Building a Bazz Fuss fuzz pedal

Hey, what should we do today? How about making a fuzz pedal? Cool, I knew you were up for it. As you may be aware, I’ve recently been helping my friend Adam with a few guitar projects and he was keen to get started on pedal making (specifically a fuzz pedal). I suggested the Bazz Fuss as an easy starter project. It’s only 5 components (and a pot) and it sounds good too. It's designed primarily for a bass guitar, but it sounds great with a normal guitar too. Here it is (note that I laid mine out slightly differently, and I eventually swapped the 10k resistor for a 100k one): [from http://diyyoguitare.hautetfort.com/archive/2010/07/13/bazz-fuss.html] And here's my very professional layout: Since I hadn’t already made a Bazz Fuss myself, I decided it might be fun to do so. Apart from having one for myself, it would be handy to have one to refer to if Adam ran into any issues while he made his. I decided to challenge myself a bit and see if I could fit it into a Hammond 1590A enclo...

Building a Simple Wireless Energy Transfer Circuit step by step

In this article, I will show you how to build a simple Wireless Energy Transfer Circuit. It's really simple circuit made of 5 parts, even a beginner shouldn't have any problems with building this. Wireless energy transfer circuit I also improved it since my last video, made better secondary coils that work on larger/longer distances. Things you will need: 1. Transistor BD139 Transistor BD139 Or you can use these alternatives: BD135, BD137, 2N4921, 2N4922, 2N4923, BDW55, BDW57, BDW59. (You need only one, not all of them) 2. Foil capacitor 1nF 100V Foil capacitor 1nF 100V Voltage should be more than 16V, you should use this one because of its size (it will fit on PCB as we need it) Note that: 1000 means 1000pF = 1nF tags: Wireless Energy Transfer Circuit 3. Foil capacitor 4.7nF - 100V Note: 4700 = 4700pF = 4.7nF 4. Foil capacitor 100nF - 63V Note: 0.1 means 0.1uF here; 100nF 5. Resistor 5k6 Ohm, 0.5W Resistor 5k6 Ohm, 0.5W 6. And a 5x6 holes large piece of universal PCB. 5x6 hole...
