The Wren and Cuff Phat Phuk B, with external bias control, might be something. Fuzzdog and Moonn sell a PCB for that, or do it on vero.

I'll just say it up front: I really don't like building on vero board. All those cuts and links, then rows to be missed, also wires everywhere and just generally too many occasions to fuck up something. On the other hand, some circuits are not available on PCBs (or I didn't find those), so I'm...

Sometimes, I get PCBs from the chaps at Fuzzdog, mostly only if I can't find something anywhere else, because I generally don't like their side jacks and power" approach. Going for top jacks and power often means that all the controls have to be moved down ... or do off-board wiring. So, this...

I had another of these PCBs, so why not build it? I prefer the Dunwich take on this circuit (also with clean blend) for bass. The first Blood Letter, I gave to my drummer and they used with his other band in the studio, on a song, distorting synth sounds. Anyway, the Blood Letter is based on...

Here are two more boards from my last Moonn order. First up is the Schaller Sustainer, which Nils describes as an "old ass german fuzz pedal with a blend control". It's a nice fat fuzz and the blend control is actually pretty good implemented, I'd say. Although it sports 5 x 2n5088 (1 for the...

I'd say it is, although I didn't try both to hear the difference, I just went with 50k. No negatives. Also, I gave it to my guitar player for testing and since then, it has been on his board.

I'm assuming you're talking about the Sanford and Sonny fuzz? In that case: no need for a blend. I own one of those and use it on bass. It totally slays and cuts through any kind of mix as is. Edit: the tone bypass switch on later models is very cool, don't leave that out.

I'm not even wearing clown shoes, I'm just clumsy. :LOL:

This is the PedalPCB Parentheses Mini board, but two foot switches on a 125B is not my cup of tea, so I went with a BB enclosure. I used an OP07 and matched the Ge diodes (OA1182, 330mV). Sounds great! Maximum volume yields maximum results.

Maybe you might consider to open a thread in the "modifications" section to have a better chance of getting answers than asking in a build report. I'd say put in sockets and try stuff ... ;)

Alright, thanks, but just to be clear: I was not referring to the amount itself of resistors (15), that was identical IIRC, but to the actual numbering of them, as for example R3 was not in the same spot on the actual PCB and the build doc PCB.

I'm not sure just by trying to remember, I might have to dig out my notes, if I can find them. I think "my problem" was that the numbers of the components (R1, etc. / C1 etc.) on the PCB itself were not identical to the numbers of the PCB in the build doc. Is your PCB (component numbers)...

I did some basic gain sound clip for the bass dude. Details about the build, tubes used and the sound clip are here: https://forum.pedalpcb.com/threads/sushi-box-bass-dude.21973/ The gain of the Dude also depends on tubes used, I opted for something "in the middle".

I somehow missed this PCB on my last order - or maybe it wasn't out yet when I was ordering? Anyway, I wanted to build it, so vero it is and here we go. Filter and Input are good to have, on bass I roll back the Input and put the Filter on the (not too) dark side. Those MPSA18 are filthy...

The schematic is here.
