Make a fuzz pedal out of harmonic clipper? [message #16149]

Has anyone here made or heard a fuzz pedal made out of the harmonic clipper components?

I have a 400 Stereo that I don't use(its for sale here) but i do really like the Harmonic Clipper and would like that portion only in a pedal so I can use it with out having to cart around the huge amp.

Any advice?

Cheers

The original Harmonic Clipper circuit is very unusual in that it uses only one diode for the clipping section.

I don't know which version your amp has, but I have seen somewhere a schematic for a pedal version out there on the web. Have you tried Google?

It couldn't be that difficult to recreate in pedal form.

I think it would be the last series of clippers since it is in a K400B-4 amp.
