GIANTRobOT42O Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Hey guys I made some clones! I thought I'd show em off. The brown one is a Lovepedal Eternity Burst clone and the other is a Fuzz Factory. The drilling was done by eye so its not the prettiest but I don't care. They sound awesome and I didn't have to shell out 500 bones. Can't wait to get my next builds up and going. Shoegazer and Snowy White auto wah. Good Times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 How hard was the Fuzz Factory? I'm selling mine right now, but I might do a clone... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTRobOT42O Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 Its a pretty easy build dude. Finding that right transistors can be tricky but other than that its cake. I found a guy in the Czech Rep with some AC128s matched specificlly for the FF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found a guy in the Czech Rep with some AC128s matched specificlly for the FF. I will have to look into this then. I just hardly used it, and couldn't justify having the pedal sit around. If you don't mind me asking, how much was the cost of the build? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the cost of the build? It probably set me back about $40. Most the money goes towards the enclosure and switch. I wanted the same transistors Vex used in the original so those were alittle pricy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 By the original do you mean the "spam cans" used in the first ones or the ones that he currently uses? So how are you liking the Fuzz Factory? Also, got any clips? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chase1410 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Wow..Really impressed Robot....Those look baddass and I bet sound just as great!...I cant wait to see and hear the Auto-Wah...I'm gonna start to learn how to solder and hopefully build a few pedals...its always nice to see these come up and how people build em..different perspectives and all. Great Job man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTRobOT42O Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Wow thanks guys. Dubs the FF is awesome. Now I understand the hype. Shoegazer should be up and running tonight. Wish me luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Glad you're diggin it man. My Fuzz Factory is my favorite fuzz I've ever played. I don't think it's necessarily the "best" sounding but there's something about it that I love. You should build a SHO clone to stick in front of it.

Maybe I'll wire a SHO in there and put it in one box with two switches. Box of Rock style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bender 4 Life Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 every time i've seen this thread i've fought the overwhelming urge to do this.......but i'm tired of resisting so, I just HAVE to... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t_fvX242KTU&feature=related Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 You gave me an idea. Maybe I'll wire a SHO in there and put it in one box with two switches. Box of Rock style dude that sounds ****in sick I want one. Let me tell you though.. The SHO is way cooler before the FF. It's boring after you might as well just turn up the volume knob. Before, if you set the SHO low, it gives the fuzz some extra clarity and sparkly-ness that's totally awesome. Kinda like rolling your guitars volume back just a little bit but without cleaning it up so much. The best part is when you want some velcro fuzz but you need more sustain, you just crank the SHO into the FF and you get velcro fuzz with sustain for days. Plus you can just do some other craziness. I don't think my SHO or FF are ever leaving my board. It would be sweet to have both in one enclosure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTRobOT42O Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Yeah I think I read somewhere that the FF circut is basically a SHO into a Fuzz Face with a starve control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 The starve is the best. I love this one setting with the stab all the way down and it does this kinda glitchy octave down thing. But the octave is really prominent especially if you roll your guitars volume down a little. I'll post a picture of the settings or something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Anyone else want to put a SHO in their guitar? I need access to knobs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIANTRobOT42O Posted May 7, 2011 Author Share Posted May 7, 2011 Anyone else want to put a SHO in their guitar? I need access to knobs... It wouldn't be hard. The boards are real tiny so you can fit it in the control cavity. All you need is a 3dpt switch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 It wouldn't be hard. The boards are real tiny so you can fit it in the control cavity. All you need is a 3dpt switch That's what I'm thinking. What I would do is make the tone knob for the neck pickup (because it always stays on 10, gets way too dark if I lower it) and use that for the knob for the SHO, maybe make the other tone a "master" tone knob and could I wire it to run on a mini switch instead of the push switch like a standard pedal? That would be neat-o-riffic with the emphasis on riff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChanMan Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Impressive!!! Love the looks of the green one, too! Hmmm.... Ya know.... if you'd "cloned" a Gibson guitar, this thread would already be locked..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted May 7, 2011 Share Posted May 7, 2011 Fred, I think you would turn yourself into a Fuzz box if you could. The SHO is just a boost, not a fuzz... I sound like a pedal whore, but I really only have two fuzzes that I use, everything else is the amp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
