fuck yeah. great work

anyway here's the end result: (build thread)

fuck yeah. this is on my breadboard list. if i like the circuit, i'll probably build it with this layout. cheers 🤙

as discussed in one of @Ginsly ‘s threads about opamp muffs, i tried a few of them and none of them really seemed to be that exciting or exceed what i enjoyed about my EHX V5 opamp muff build, but this one was really good and seems to be a bit of a sleeper. As this circuit introduces some...

i like your suggestion, it's a good solution to avoid the diagonal, but unfortunately the 22K would then be immediately adjacent to/'rubbing' against' the 47K - which would be a technical foul - cos these 1/2W resistors kinda need to have an empty row/column between each one for enough...

everywhere? what about https://www.sabrotone.com/noisy-cricket/ https://tagboardeffects.blogspot.com/2012/04/noisy-cricket-mkii.html

nuisance socket strikes again :p

update: there was x1 error in the previous layout. (found out the hard way on this build attempt) easy fix. diagonal jumper isn't ideal, but it works so i'm happy. now verified 🥳 confirmed 34 wide does fit well in a 1590BB/BB2, but it is tight. (evidence)

mine didn’t. with all knobs cranked, no oscillation / no squeal.

yep, aionfx docs are great for those little bits of extra info. as discussed on your zonk thread, zonk = MkI tonebender. (mkI, mkII, mkIII are all quite different from each other, with mkI being the worst in every way)

I'm assuming you're pondering the right transistor for Q3? the front end is essentially a MkIII tone bender. here's some good advice on the MkIII: (aionfx) (fuzzdog) note: the bias control pot will affect Q3 idle bias voltage, so i guess it's probably best to have it set in the centre when...

ayy thanks 🤙 it's bit of a slog to finish, but will be well worth it in the end!

post up some voltage measurements at each transistor pin if you can. would be interesting and possibly valuable to confirm what the idle bias voltages are. if the idle bias isn't quite right at certain spots, it will not operate correctly. the zonk is basically a Mk1 tone bender. they are an...
