Tone Vendor MK1

Built a little fuzz action for a guy I've built a bunch of stuff for and this one turned out great... at first I put a trim pot for the 8k2 Bias but a week later went back in and changed the trim pot to a A25K pot and put it as a knob..... I'm not really a fan of fuzz but out of all of them I've built this one now sounds like my favorite... Super easy build if you have the right transistor gains/leakage combos

I had bought a little stash of Radio Shack Germaniums a while back that were still in individual packs…. Out of 25 several of them measured well and one of them was perfect for Q2… Had the right gain range and very low leakage
 
Hi

Nice looking build, how did you did the graphics?

I was wondering about the gain and leakage of the transistors that you used when building your pedal?

Regards

Graphics were on sunnyscopia clear waterslide for inkjet... designed in gimp. Leakage numbers I don't remember but I do keep a notebook for some builds where I record some info... If I remember I'll go back and look to see what my leakages were this weekend.
