yep this is pretty much what i’ve seen happen again and again whenever im breadboarding with germanium transistors, even when accounting for idle bias voltages etc.

earlier this year i finally took the time to breadboard this fantastic fuzz circuit and just went with a pair of MP20 pnp units (cos they’re large and easy to handle) and i was immediately impressed with just the standard thick fuzz face sound it does with the controls in ‘normal’ positions. i...

heckin brutal. sounds more aggressive than a HM-2 i reckon. could be a really good boost/drive for some slamming chugs

breadboard it and find out 🤷‍♂️

no worries, appreciate the feedback 🤙🏻 good to see my findings might have some value beyond just a one off build

since i got a pm asking about the layout - for completeness of the thread/op - here’s an annotation of the layout i used with corrections/mods - 470K input pulldown resistor is deleted - i decided to use the space for an mlcc 100n filter cap (104) - at the 10uF input cap, the 39K meets along...

i was always impressed by the Ritual fuzz when i was trying out 1-knob fuzz face variants, so when i came across the Oath - and then the Destroyer - i was quite intrigued by the lineage/associated variants. [Oath = Revelation SuperBass w/ fixed/no controls = Pharaoh w/ no tone circuit & final...

looks like they have a nice wood oven bakery, but not sure it's worth the 4 hour drive

lmao

Colorsound Tone Bender Distortion

https://www.korn.com.au/ :p

i must know

yeah nah it doesn't clean up and im not sure that it's supposed to - its basically a hybrid MkIII tonebender. so far ive not tried any MkIII-based circuits that do clean up well. and that's ok cos we have fuzz faces/Mk1.5 for that.

heck yeah. awesome fuzz. breadboarded it the other day, and yep, it's pretty bloody good tbh. when i get a minute ill capture a demo - it needs to be heard.
