Clean build. This is what the "production" pedals will look like.

I'm back on-deck after being consumed by family (good) chaos for a few months. Am about to order housings and figure out the labelling.

The original pedal has a footswitch for tone - it switches between the two "sides" of a "Bone Ray" tone stack. My prototype above has a simple toggle switch rather than a footswitch, but I'll be experimenting with using a 100k potentiometer in place of the switch - this will give a "tilt" tone contr...

I've decided to drop the "32" labelling. Particularly with this pedal, "32OD" is interpreted by search engines to be a "320D" 3-series BMW...

I have an MZ-2 in pieces. Bought faulty. One of those projects that's been at the back of the workbench for a long time.

The build came out nicely. These take quite a bit of tuning - once I have it dialed in I'll do some clips (and send them to pepe?).

I also have some clips from the vintage one I repaired, so we can see how close the build with new components is.

There is something about vintage fuzzes ...

Months ago I did a repair locally on a vintage Ace Tone FM-2. This is my tribute build.

The original is a BEAST of a fuzz. I'm hoping mine comes close - I'll fire it up probably on the weekend.

Nearly 20 years ago... wow.

I'll definitely take the file transfer - with thanks!
