Here's an offering for a kit of components for creating your very own Bonamassa type Fuzz Face circuit. All components included in the kit have been hand picked. The transistors in the kit have been fully tested and analyzed for functionality and both Hfe and leakage value, and are best suited for this type of FF circuit, which are very low leakage types.  Also, the transistors utilized in this kit are the original type and manufacturer that were used in the original Dunlop Fuzz circuit.
The components included in the kit are everything needed to construct the FF circuit. Please note that there isn't a PC board, In/Out/Pwr jacks, or an enclosure. This kit was originally designed to be constructed on either a perforated pc board or on turret style terminals. This allows you to customize your circuit in your own way. Also, all fixed resistors are 1% film for stability.
A schematic diagram will be included for circuit information as well as for component placement.
Note: Capacitor C1 (47pf) which is included in the kit may or may not be needed depending on your build. Some of the original FF circuits did not utilize the 47pf capacitor.

Original transistors used in the kit are MP39B for Q1 and 1T308B for Q2.


Please note that some of the components in the kit may look physically different than the photos. This is due to different suppliers and availability of components, but the parts will be in spec with the circuit. Also, the panel mount potentiometers may have a coating on them which makes them feel sticky, this is applied at the factory to resist corrosion and oxidation, it can be easily removed with contact cleaner or isopropyl alcohol.

Notice: This kit requires the knowledge of reading schematic diagrams and soldering skills!
