Now then, hope you are having a great day. Today we are building a Bazzfuss. One of the simplest fuzz circuits of all time but also one great sounding pedal! The circuit itself uses 6 components. A 10K resistor. A transistor (mpsa13, BC108c, 2N5088 are all great). A 220nf capacitor. A 4.7uf capacitor. A 47uf capacitor. And finally a 5mm red LED.
You can find all of these parts readily available online from electronic component shops, ebay etc.
You can also find full kits for this build on pedal building websites such as Fuzzdog, Jedspeds, buildyourownclone etc.
A little disclaimer, I am a time served engineer and am comfortable with using a soldering iron. If you would like to get into building your own pedals (I guess the reason you are watching this is because you are) then please ensure you are feeling confident in using a soldering iron, if not, do some practice first. Ensure you are soldering in good light and have spare components just incase. Also, have fun!

10:58 Outro and Hugs!
It doesn't mention about wiring the potentiometer up. I thought it did, sorry about that. You want to wire pot lug 1 to ground and then pot lug 2 to your output.
