And most importantly, was the box included?

Looks killer! Do you remember the gain and leakage for each of the transistors?

Been meaning to ask: has anyone ordered from Sovcom, Next5 or any of the other well-known sellers in Ukraine since the beginning of the year. Wasn't sure if the current political climate's impacted shipping from them.

I tried my hand at RG Keen's method last year when one of the test leads on my DCA broke. Since I suck at de-soldering, I tried it out while I waited for a TC1 to come in. Since I had resistors with 1% tolerance, I ended up using a 2k2 and 270R in series to try to get as close to 2.472k as...

I love this idea! I admittedly picked up my guitar for the first time in a long time at the start of the pandemic precisely because of this question: I looked into what Bradford Cox was doing on He Would've Laughed's arpeggiated riff (it was an Eventide Pitchfactor, apparently). Found my way...

They're PNP but I think the BC178 and 179Bs might be a good shout. I think some of the usual Eastern European ebay stores have small lots at reasonable prices

Assuming it's still low-leakage, the AC162 might be a good option for Q2 in a Peppermint Fuzz. Depending on the leakage of the lower-gain transistors, maybe a MkI or MkII might be feasible?

Bit of a dumb question, but if you wanted to add a sag pot to a Sandspur instead, would you just tack on the pot like Feral Feline laid out, or would the additional control also require changes to other parts of the Sandspur's circuit?

I'll preface this by saying I'm never sure what I'm doing when it comes to the hobby, but could you add the pot at the end of the power section like Aion does in their take on the Fuzz Factory? Assuming you were thinking of adding it to an NPN Fuzz Face; not sure how different things would be...

If you don't mind my asking, were these from the latest batch Langrex posted, or is there another supplier (hopefully) selling these at more reasonable/affordable prices?

Carbon Black's another one

I picked up a small batch of these from one of the forum's esteemed Ukrainian eBay sellers but stashed them because I thought they'd be difficult to use on a PCB. Was it too much of an issue dealing with their leads?

Maybe look into something like the 2N3705s, gain between 50-150 hfe according to this Mouser datasheet

I remember reading somewhere - probably an older post in the forum - that you want the octave diodes to be within something like .01v of one another to maximize the octave effect. That might've been for something like a Green Ringer, though, so not sure if that applies to the Fuzzy Foxx...

Everything about this is killer. Huge, huge fan of your aesthetic but this is just *chef's kiss*
