Prismatic, Octaclave, Tactical, Deflector

Hey, I just built these with these nice colored enclosures from tayda.

Prismatic: dharma sound/colorsound distorter. Scronky 70s style fuzz tones.

Octaclave: I originally built this with d311a diodes because they look cool but had to sub them d9gs because I wasnt getting enough fuzz. Very interesting and metallic tones from this thing. I was sold when I heard it did a cool fuzzrite imitation.

Tactical fuzz: I really love this thing but probably because I love fuzz faces in general. If you love them too make sure you build this.

Deflector: fun and weird reverb. Gets very washy fast so you have to be careful with the mix knob. Definitely sounds cool though for gigantic ambience.

For the tactical I ordered two germanium 2n1308's from amplified parts. I didn't have to carefully hand sort through 1000 transistors to find the key ingredient. I just stuck them in and they're totally fine.

Following up on this. I'm thinking about picking up the Tactical fuzz on my next order. I saw the Amplified Parts 2N1308's too... did you happen to check the gain and leakage before installing them?

I did not.
