I believe this is true if you are talking about the standard version. But I believe the earlier version, which were installed inside pedal steel guitars, utilized Ge. These circuits are a bit smoother, and fart out easier than the normal version…

Are you running into a clean amp? The Distortion+ style drives are designed to push an amp over the edge, not so much to create variable distortion out of nothing…

I’m a bit skeptical after digging a bit… This is a paragraph from the product page. Kinda reads like an African Prince wrote it. It is also written in the future tense, leading me to believe that the pedal doesn’t exist and is just a theory. I’m sure once people pay up front they’ll start...

Nutmeg, probably…

Sounds pretty good. I’d build in on vero, prolly…

If you want to stick with it (circuits from scratch) get stripboard. “Vero” is a brand name that has become synonymous with stripboard. Veroboard = stripboard. There are tons of layouts all over the place. I recommend starting small (boost, simple fuzz) in order to learn the technique… A few...

Another way of looking at it is trying to replicate the results, but not the exact circuit. I’m thinking a simple preamp into a Twin-tuned EQ section, into a boost/compression section that replicates what the “mod” is doing on the Beatles Twin…

Josh Scott makes it look SOOOO FUN, though…

In the following video, a guy that talks like a Convict explains how the Beatles got the Get back tone. TLDW; resistors off the cathodes of the power amp into a feedback arrangement. Supposedly implemented to tame the attack of a Twin (a low E through a cranked Twin hits like Ivan Drago) it...

Great circuit. The most fun with a BossTone you’ll ever have…

Hate to rain on your Boxing Day, but I think BC549C is had a reverse pin out than standard, so you have actually installed them correctly. Have you checked the all polar components for correct orientation?…

I use a strip of electrical tape. Sure it melts, but I like the smell…and so does the pink elephant in the corner…

Go Birds!…

My initial response: nah. You gotta cut your teeth the hard way, like the rest of us… After thinking about it for a while: most of us here are pretty lucky. We started learning about all this stuff in the age of the pocket computer. In the blink of an eye all of the information available in the...

Because the British set up America as classless (economic class) because everyone that went there did so because they were a failure in England/Britain. So the idea developed that the only way to prove how better you were that everyone else was by amassing wealth. America learned about “new...
