Revision as of 06:15, 1 May 2021
Here are pedal kits that are/were offered by Fuzzdog in the UK. We take no position on the kits and PCBs that Fuzz Dog makes available. We have purchased a number of PCBs from Fuzzdog in order to ensure that we have certain vintage-style pedals (meaning the guts are the same, or work-alike) available for rental. We do not believe in undercutting existing pedal manufacturers who offer original pedals at reasonable prices. Fuzzdog offers many such pedals in order for people to get a "more affordable" version of a pedal that's currently being offered for sale. Barring a few special exceptions, we will neither build, nor rent such pedals despite the fact we've accidentally purchased a couple of such pedals or PCBs.
If you want a pedal that makes a certain sound and that pedal is still in production by the pedal from the original manufacturer, we advise you purchase that pedal, or rent ours. While it may seem cheaper to build the pedal yourself, please be reminded that this does not include the price of the soldering station, or the other incidentals that you have to get in order to do the actual work to assemble a pedal (Drill or Drill Press, Bits, parts cabinets, etc...).
Now, there are certain pedal manufacturers that charge exorbitant prices for pedals that have very little, in terms of components. To these manufacturers, more often than not their cost is maybe $25.00 worth of parts. It is often also the case that such pedals come from electronic schematics that were worked out long ago. We have little sympathy for such pedal manufacturers when people make clones of their pedals because these manufacturers are charging exorbitant prices. We believe it to be perfectly ethical to clone and make available such pedals when those certain manufacturers are demonstrably preying on customers' lack of information.
Despite our moralizing and finger-wagging, if there are vintage pedals that you're looking to get and those pedals are either not available or perhaps they're only available because they are rare and expensive, but no longer being made, we think it's entirely reasonable to not want to spend stupid amounts of money for something that only might, from an audio standpoint, give you the sound that you want. Vintage pedals continue to die as components age out or burn up, and as people who own these things die, and as the curators of various estates inadvertently pitch these treasures into the trash.
In addition to vintage pedals, there are other cases wherein a pedal may have been made with a very small run and limited distribution (like the Kendrick Amplifiers "Buffalo Pfuz"). There are other cases where a certain model of pedal was made in a small batch for a particular artist (like the "Brian May Treble Boost"). In these cases as well, we endorse the recreation of such pedals and/or effects that have been effectively abandoned by the original manufacturer.
In any event, there are a number of pedals that are interesting that are no longer available from the manufacturer that originally developed them. In these cases, you would be well advised to either borrow or rent someone else's pedal, or, if you wanted to make a bigger investment, build your own.
And no, despite the fact that here at Thermionic Studios, we have built and continue to build pedals for the purpose of renting them out, we are not a "for-hire" pedal assembly shop.

Mark Dancer explains (email to Thermionic Studios dated 07-Apr-2021)!
I know this one seems a bit strange, saying that a Fuzz Dog pedal that is marketed as a tremolo is a clone of a pedal that is marketed as a vibrato, but
- the Magnavibe has a range of settings where it sounds more like a wobbly tremolo than a vibrato; and
- the Magnatone amps had a "tremolo" circuit that modulated the pitch rather than the volume (i.e., it was a vibrato).

Fuzzpups
The Fuzzdog "Fuzzpups" are simply very narrow PCBs that have been designed to fit inside of a Hammond 1590G style enclosure. These enclosures are so narrow that the input and output jacks have to be offset from one another lest the tips of the RST (Ring-Sleeve-Tip) jacks collide. They've been designed to be this narrow so many many pedals can be arranged one right next to another for maximimizing the use of space that is otherwise limited by the physical dimensions of a musician's pedalboard.

Buffers
Fuzzdog has made a few different line/pedal buffers available in case there is a need for clarity or to boost what would otherwise be a loss of high-end with the desire to use a lot of true-bypass pedals. While it's "true bypass" by itself can be fine and acceptable when there are one or two pedals in an instrument chain and as long as the cord length to the amp is short. As instrument chain lengths get longer and as the number of pedals in the chain increase, the need for a buffer or two also increases.
