I have tried this exact combination and have to agree! I sold my '73 Ram's Head build as I want to do either a Triangle or the '75 (Mascis) version. I head you on those read LEDs being a bit dim. I finally realized I should drop the CLR down to 2.2k or so for those.

What transistors did you use? I've built this circuit twice and it's nothing short of thick as a brick every time. That was even true when I accidentally used some fake germaniums and that fv of .45-.50. I wonder if you've got something going on with the pinout as the hfe you used should work well.

I built this after a failed first attempt and agree it's an all-time favorite. It straddles the Tonebender and Big Muff line extremely well. It also has good volume knob cleanup, which I didn't really expect. I love that the tone knob sweeps from TB to BMP sounds so easily. I used OC141 in Q3...

Klon into Big Muff sounds awesome! Glad you like this one and welcome. I sold on a '73 Ram's Head I had built a while back (needed funds to finish up a wah build) so should really do another Muff at some point soon.

I had not hear of Other Pedals so thanks for sharing this! Could be a Bee Baa in my future. Incidentally, I was able to hear an original one time played through my personal guitar and amp. A Japanese noise guitarist used them for a session at a college radio station where a fried of mine worked...

I used it for Q1 but overall, it was a mix like the MkII you just posted. I had AC125 for Q3 and a random 2n217 in Q2. I think Q1 has a big influence over the sound, so you will probably like it! I need to try a MkI.V like you have here--I've done a straight Ge Fuzz Face but not this one!

I agree with you about AC128s on a TB circuit. I used one in my MkII build and it sounded great. This one looks like a winner!

I agree about C2 being a good place to address the boominess. That value changed a fair but from the early MkIII to later MkIV versions, like 47uf down to 220n if I remember correctly. At that point the sound was getting smoother and a bit distortion like, almost presaging the Rat, etc. Judging...

I was curious to see a build report for this too! I only have a single coil guitar so probably won't build this one, but like how the FLB line is themed around classic Seattle tones. If anyone has suggestions on another one to try, would love to hear it. Agree about the Cantrell tones (love his...

Love the Twin Peaks reference! Nice choice on the 2n1305. I've used those in TB MkIII and Fuzz Face builds and they are great. I have a completed MkI I need to box at some point soon. I tested it with a wah in front and it sounds amazing!

I've seen SD-1 into a JCM-800 in many a live setting and it kills every time! Best of luck as you step away for now...

Those knobs are amazing! Exactly what I would want for an HM-2 build. Glad you persevered on it!

First off, major thanks to Blackhatboojum for sharing this board with me! I got the itch to do a wah just after the MBP Weener went out of stock a while back. I had been modding this old Crybaby I picked up but realized the jacks weren't going to last much longer. So this incorporates what I...

Sounds like it's got some highly effective controls if you have to dial them that far back in most cases! Love those knobs--used the same ones on a Screwdriver clone I did many years ago. The woodgrain rules! '70s station wagon vibes for the win.

I noticed storyboardist's PCB of this being available and then remembered GOTA's build report. Then I went down the rabbit hole a couple of days ago listening to demoes of the original pedals. It does sound good to my ears! Can't say I'll get around to building one anytime soon, but glad to see...
