Yeah, FZ-2 is just a super fuzz with a 20 dB cut boost hi low EQ. And then you can basically just use the EQ as a clean boost on the third mode.

After some struggling with patches and connectors board is almost done! Almost because I'm waiting to Cioks Adam PSU to put underneath.

Constant tweaking today to make this work for bass.

This is awesome!!!! What's the second fav switch for and what's under the polytune / ditto?

yeah I know I posted mine not that many days ago, but I think with the addition of the cosmichorus i am "done" with this bastard (or at least until I get realllllllllly bored). I just need to pick up a replacement volume pedal for the end of the chain so I can tame the noise sometimes

I changed my order around and now the mini is after all the modulation and before the delay/trem/verb. It really seems to give the whetstone and particle a kick in the ass

The second fav is switch is actually a channel switch for the amp, and under the plolytune/ditto lies a pedalboard interface (send/return/amp/f.sw).
Still thinking of a way to make pedalboard wider or get pedals abit closer, my OCD is killing me seeing the decimator slightly off board.
Here's what it looks like from the back:

That's one carefully laid-out little board!

how do you like the Wahoo?

I beg to differ...

I'd be very curious to hear about the actual circuit differences, cause the SuperFuzz clone I tried -wich was as close to the real thing as I could find- didn't sound identical to the boss, pretty far from it actually. The superfuzz's harsh octave thing just isn't the same as on the FZ-2, and neither is the overal eq, regardless of how you set the controls on the boss.

Polytune -> Mini/Hawk -> HOF Mini -> DIY Pep Box -> LPB -> Splitter

need, repeater, meatball, and decomposer. need to find a spot for the sparkle motion

White board of sweet ooey-gooey goodness:

The Wahoo is really great for what I need it for. I live pretty close to the city's radio towers, so anything with an antenna will pick up bad radio noise. It can do a lot more than just wah sounds - it can get very very weird especially once you start to program it. Besides the wah, I end up using its envelope filters quite a bit. I had one of the very early ones when they came out that had a flaw with a internal connection port. It broke a couple of months ago, and the company replaced it for free with a brand new one so props to them for good customer service too. It also seems to take whatever fuzz I throw at it (before or after) with little difficulty. The buffer in it I don't notice any tone suckery.

The diode clipping is set up a little different, and opamps are used in a spot or two instead of bjts. Also, that active EQ in the Fz2 can go a long way in changing the sound. Still, they are very close to the same.
