Tone Bender MKII (stripboard)

[Guilherme Collateral]

I made a project for a smaller sized wedge enclosure with the jacks on the same profile as the other hardware and board goes, because I was always annoyed with wiring floating between the two parts of the regular Bender/Zonk enclosure. For the circuit I used a vintage specs stripboard I got made here in Brasil, Carbon Comp resistors, Tropical Fish, Styroflex and Philips BC capacitors and a RCA, a Texas Instruments and a Telefunken transistor for the MII build! Sounds really good!

I have a design for a similar box but I keep forgetting to make it

No transistor readings and no demo, what a tease!

Don't leave use blueballed like this, mano

I’ll record something later, but the transistors read really close to the real deal, Q1 hFE 33, leakage close to 0, q2 hFE 55, leakage in the 80-100s, Q3 hFE 200, leakage around 180 (all measured yesterday, a cold day around here)
