I REALLY fancy building a Maestro Fuzz clone based on the original. Point to point wiring etc… I’ve got a soldering iron sitting there doing nothing and some spare time during week days due to my job.

Does anyone know where people get housings, resistors, capacitors etc etc in the UK? Amazon seems to sell a load but I dont want 100x some value part that I wont ever use.

Also where do others find the right schematics?

    For general hobby electronics supplies https://shop.pimoroni.com have served me well over the years. As have https://thepihut.com (& a few others I can’t remember off the top of my head).

    Anywhere that sells arduino and/or raspberry pi boards will usually stock a wide selection of parts, & often in smaller hobbyist quantities.

    Have fun exploring & planning your project, wish I had the spare time for some side projects at the moment, maybe one day soon…

    UPDATE: for schematics & project ideas you could possibly start with https://www.instructables.com which has a selection of user created diy projects, including guitar pedals by the looks of it (although I have no idea if that’s the type of pedal you’re after, or the quality of particular projects)
