Try BAT85 with a small resistor (47-100R) in series to ground.

With the dwindling supply of Ge diodes and transistors, I’m always drawn to ways to avoid them with modern parts. I would love to be...

Currently there is 359 boards for various drive pedals.. 31 modulation pedals... and only one cabsim. It's easy to switch between...

Once it’s working, I’d be curious to hear if there’s a difference with vs without D1

Oh nice! Always love to see a SWTC2 pop up.

What’s up with D1? I don’t think that was on the original speaker cranker. Not a common place to see a diode that I recall (bazz fuss is...

Thank you! And great catch, that was a typo, I fixed it. Yah, 600-ish. I think the lowest was 582 and the highest was 621. I don't know...

I thought a 0 was omitted. 600-ish sounds way better. Great build Michael! :dmm: Thank you for the marvelous compliment! You’re way...

Great build! It's a cool circuit and nice backstory. A point of curiosity, how did you measure the hfe of the BC549Cs? 60 hfe is well...

I’ve often used double sided foam tape. But it’s thicker than 1mm. Not an issue for most builds, although it gives you less pot leg to...

As others have said, it seems to be a trick some builders use to put a B pot for volume. Users are impressed by the massive volume it...

So I've found that the Stinger has only been useful in specific circumstances, often needing the Tone control maxed to sound good. In...

It's a pretty light piece of Swamp Ash. The only mod I've done is re-wire it for 4-way switching. Lollar Vintage-T in the neck and...

No need to change those two, C11 is responsible for blocking all the DC to the output. Strange that the RC filter on the led didn’t fix...

Nobody has mentioned your amp, are you running through your amp? Does a buffered pedal before it fix it?
