   The high price of boutique versions, the inadequate reissues, the pantheons of rock legends who've used it,
and the extremely low level of build difficulty has made the fuzz face one of the most popular pedals among DIYers.
 You can't be serious about copping vintage tones without a good fuzz face...and this is one of the best.

E.S.V. Fuzz
(extra special vintage)
If you're looking for absolute
vintage fuzz face tone, the
BYOC E.S.V. Fuzz is it.  The
E.S.V. series Fuzz features
extra beefy traces and solder
pads for better continuity,
easier soldering, and more
abuse.  We've also added
1/2watt carbon comp resistors,
those shiny blue Vishay
electrolytic caps, and that big
flat yellow film cap for extra
vintage mojo.

The  BYOC E.S.V. Fuzz comes
with a hand selected set of the
extremely rare NOS Philips
AC127/01.   Like the E.S.V.
2-Knob Bender kit, the E.S.V.
Fuzz was inspired by our
recent acquisition of a large lot
of pristine AC127/01.  These
are, in our opinion, the holy
grail of negative ground
vintage fuzz tone.  Very thick,
very wooly and very dark
sounding.  But with focus,
clarity, sustain, and the ability
to clean up into a nice grindy
overdrive just like a vintage
fuzz face should.  

And since these are NPN
transistors, as opposed to the
PNP NKT275 or AC128 that
work best with a positive
ground, the AC127/01 works
best with negative ground.  So
they get along with all your
other pedals and can run off a
normal power supply, but still
produce the vintage fuzz tone
you expect.
This is our easiest kit to build so it is ideal for beginners.
