The simple instructions are to build the circuit around Q1 consisting of R3, R4 & R19 & the BOOST pot. You can use a 47K resistor to...

Haven't bothered to reclean, sorry. Got you on the reflow feedback. Both jfets are holding in the sockets with some tooth. Moving...

My Tayda order arrived! Woohoo! 😁

Let's see a pic of the current state of your build. The sockets that most people (mis)use for transistors are the machined pin sockets...

Something definitely wrong with your build. The gates should be at 0V. The drain voltages should be higher than the source voltages, by...

Chuck, The FX53 values for R8 and C10 in the tone circuit put the filter around 234Hz and you raised yours to around 482Hz. The other 3...

You can see what it does in the figure above. R7 & C8 determine the upper cutoff freq of the Treble range. C10 affects the lower...

As my boss used to say "If it's doable, somebody will do it."

I don't even bother with the adapters.
