Basic Audio Scarab Deluxe



 Up until I made this my "fuzz" option was a Big Muff. It didn't get much use. You can't hear it in a live setting. I needed something  with a bit more grunt. I love this pedal, and its a stayer for me. I'm going to re-box it in something a bit more deluxe ( and smaller) at some stage. With the bias set to not too much fuzzy It's a an awesome distortion option ( for me). I found using some lower gain 2N5088 transistors produced better soundz.

Again I got the circuit and build info from drdfx. I chose a few of his to start with. In my view it seemed he had shortlisted worthy builds and I haven't been disappointed in his choices.

The circuit can also be found in vero layout.
