The BYOC ESV fuzz is one of the best fuzz pedals I've owned. Its an easy and fun build too!

I've built the chorus and shredder. The chorus sounds great and the shredder is every bit as good as my Marshall shred master and smaller. The forums are informative and helpful. I'm looking forward to checking out the blues breaker model.

My E.S.V. Fuzz and E.S.V. Two-Knob Bender are my favorite pedals. My next build will be the Mouse.

You won't be sorry... I find it hard to believe cats are spending hundreds of dollars on MKII clones when this thing's out there for so cheap. With the correct attention of ear during tranny installation (finding the correct order) and biasing, this thing sounds as good as any Bender I've heard.

as good or better than anything available imo. I had a keeley TS9 and a AM silver...the byoc od made me sell both. it's more natural and transparent than the modded production TS pedals at least. I love it. (i've also built their trem, chorus, muff, optical comp, wah, ross, and a few others)

I highly recommend their kits.

Thanks, if you have any advice or tricks I'm all ears, the instructions are pretty explicit but I wouldn't turn down any advice. If you learned somethign about to orient the order of the tranny's let me know.

I have a Leeds Fuzz, and it's a great great pedal. Vintage mojo aside, Superfuzzes are noisy as all hell, and the Leeds design cuts down a LOT of the noise.

BYOC does not sell a Fuzz Factory clone. Do you mean Fuzz Face?

I'm about to take the plunge on a GGG Way Huge Red LLama clone. $40 was too good not to pass up. After that the BYOC triboost or large beaver is next...

@stinger - from a kit? Where do you get the fuzz factory info from
