I Made Fuzz Pedal of Lego! - Build a Guitar Pedal in 10 min - Tutorial

How to make an easy DIY Fuzz Pedal in 10 minutes - step-by-step instructions on how to build Lego Fuzz pedal for electric guitar. This is one of the simplest circuit (schemes) of fuzz - slightly modified Bazz Fuss.
So, why Lego? First of all, for me every fuzz sounds as it is made of plastic. Secondly - Lego allows us to make this pedal without special tools. And most importantly - you can make a design of any color, decorate with any elements, and it will always be original!
You can make this pedal even if you have no experience at all. Then it will take you about 10 minutes (plus about 15-20 minutes for the Lego enclosure). But this pedal can be made even in 7 or even 5 min.
Don't be afraid to experiment! You can use slightly different details. For example, instead of 1n4148 diode can be 1n914 diode, instead of 4.7μF Electrolytic Capacitor you can use 2.2μF.
You will need:
Transistor MPSA13
Diode 1n4148
Film Capacitor 100nf
10k Resistor
Electrolytic Capacitor 4.7μF
100k potentiometer
DPDT Foot Switch Push Button
Two jacks - stereo for input and mono for output
9-volt Battery Connector

I am happy to see you back so soon my friend... Lol...Too cool, An awesome update to the first episode of yours I watched. (DIY Fuzz Pedal in 10 minutes) I liked and subscribed immediately after the viewing it. Because if the simple and fun way you presented the subject. I have now missed an episode since. I also watched the content you posted before that one. So thanks for keeping it fun and informative. Even while your country is going through hell. All I am able to do is send you and your country is; Best wishes and hopes, And all of the good energy I have. For an ending soon to the evil and aggression, That the Criminal Putin set upon your country Keep Well and Safe. Hope to see you back soon.

Thank you. I really appreciate it. I like to do some simple projects that everyone can repeat. For example How To Make An Electric Diddley Bow In 10 Minutes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ep6QZpl5mM6CrKc I am also very grateful for the kind words about Ukraine. We will definitely win!

[@poykehmusic]

The _first video_ on my YT channel was a jam with *Lego synthesizers!* 😀 I should build your circuit to try it out with my other synths. Thanks for the video.

[@Forehead_Fergus]

It sounds kinda like the fuzz from the song "spirit in the sky" by normal greenbaum. Great stuff man!

[@MrHardguitar]

Thank you. BTW, I'm not really a fan of Fuzz pedals. I have one in the pedalboard just to have the whole set ))) But I really like this one.

@@MrHardguitar What pedals do you like

[@riccardorubino2268]

Молодец 🎸😎 слава Украина ❤️

[@gudjon_jonsson]

I dont speak danish so i dont understand the tone

[@MrHardguitar]

I absolutely did not understand what you mean, but I completely agree.

[@chrisberrymanalo]

So is this the same as a Bazz Fuss?

[@Dehan.Y]

Can I use 2N3904 instead of MPSA13? Also Can I use 2 mono jacks?

[@chrisberrymanalo]

As long as it is npn

[@SunSimLord]

Excellent Channel and Pedal. Thanks for sharing. -❤️☀️

[@MrHardguitar]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@Erok480]

Awesome tutorial! Any link on where to buy the parts for the circuit?

[@MrHardguitar]

Hi. Thank you. I'm from Ukraine. So I don't think a link to the store where I buy it will help you, because it's also in Ukraine. Sorry 🙄

[@forktrus]

Hey Erok -- I would bet a year after the fact you have already figured out how to acquire the parts you need -- but if not -- and for those like me who are a year late to the party and see this comment -- sites like Tayby, Digikey and Mouser all sell electronics parts and ship them worldwide. Hope this helps whomsoever needs it!

[@leninchanam4751]

That's so cool 😮

[@MrHardguitar]

Thank you.

[@davidledford3522]

Id love to have one of those old communist era Russian guitars

[@dikinebaks]

very cool

[@steves1588]

pretty handy... but no drill? using a pocket knife?

[@лимонадик-ь4д]

Sounds like 8-bit games music)

[@dreamingkoala-lullabiesrel6036]

Great as usual

[@MrHardguitar]

Glad you think so! Thanks.

[@brunoferreira719]

Thank you, I like your videos they are somehow fresh and educational.

[@MrHardguitar]

Thank you very much 🤘🎸

[@Nafan60]

Interesting little thing!

[@Pyromancers]

maybe add diode protection in case you touch battery to contacts backwards?

[@MrHardguitar]

I will be grateful if you explain me the details.

[@Pyromancers]

If you use a Schottky diode (chosen because the voltage drop can be as low as .15V) you can put it in line with the battery connector so that electricity can only flow one way. Prolly easier to see pictures and circuit diagrams if you just google search diode protection circuit. You have inspired me to try out yer design with legos. I did a Lego guitar flamethrower and also drilled the legos to put in the potentiometer and 1/4" jack which felt very wrong. I'll try to find a way not to drill the legos on the pedal. Anyway, good work good sir. @@MrHardguitar

[@NataliaKozlenko]

The best pedal I ever seen!!!

[@valiumsound]

Hi, Mike, Try to use a germanium transistor like МП42 Б it sounds better than silicon also diod better germanium li, like Д9Б. This detail are rare for now, but still can be found

[@yanaloet4076]

Great Video,🎶🕺

[@MrHardguitar]

Thank you.

[@Enrique_Paul]

That was a smart guitar pedal

[@antoniomendoza5086]

excellent

[@poonspoonful]

Absolutely badass!
