DALLAS ARBITER™ FUZZ FACE™ REPLICA COMPLETE KIT
DALLAS ARBITER™ FUZZ FACE™ REPLICA COMPLETE KIT
Couldn't load pickup availability
A complete kit to build a Dallas Arbiter™ Fuzz Face™ replica in either the PNP or NPN version, with options for the Easy Face and the boutique Late 60's and Early 70's versions.
About the effect
The Fuzz Face™ is the round, two-transistor fuzz behind a lot of classic late-60s guitar tone. The NPN silicon version is the one we recommend for a simple first build. The layouts add a 10k trimmer that isn't in the original schematic, a worthy addition for more tonal options.
What you get
- All the parts to build either the PNP or NPN version, including the PCB and transistor sockets
- A pair of low-gain NPN silicon transistors and a pair of low-gain PNP silicon transistors that sound great in this circuit
- For a germanium version, get your transistors from Small Bear and use them with this kit. BC108 or BC109 silicon transistors also need to come from another source.
- Kit For Fuzz Face™: the base kit, with a 2-knob enclosure
- Late 60's Option: boutique Late 60's version; enclosure drilled for 4 knobs instead of 2, plus 2 extra pots, 2 extra knobs and 2 extra resistors
- Early 70's Option: boutique Early 70's version; enclosure drilled for 3 knobs, plus 2 extra pots, 1 extra knob and the extra resistors, caps, diodes and trimmer needed
- Easy Face Option: Joe Gagan's Easy Face; enclosure drilled for 3 knobs, plus 2 extra pots, 1 extra knob and 1 extra resistor
- Enclosure: 125B, 1590B (smaller), 1590BB (larger) or No Enclosure

Excellent! Super fast shipping as well.
Great kit and directions. First time building my own and had enough info to get it together, then troubleshoot when it didn’t work! Good feeling when I heard that fuzzzz
Super fun build. It was my first time soldering and all went well. Pedal works great!
Lots of products to choose from, will buy from again!!
The GGG kits are top notch. I`ve built several. Seller is very supportive and ships fast.
Good golly Miss Molly General Guitar Gadgets ROCKS!
Great pedal kit, shipped fast and came with all the parts.
Quick shipping, nice diagrams on site.
Received item on time and came as described. Their website provides the instructions and schematics and offers different build options. I won't be able to actually build the pedal for a few months. but hopefully their customer service is solid if there are any issues.
Great seller! Good communication about their products. Fast shipping. The parts are separated so they are easy to sort. I can’t comment on the sound of the pedal because I haven’t finished the kit yet. They have a lot of good information about building pedals and instructions for each kit on their website and links to other sites with more information about building pedals.
JD has been amazingly helpful with my first build! It also sounds great. Hopefully going to do another build sometime soon!
✌️
