Amplified Parts

I'm a huge fan of the FZ-1 circuit and had this breadboarded for a few months playing with all the transistors until committing it to a...

Very nice! I have a few 2n270s on-hand and they measure right around there for hfe.

More likely a wrong value resistor or cold joint than a bad 072, assuming you sourced the 072 from a reputable vendor. I haven't built...

Usually the lower the ESR, the better. Equivalent series resistance is a non-ideal behavior of capacitors and is preferred as low as...

Thanks for the reply. I look forward to the unveiling of whatever new products you may soon present. I've been having a blast this past...

What circuit is that board and where'd you get it? I searched Amplified Parts and didn't find it there; it has 1 too many transistors...

Hey Feral Feline, sorry but that's not something we sell at the moment, just the best pic I had on-hand for showing off the PR02s in...

If the resistor footprints are the common 1/2W size, I like Vishay PR02 resistors for that. They're metal film and remind me of some old...

Low voltage orange drops might fit and have some mojo https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products/capacitor-orange-drop-100v-polyester

The yellow caps in my recent builds are Mallory 150s, but they're film. There's a MOD 1uf electro and I think a vishay electro in mine

I know this is a really old post but just wanted to add that if you're looking for a substitution for 2N270 transistors, SFT353...

Yeah I basically added one as a few people had commented that taming it was quite difficult given the interaction between balance/timbre...

Do you like the master volume on the Buzzaround? I've built a couple stock Buzzarounds and felt like the Balance control (as odd as its...

thanks man. The fuzz face was a direct copy of your guys design :) so thanks for the influence. The buzz around took some time to get...

These all look great - really digging the artwork on them too. The Buzzaround's art is a great look for the bare enclosure.
