V828 Italian fuzz circuit board made with a phenolic substrate for an even closer match to the vintage production boards. Phenolic boards are found in many vintage electronics before the use of fiberglass became common. This board is a recreation of the circuit board found in the V828 Vox Tone Bender pedals. The board is styled after the Italian made version which was also sold as the Jen Fuzz. When drawing the layout, original boards were closely referenced to ensure a proper match and fit. The copper traces have a surface treatment providing protection from corrosion. This board uses unique PCB mounted tags for the offboard wiring. A combination of S-HEYE-A eyelets and S-H137 solder tags (each sold separately) can be used to approximate the originals. For a detailed drawing of the parts and connections originally used on this board, please see the layout drawing linked below.

The BC560 is a silicon general purpose PNP transistor in a TO-92 package. The BC560’s typical applications include signal processing, amplification, and switching.

The Better Setter tool is essentially a mini set square for control knobs ensuring the knobs are lined up perfectly every time. The U-shaped slot is fitted around the pot shaft and the adjustable straight edge is then aligned and set to the edge of the enclosure. The two white lines on the U-shaped slot can then be used to set the knob to the beginning or end of the pot’s travel. Works best with 7mm bushing potentiometers.

LF347 quad op amp in a 14-pin DIP package. The LF347 is a low cost, high speed quad JFET input operational amplifier with an internally trimmed input offset voltage ( BI-FET II™ technology). The device requires a low supply current and yet maintains a large gain bandwidth product and a fast slew rate. In addition, well matched high voltage JFET input devices provide very low input bias and offset currents. The LF347 is pin compatible with the standard LM348. This feature allows designers to immediately upgrade the overall performance of existing LF348 and LM324 designs. The LF347 may be used in applications such as high speed integrators, fast D/A converters, sample-and-hold circuits and many other circuits requiring low input offset voltage, low input bias current, high input impedance, high slew rate and wide bandwidth.

Linear taper, vertical mount, Alpha pots with a 6.35mm shaft diameter and a center notch (detent). The center notch is useful for builds where the center position of the pot is commonly used such as panners or EQ controls. These 9mm pots are popular in DIY guitar pedals, synthesizers, and other projects. Mounting nut and washer included.

Original Cliff sealed and switched blue jack. Fully threaded. Many types of professional music equipment nowadays use high power components, and need to be cooled by fans. Fans draw in dust and pollutants which can adversely affect the contacts of conventional jacks, with exposed contacts. This sealed jack avoids possibility of contamination of contacts by means of a sealing cover over the top and bottom of the jack.
