Betcha never seen one of these before!

[The Guilds of Grot]

A early fuzz box that plugs directly into the amp and then the guitar into it!

When I plugged it in it worked intermittently.

I took it apart and apparently a wire came off the jack, pot, switch, or circuit board and I can't figure out where to solder it back on to!

I haven't managed to find it on a price list so it's a bit of a mystery. How "Guildian"! :lol:

Cool ! That`s probably one of the first big muffs ever. Nice score mate.

There are two similar one:

Hohner BF-55 Dirty Booster:

Kadent Fuzz Box:

They seem to be all from one and the same manufacturer, I searched but I didn't find any schematics for it. Maybe the picture of the opened Kadent box helps a bit.

Here are 3 pictures of exactly your box before you got it:

Ralf you are the man when it comes to tracking stuff down on the internet!

I've quit looking at ebay since I can't buy anything right now so I missed that other one. The photo with the cover off just might be helpful.

Not surprising that there are other units with different branding on them. Guilds pedals and amps from the period were all made by someone else and just "badged" Guild.

My knob is also not original. The knob on the Kadent probably is as it looks like the knobs that are on the Guild wah-wah pedals.

Interesting that the Kadent model has a "stereo" plug!

Kurt: Actually, the pictures of that Guild one that I posted are 100% exactly what you have! All little white spots match exactly the one you have! When you said your's also came without the original knob I got curious and compared the pictures. So what you have is also pictured on other webpages on the web. I can't say exactly if or when it as sold last time.

Well what do you know, it sure is! I've had it for a while now. That must have been the ebay posting that I bought it from. I thought the posting you referred to was more recent.
