I use JJ KT77s in Marshall style builds and really like 'em. Sound like a classy EL34 - big sounds!

I’ll try to get on with it in next few days!

well, i went over it again and i couldn't find any errors, so i'd say it's good to go. attached version with components removed/layout...

Maybe you want to breadboard it first? The only good way to test the transistors is in-circuit.

just finished my low tide modulator after staring at it for months now. i finally got all of the components acquired and sat down over...

I’ve joined the cult! I don’t play much bass, but it sounds nice as a DI with my baritone. Keepin it DIY with some tricky drilling and...

I have bought '1N34A' from several sources, all tested high Vf (fake). BAT41's sound similar to Ge to my ear. Search on BAT41, lots of...

note, these Ge diodes here aren’t necessarily clippers. ive been told here that they’re intended to serve as a crude noise gate.

look for D9E or other D9x diodes or 1N270 or any other Ge diode that measures around 0.33v it doesn’t have to be 1N34A

i haven't tried the ionosphere, but looking at the schematic, it only has x2 gain stages, so i'm not surprised this was your experience...
