff that made that circuit famous, including clean up with your guitar's volume knob. I included a bias trimmer on the PCB so you can get different sounds. I bias them to 4.5V before shipping, but you can adjust the trimmer to bias lower for gated fuzz tones and higher for more bloated goodness. There's even a little bias test point on the PCB for your multimeter, how about that. Also notable: the transistors are socketed, so you can try your own. I go through a few and test the gains to find a pair that I think sounds great, but my feelings won't be too hurt if you want to try other transistors (NPN). I included some pads where you can solder in a very small capacitor (try 40pF), if you want to shave off some high end treble, but I left it out because I think it sounds perfect as is. Like all fuzzes of this nature, sounds best first in your pedal chain. Left knob is volume, right is FUZZZZ.
