High-Quality Small Batch Guitar Effect Pedal PCBs with JLCPCB Manufacturing

Fuzz Fields is an innovative guitar effect pedal that combines three modulated sounds to offer dynamically controlled fuzzy sound effects. Unlike traditional static pedals, Fuzz Fields can adjust the timbre in real time based on the dynamic input of the performer, achieving various effects such as "screaming", "swelling", "saturation" and "trembling". Its core feature is an inbuilt oscillator that can be modulated through external control, making it suitable for scenarios such as guitar tone exploration, synthesizer music, and live performances.

Design challenge

In order to achieve the audio effect function with the maximum quality within the limited space, the design of Fuzz Fields faces the following challenges:

1.Compact PCB design: All electronic components need to be integrated within a limited space to ensure that the size of the circuit board fits the standard effect pedal housing.

2.High-density assembly: Due to its complex functions, multiple components need to be arranged on the PCB, requiring high-density soldering and precise component positioning.

3.Multi-layer circuit board: To achieve complex circuit functions, a four-layer PCB design is adopted to ensure signal integrity and power supply stability.
