Done. Works perfectly. Thx!

Excellent. Will do. Thx

I'm building a second Sandspur fuzz and wondering if I changed the B1k fuzz pot to an A1k or even C1k would the keep the heavy fuzz from bunching right there at the highest setting? I know that most fuzz pedals are used in the cranked position but just want some input? Thx

I have not. I don't have a tester for germaniums. I know that GEOFEX (I think that was the page ???) had a technique for using a MM but haven't looked at it yet. I can always drop them in and see what happens. Thanks for the info

Got one NKT275. Need suggestions on 2nd position transistor. Want to put it in a Sunflower. I also have an AC188 and a CV7003 / OC44. Any suggestions on looking for other germaniums? Tough to find any these days but... Also, any suggestions on a different build for this than the Sunflower?

I don’t have any experience with germanium transistors. I understand that the hfe/gain needs to be staged upward from Q1 - Q3 but I have a couple of questions. I’ve got a cheap T7 tester but that will not give me those values. Should I get a Peak DCA55? Due to so many of these transistors...

TY!!!

I’m using One Shot, used by sign painters and pinstripers. Pretty damn expensive but worth it. Started with Testors model paint which actually works just fine. Thx for the feedback!

Just thought I'd post some of my pedal artwork: Top row left to right: Jump Drive Aion Mk1 (Yellow Submarine Bandleader) Whipped Cream (inspired by psych Clapton SG) Conqueror Fuzz Bottom Row: Pendulum Tremolo Pharmacist Distortr Shout out to Dan Keclik. I saw his 5 instructional videos...

I revisited this again just recently and got both pedals working right. In both cases I scrubbed the crap out of both boards and their switches with Isopropyl alcohol, which I normally did anyway. But these were early builds and there was still enough flux on both to probably leave enough flux...

The A10k volume pot solved the issue for me

Put the C500K in place of gain knob and an A100k for the volume pot, That's the trick. Rocks pure old school. Thanks guys

Excellent! TY

So just following up again, should I give that C500k a shot since I don't have a C1M on hand? I hate to put that much heat on those pads if it doesn't work and I have to go with the C1M. But I just don't need to put in a parts order right now. I'd basically be paying shipping for that pot and a...

Yeah that's a good call. I think it was one of the Tonebenders that call a B10k, maybe... I put a C1k in and it worked like a champ. I'm out of C1meg so I will add it to my next order. But any thoughts on a C500k as a replacement?
