Very stream of conscious. Reminds me of a McLusky track

Added the 3pdt and wired it up according to the diagram and we're up and running. Does seem like a pretty gnarly fuzz... can get spitty and very fizzy, but I suppose that's the v1 fuzz war circuit. Would have been nice if that part of the instructions had been included in the build doc, but oh well.

Think I may have figured out whats causing the issue. The build doc does not provide any details on the 6 lugs labeled "filter" in the bottom right of the PCB... although it does list a 3PDT for it on the parts list. I've yet to see this type of arrangement for a switch, so I'll need to play...

Yea, I cleared around it. Those photos didn't have the best angle.

Any smart folks out there had success building the DBA Armageddon? I've been working on the Moonn Electronics Asteroid, which from the description is based upon the Armageddon (http://dirtboxlayouts.blogspot.com/2019/07/death-by-audio-armageddon.html) but still scratching my head on this one...

Sorry, the camera on this phone isn't great. Can never seem to fully remove the glare. And that is another partially obscured 2n5088 in the left-center area. Also noticed one like it on Reverb (https://reverb.com/item/59025978-death-by-audio-fuzz-war-v1-2011?bk=) that has a similar looking rear...

After seeing this post, I opened up the V1 I picked up cheap locally some years back (Ty Segall/Ohsees fan here). At the time didn't know there was a more recent 3-knob Muff based variant of the Fuzz War. Expected to see 7 transistors, but found only 4... Perhaps this is some sort of v1.5 or...

I had picked up the 2n5485's from Tayda back in February when they had a small amount in stock. Those seem to be working... it was the 2n5457's that gave me problems. Tried swapping in about 10 of those before giving up and using some J201s I had from GuitarPCB. Fired right up after adding those.

Didn't have any common cathode LEDs, so made a quick run to micro center and picked a few up. All good now. Thanks Nic!

Common anode (tayda sku a-3243). Tested with my DMM... positive to the center, negative to one side (lights red), then other side (lights green). ... and that's probably the problem. D'oh! Thanks!

Nearing the end of a Mesmerizer build, and after some transistor swapping (2n5457's out, J201's in) it's sounding as advertised. Volume pot functional, speed and depth are A-OK. However I can't seem to get the 2 color LED to light... I read a few posts mentioning how one side might be brighter...

Any luck on the boost & distortion switch popping on the Parentheses builds? Finished mine a few days ago and experiencing the same result. Figured I'd ask around.

Anyone out there ever build (clone PCB or vero/perf board) of the Fuzhugger Phantom Octave circuit? Had ordered a number of PCBs from Moonn Electronics, and as a bonus they included their take on this circuit, the "Opera" (https://moonnelectronics.bigcartel.com/product/opera). I had all the...

Not sure what happened, but put the 1M back in the R1 spot, buttoned everything back up and suddenly it's working. I'm guessing it was related to the transistors not making good contact in the sockets as Fingolfen suggested. Trimmed down the leads and bended the ends just slightly so they'd grip...

Thank you both! I measured all the resistors added to the PCB and they look to match up with the silkscreen photo provided by Robert. Although I couldn't get a reading on that 1M in the R1 spot... and after much difficulty removed it and found it was correct (d'oh). Will put it back in this...

Sweet! Thanks! Fingers crossed it's something as simple as me dropping in a wrong value

Hello All - Finished up the Depot Fuzz last night. Plugged it in and getting a bypass signal, but when engaging the footswitch I receive a barely there fuzz effect that's very muffled and sort of "blown out" sounding. Definitely does not sound like the EQD Terminal demos I've seen. Read through...

Awesome!! Thanks for such a quick turnaround!!

Hello... apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but does anyone have a link to the BOM/build doc for the Calamity Fuzz? I bought the PCB back in January and just getting around to assembling now. However when searching for that info on the homepage, it's pulling up what I assume to be the...

Did your measurements work out for the Chaos Machine build? Just ordered the PCB and was looking around for drill coordinates... Tayda does a better job than me and my shaky drill work. Thanks!
