Build Your Own Clone Fuzz Pedal Kit

$55.00 – Sold Out

Classic Fuzz Kit

The BYOC Classic Fuzz is a Silicon transistor fuzz based on the venerable Fuzz Face.  The addition of the BIAS knob and FULL/THIN/FAT switch make it incredibly versatile. The BIAS knob lets you dial in smooth sustaining fuzz, harsh velcro fuzz, or gated video game-like fuzz.  The FULL/THIN/FAT switch lets you choose between the bottom heavy, booming sounds of a vintage 60's fuzz, a nice full fuzz with tighter lows, or a thin raspy fuzz of the late 70's.  All jacks are located on the top.  9V battery or standard 9VDC negative tip power.  True bypass.  This is a very easy build and is highly recommended for beginners.

*The listed price includes a bare enclosure, red diffused LED, black DC jack, and black BYOC knobs.

Build Your Own Clone Crown Jewel Drive & Boost

$124.99 – Sold Out

Crown Jewel w/ unpainted enclosure

The Crown Jewel from Build Your Own Clone is the ultimate drive and boost combo. It is not a clone of anything. It is an amalgamation of the best qualities from many different circuits to create something entirely new that is capable of producing a range of overdrive and distortion tones like no other analog pedal has before.

With a parametric midrange, and 3-way Mid Q switch, the 3-band equalizer allows you to voice the drive channel in almost any way imaginable.

The hard and soft clipping switches allow you to select 9 different textures of distortion. Hard Ge (Germanium) clipping is similar to the clipping in the Klon Centaur, Maxon OD-855, and MXR Dist +. Hard Si (Silicon) clipping is similar to DOD 250, ProCo RAT, Marshall Shredmaster, Fulltone OCD*, Boss MT-2, and Boss DS-1. Soft Si clipping is similar to the Ibanez Tubescreamer, Boss SD-1, Boss OD-1, Zendrive*, Marshall Blues Breaker, King of Tone, and Timmy. There’s also Soft LED clipping or no clipping at all. And you can also use soft and hard clipping simultaneously like the Boss HM-2, DOD FX53, and other more obscure dirt pedals.

The Crown Jewel has an internal charge pump that provides 18 volts to the drive channel circuit while still using your standard 9VDC negative tip power supply. The 18V/9V switch lets you decide how much voltage is supplied to the drive channel. Use 18V when you need more headroom or output. Use 9V for more traditional overdrive and distortion characteristics.

The boost channel is completely independent from the drive channel. You can turn it on and off even if the drive channel is off. The boost channel is modular. Changing the module is easy. Just remove the back of the enclosure, pull out the old module from its socket, and plug in the new module. The Crown Jewel comes standard with the LPB module

Build Your Own Clone Tremolo Kit

$59.99 – Sold Out

Tremolo Kit

The tremolo has become one of b.y.o.c.'s most popular kits through word of mouth. And with good reason....the difficulty of the build is low, it's simple to use, and it just sounds good. This kit is based on the EA(Electronics Austrailia) Tremolo. It's a great vintage sounding trem like you would find on an old Blackface Fender Amp. The amplitude modulation is done with transistors, so unlike most opto-coupler based trems, you don't get an "on/off" sound on slower speed settings and there is much less current draw. It's also a lot easier to build. And the LED status light blinks in time with the speed

Build Your Own Clone Classic Compressor Kit

$59.99

Classic Compressor Kit

Our 5 Knob Compressor is the pinnacle in the evolution of the Dynacomp/Ross circuit. Yet some people still prefer the lower-fi vintage sound and simplicity of a straight up Ross compressor clone. For those people, we offer the Classic Compressor. It has no modifications, just the standard Sustain and Level knobs. The circuit is true to the original Ross gray compressor and comes with the CA3080E chip and 2N5088 transistors (these are the semi-conductors currently used in the Keeley Compressor). 1% Metal film resistors, polyester metal film caps, a double sided PCB, and Neutrik jacks make this kit a bargain when compared to other Ross clones. And yes, this pedal is true bypass.

Build Your Own Clone Spring Reverb Kit

$69.99

Spring Reverb Kit

The BYOC Spring Reverb features the Belton BTDR-3H. The Belton BTDR reverb modules have quickly become regarded by DIYers and boutique pedal builders as one of the best digital spring reverb modules ever. Despite it's clunky size (which has earned it its nickname, "The Brick"), it's easy to design around, is low noise, and just sounds better than any of the DSP reverb modules. With Reverb Level and Dwell knobs, you can dial in anything from just a subtle hint of vintage spring reverb to giant cathedral reverberation that lingers forever. Surf to New Wave. Rockabilly to Garage Rock. The BYOC Spring Reverb has it covered. It can run on a single 9v battery or 9VDC power supply, but it can also use an 18VDC power supply for increased headroom.

*The listed price includes a bare enclosure, red diffused LED, black DC jack, and black BYOC knobs.

Build Your Own Clone Green Pony

$65.00

Green Pony w/ unpainted enclosure

The OD-820 was Maxon's answer to the popularity of the Klon Centaur.  While it's not a clone of the Centaur, it still employs the same dual-ganged drive knob concept that gives the Centaur its ability to go from a completely clean transparent boost to an overdrive and an internal charge pump that takes your standard 9 volt power supply and increases the voltage for extra headroom.  Where the two circuits really differ though is in the actual distortion circuit.  The OD-820 uses Maxon's (and Ibanez's) famous Tubescreamer circuit.  This is a huge advantage for DIY-ers since there are many well documented modifications for the Tubescreamer, and most of them apply to the OD-820. 

Another place where the OD-820 circuit differs is in the way its dual-ganged drive knob works.  As you turn up the gain on the Centaur, it shunts clean signal to ground.  And as you turn down the gain on the Centaur, it shunts the overdrive signal to ground.  The Centaur sounds amazing with the gain knob mostly clockwise or mostly counter clockwise, but this method of gain control causes some tone loss when the drive knob is set more towards the middle, the same way adding a master volume control to a tube amp does.  It's not much, but it is noticeable, especially when you A/B it with an OD-820.  The OD-820's drive knob doesn't shunt any signal to ground, so it keeps your tone and pick sensitivity fully intact throughout the entire rotation of the drive knob.

The BYOC Green Pony is based on the Maxon OD-820, but we've added all the obligatory Tubescreamer mods as stock options.  On the outside, you'll notice we've added a NORM/THIN/FAT switch which allows you to modify the bass response and gain and a LED/NONE/Si switch that allows you to modify the clipping.  On the inside, we made the Si (silicon) clipping asymmetrical and changed the value of one of the capacitors in a low pass filter so that it doesn't cut as much treble, thus reducing the dreaded mid-range hump. 

Another neat thing about the OD-820 is that it has a JFET input buffer that uses the 2SK246 transistor just like the BOSS FA-1 FET PreAmp.  The kit comes with parts to do the FA-1 mod to give the the Green Pony's "clean boost" function that same jangly high impedance JFET sparkle. But if that doesn't sound good to you, then don't do it....it's optional.

If you're a fan of the Tubescreamer, you absolutely must build this kit, because it is going to be your new favorite overdrive.  This isn't just another modified Tubescreamer.  If you're a fan of the Klon Centaur, you should give this a try.  It has less noise, a fuller frequency response, no dull spots in the middle of the drive pot's rotation, and it has true mechanical bypass.

Listed price includes a bare enclosure, red LED, black BYOC knobs, and black internal nut DC jack.

Build Your Own Clone Mouse
