Rehousing a Behringer SF300 Boss FZ2 Hyper Fuzz Clone

Here's how I moved my Behringer SF300 over into a metal enclosure. • • Music: • Tranquility by Kevin MacLeod • Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song... • License: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/b... • Timecodes for scrobbling through if you want to skip the twee build process video and just get to the wiring diagram / demo: • Wiring: 10:00 • Demo: 15:50 • • The bypass remains buffered, using a momentary footswitch and off-board jacks for the audio and power. The pots and toggle switches are stock. • • Rehousing Behringer pedals is a much-discussed topic in the pedal world, as their circuits are often affordable spot-on recreations of vintage / hard to find / expensive pedals, but the cost is brought down by the build quality. See the JHS Show vlog for more on that. After the HM300 (A pretty good HM-2 clone, but not perfect) the one that gets the highest praise for its sound is the SF300 – it's spot on. There is no difference. The bass response is there, it stacks well, the boost function is powerful as hell and Fuzz 2 instantly transports you to Dopethrone territory. Wonderful stuff. Rehousing it has always been a goal of mine as I like to screw around with cheap pedals, much more than I do buying vintage ones. • • Important things to note: • • Pay attention when wiring the power. Running reverse voltage through a circuit isn't a great idea (I fried another SF300 by screwing up here.) • • If you do want to do offboard pots, it's 50Ka for the volume and gain and 50Kb for the bass/treble. • • If I was to do this again, I might put the jacks/power supply underneath the PCB rather than between the PCB and the top of the case, as that might allow for top-mounted jacks / give more clearance on the shafts for knobs. Hee hee. • • As there's not a full written guide anywhere as far as I can tell, is that something you'd be interested in? Let me know and I can put one together.
