I put this Black Beauty in one of mine, but have no idea if it did anything cause I also changed the pickups 😅

Alright you guys asked for it! Bonus with an extra - The Pink Verb tube spring reverb pedal.

lol I think my amp would explode, but I believe the Data Corrupter would dominate the sound wave overall

Wanted to share my completed DIY board with you all. Many of the circuits are courtesy of PPCB. Thank you all for the help with any troubleshooting needs, and inspiration for deciding on circuits to build! Tuner->Fuzzilla vs Akhibara->4uzz->Fortune & Revvenge->Snakeoil->Gates of Hell->Down to...

Full demo with a few different channels on the Mesa Boogie Mark V90 to show how it adds a lot of thickness to the gain structure.

After building this one on perfboard a few months ago, I finally finished and received the enclosure to complete the build. Relatively happy with the appearance but the text doesn’t stand out as much as I’d like. Also the bottom left “Warning Contains Germanium” is hard to see. Overall good...

Appreciate that! I’m glad it ended up working out as expected and gave me the confidence to build some other combo pedals 😁 thanks for the help when I was trying to figure it out

Perfboard complete. Really enjoying the point to point process again. Prolongs the soldering fun for me. Just need to order enclosure and PCB mount gain and volume pots. Have non-PCB mount but the layout was nice and lined everything up. Not sure what this Purple and White Ge diode is but out...

Working on my build and enclosure art for the TA-100 germanium transistor overdrive I posted here a few days ago.

Beautiful art!

This happened for me before, but they didn’t notify me that there was a problem. I just noticed the print job was stalled at In Progress for a few days and contacted Hugo. He said the gloss coat frequently can get bubbles during the print job and they have to start from scratch. Nothing you need...

Nice Build and art! Good taste in fuzz 🤘🏻

Fuzzes sure are addicting. One under the radar one I liked breadboarding was the Elka Dizzytone, although don’t think there’s a PCB here for it

Don’t get so held up on the component number for Ge transistors, just the hfe and leakage. Then try different transistors out in a circuit and you’ll get some different sounds so can experiment to see what you like best.

Search YouTube for some demos then of the different Ge fuzz circuits offered here and see what is in line with the sound you’re looking for. As you mentioned the Harmonic Percolator, that’s always a good choice. Uses a PNP Ge and is still negative ground so you can connect to a standard DC...
