Questions

How big is the Fuzz pedal 11 PCB?

It measures 81.3 × 62.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the Fuzz pedal 11 use?

82 parts, built around the MPSA42. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the Fuzz pedal 11 KiCad files?

From the matjutras/faultfinder repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is devices/fuzz_pedal_11/fuzz_pedal_11.kicad_pcb and its schematic devices/battery_protection_09/battery_protection_09.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the Fuzz pedal 11 design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask matjutras before reusing the design.
