Have you tried a Jaguar?…

MK1 Tone Bender, though you’d need at least one that’s a fair deal lower…maybe two.

89 hfe, leakage: .99mA

Pics?…

LM386 op-amps…amplify the signal. The diode in that circuit is to protect the circuit from a positive voltage (like connecting a 9v battery backwards).

LaBella "Bender's" 46-09, and LaBella Jazz Flats, 11's on my Jazzmaster. I like LaBella strings. I'm trying to get an endorsement...

But if you sell too many, you make wake up to find a horse head in your bed...or all your solder melted into a ball...

Not only have I done that before, I did that while at the same time neglecting to connect the power supply...

I built the triangle. It sounds dead on.

Update again: I modded my mod. I realized that what I thought was happening wasn’t happening. So, I redesigned it. I now have two switches (SPDT on/on). I have each diode hooked up to a switch. I can now have both diodes on (spec), D1 only, D2 only, or no diodes. I socketed everything, so...

A thought. The way I have it set up now, the center lug is coming from the D1 anode pad. So when I switch to D2, I am in fact not getting D2, since the input is coming from D1, and not from D2, and this, does not follow the 4k7. In order to do this mod the way I would want, I believe I would...

Dunlop Tortex Sharp...the yellow ones (.73mm). Robert Fripp recommended them for those looking for the Guitar Craft picks...

Update: I’m still running the pedal through its paces. D2 engaged and no diodes are definitely good settings (and different). However, D1 engaged is similar to no diode. There is a difference, but it is very subtle. No diode is more of a crunchy fuzz distortion, D1 engaged is that, plus a bit of...

I have toyed with the idea of looking into a flux pen…but 15 years ago I bought a tub of it at Radio Shack, and I still have about half left. I use a toothpick to apply…

Bricksnbeatles, Dali, and Feral Feline got me into Zappa, so i’ve been listening to that. I especially like Philly ‘76, which I listened to a few times today…
