Dry-fit in an old purple housing.
"Production" versions will have the pots further up the pedal with more room for the boards. The "power on/of" switch is on the back of the Sag pot - as usual you can turn off the battery when not using it without removing the input cable.
Sounds killer...

Isn't the switch on the "Sag" potentiometer? However, very neat and tidy solution that way! I already wondered about the solder lugs of "Sag" looking differently and I thought that the two ones labelled SW were for a separate toggle switch. This is how KORG did it in many of their early instruments like the MS-20.

You are correct. Sag not level. Mis-typed.

So these are the super hot transistors of that vintage headphone amp that you acquired recently?

One super hot. The rest pretty good. #3 is perfect.
Q1 is a Russian surplus with a gain in 80-to-85 bucket.

Re: 32FZ pedals - small batch incoming
The cost of the enclosures has gone-through-the-roof. I have plain aluminium boxes, but not sure yet what to do with these pedals. I'll check around my suppliers and see what's available reasonably.fuzzbuzzfuzz wrote: ↑Fri Dec 12, 2025 12:36 amWhat colour case Laurie? Purple sparkle perchance?
