Fuzz Transistor Distortion

I’ve been reading and researching a lot on modular DIY and was feeling ready to try building something completely from scratch.

I found a schematic for a basic transistor fuzz distortion module that Vult (VCV module designer) had posted online: Vult Blur schematics

I also found this technique from Fishboy Tech to wire up the power header.

I didn’t really know what I was doing, but ordered some parts and a few perma-proto breadboards and got to work.

The panel was made from part of a CD case and some tape – I’ll do something more permanent later.

To my great surprise, it worked (though I’d wired the potentiometer backwards!). My studio is starting to resemble more of a workshop than a studio!
