gosh these are cool. way nicer than standard box caps. where from?

no schematic?! denied!

💯 the gospel according to RG Keen: http://www.geofex.com/article_folders/carbon_comp/carboncomp.htm

no idea, but from my build report I had these mods: - R4 - 4.7M, R2 - 6.8K (for increased/improved output volume) - 2N3904 for Q3, Q4 (lamp drivers, ?something about higher current capacity) dunno about the speed mods but it looks like @zeropluszero has that covered above

my apologies. to me it appeared to be reacting, as has occurred in other threads of the same topic that seem to generate a little bit of friction 😉 should’ve known better and just ignore the thread. all good 🍻

bro, calm down, i’m not your dad, im not @bluedmc777 ‘s dad either, my opinions aren’t an instruction. if you wanna use sockets, fill your boots, do what makes you happy 🫶🏻 i initially opted to stfu because i knew i’d see reactive emotional posts like this, but @bluedmc777 asked, so deal with...

if you take the time to breadboard the circuit: - this will allow you to select the ideal transistors that sound good to you. the same point/concept applies to selecting clipping diodes, opamps or whatever else for many other circuits that don't involve obsolete parts. i.e. for many circuits...

ffs :censored:

hell yeah brutha 🤟🏻 love these ptp / dead bug builds. keep it up man, looks like you’re getting better at them

i would but i’m about 4.9 thousand miles from my workbench atm. i’ve got a tip for ya though, look up the pinouts for the BS170 and carefully examine where these are located. S - goes to ground G - goes to vol, pin 1 (and x3 other components) D - goes to a resistor tied to Vcc (and x2 other...

heck yeah, those labels look great. so much nicer than sharpie on a pink bag. same here, building less pedals, but trying out way more circuits than ever before - with some inspiring enough to actually build that i would have otherwise not bothered with.

yeah not this time :censored: genuinely, my intention is to encourage folks to try breadboarding things for better results, but usually this just results in hurt feelings. do i at least get a banana sticker for shutting the fuck up this time?

well, i went over it again and i couldn't find any errors, so i'd say it's good to go. attached version with components removed/layout of trace cuts and jumpers. (no changes to the initial layout above)

1) its hard to tell from these photos whether there are any errors, or potential inadvertent solder bridge shorts, as most of these are not well focused. this looks like a short (but im guessing it's just a big blob..) 2) we need to see the other side of the board. 3) it is difficult to...

with water under a tap

note, these Ge diodes here aren’t necessarily clippers. ive been told here that they’re intended to serve as a crude noise gate.

look for D9E or other D9x diodes or 1N270 or any other Ge diode that measures around 0.33v it doesn’t have to be 1N34A

i haven't tried the ionosphere, but looking at the schematic, it only has x2 gain stages, so i'm not surprised this was your experience. regardless, i'm pretty impressed with this psi fuzz thing. i still need to double check this layout against the schematic when im fresh and not burnt out...

what about the skreddy muffs
