Thank you for the interference tip.
Look around for decorative wooden boxes.
Some have hinges, some inlays, most reasonably priced. Wooden cigar box for big circuits !
Get the right size and you have lots of room to do point to point work.
But seems like through the years smaller and smaller is the direction.
Whats next Nano Fuzz? How about a circuit embedded on a guitar pick and blue toothed…..
Oops I better patent that !
I used 12 ga house wire as a ground from the input to output jack.
Another piece for a 9v rail.
Larger wire does not work with a 1/4 watt iron.
Tried to solder to a penny flattened on the rail tracks…did not work.
Would need to use propane to do that.
My laser cut, made holes and etched the black plastic that I JB Welded the IC socket on to.
Switching color coded transistors (not shown) is like plug and play.
At the end of the day I like big wooden boxes….

Well decided to make my own box and attempt the Axis Face.
Sounds great and the three controls work well.
Electronic parts from Small Bear, Amazon and Mouser.
And thanks to Fuzz Central and Bret Robinson.
See 2 more pictures below….

Picture 3…
Found synonyms for Smooth Attack and Level.
Hence Fizz Foam and Fuzz…

I had a hard time getting my 1970’s era muff fuzz to work. Found a bad resistor.
So:
1) Check General Guitar Gadgets for a circuit diagram (if not here)
2) Check for bad solder joints
3) Check all resistor color bands to make sure they are correct (That was my problem, one was incorrect)
4) Try a new electro cap, they do dry out over time.
Hope this helps. That circuit is a tight squeeze in that small enclosure.

I am not an expert by any means. But if you would like to get your project going quickly,
go to DIYstompboxes.com , join the forum , and post your project in “Building your own stompbox” (create a new topic). Describe your issue(s) but you best include the circuit diagram, and photos top and bottom if you can.
They will have it figured in a few hours.
