A silicon Fuzz Face with BC108 transistors and knobs for Tone, Fuzz and Volume with an internal trimmer to set the pre-gain level.
For Cormac in Waterford.

A clone of the Vox Distortion Booster V8162, which originally came in a small box plug-in like the Vox Repeat Percussion. It’s essentially a silicon Fuzz Face type circuit but with a less woofy, heavy sound and all the rich harmonics you’d expect. It uses two BC108 transistors, metal film resistors and two high quality K40Y-9 capacitors. The trimpot replaces the ‘gain’ resistor so it’s maximum output can be set to taste. Finished in a silver vein powdercoat.
For Kalle in Germany.

A Vox Repeat Percussion clone again using BC108/9 and 2N2646 transistors, Rate and Depth knobs with a Rate range switch, side-mounted jacks, yellow mini-curl knobs and a black hammertone finish.
For Finn of Ladydoll in Cork.

Another Vox Repeat Percussion clone with controls for Rate and Depth and a Rate range switch. Fitted with cream chicken-head knobs and finished in a black hammertone.
For Fabio in Spain.

A clone of the Fulltone ’70 fuzz built on tagboard. It’s essentially a silicon Fuzz Face which uses BC108 transistors along with the addition of smoothing caps and a germanium clipping diode. Quite a beefy, full-bodied fuzz due to its 0.1uf output cap with quite a sweet sound. Along with the Volume and Fuzz knobs, there’s also a Mids knobs which supposedly offers extra clarity and cut, though its usefulness is debatable. Also features an internal trimmer to adjust the bias to taste.
For Paul of Mia Sparrow.
