If you would like to purchase one, we offer them as kits if you would like to assemble them yourself. Assembly is very simple and only requires a soldering iron, solder, and good ventilation. We take care of the rest. What started as a teaching tool for a local pedal-making class taught by a local amp technician has become a pedal we just have to share with you! We were given two simple requests: first, a powerful fuzz pedal that covers all the bases, from full, guttural tones to jerky, rough sounds. Check. Second, it had to be able to be placed almost anywhere in the chain, unlike the Fuzz Face, for example, which is known for being very picky about its placement. Thirdly, it had to be simple to build, easy enough for even the most novice solderers. We believe we have succeeded with the Knight School Fuzz, which is based on one of the most underrated fuzz circuits in existence: the Jordan Boss Tone. Originally, this device plugged directly into your guitar at a time when pedalboards weren't really " in vogue," so integrating it into a modern setup is not as simple a procedure as it is for most other vintage devices. Unlike many circuits of the era, the Boss Tone is not based on any other circuit. Most other venerable fuzz pedals copied each other in one way or another, but Jordan Electronics, whose engineers also built Geiger counters, took on the challenge of creating an original circuit, and they succeeded with the Boss Tone, even though the enclosure was not very user-friendly. Despite its integration difficulties, you can hear the Boss Tone on several classic albums by ZZ Top, The Black Keys, Spirit, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and many others. Our Knight School Fuzz is inspired by this formula, with a few value changes, different transistors for a more modern sound, and a Bias control that completely dissolves the sound into knotty madness when turned all the way up. Features: Bias: All guitar pedals operate at a certain voltage, and in analog pedals, especially transistor pedals like this one, changing the recommended supply voltage can produce interesting results. This control reduces the voltage from 9V to just under 5V. Sonically, this results in a “thinner” and “smoother” sound that many have compared to the sounds of video games. When this control is pushed to the max, the circuit produces a soft, crackling texture that evokes slight lower octave sounds. With this setting, you really have to put in some effort while playing to get the most out of it, but you'll be richly rewarded. Note: For all you experimenters out there, the Bias control destabilizes the entire circuit and gives you a kind of “controlled chaos” as you play. However, if your Bias knob is at maximum when you plug in the power cable, the pedal will oscillate and produce synth and drone textures until you stabilize it by turning the Gain knob. This will not happen again until you unplug and then plug the power back in with the Bias at maximum.
Gain: Many gain controls are tied to a specific semiconductor, and some are wired like volume controls that separate part of the circuit from the rest. This one is wired like the latter, but it separates the guitar from the rest of the circuit. In fact, it's identical to the volume knob on your guitar! If you keep this knob at maximum, you can control the gain level with your guitar. Power supply The Knight School Fuzz only accepts a DC power supply with negative center polarity, capable of providing 9 volts and at least 0.5 mA of current (more is acceptable). DIY kit information The printed circuit board has markings indicating the location of each component. The image below will help you identify the different components. You will also find a video below that will show you how to proceed.
