Well, this is an even bigger mess than I thought! I've changed the spelling, still sounds the same though. Hopefully, I'll have time later today to plug away and post more info. Maybe I should move this to the Troubleshooting forum...

I'm playing around with a fuzz circuit and attempted to put together a Sziklai pair. I'm getting signal and it's fuzzy. However, I looked down at the breadboard today and realized that what I have hooked up is not at all what I intended, nor does it match my schematic. It's more than just upside...

I don’t have 50 watt Hiwatt or a suitable place to crank it, I’m afraid. I think that leaves me to be the 15k resistor guinea pig!

Maybe I’ll leave it be since I already have the resistor in place. If there seems to be a volume issue I can take it out.

This is going to take longer than I thought…

Is the circled resistor the 15k that should be jumpered? According to the color bands it is, but it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve put something in the wrong place! (I started on this board a few weeks ago and then got too busy to finish it. Really looking forward to it!) Thanks!

It's a fun style to try, just plan well like the Parasit example. My planning was much sloppier...

This started out fun and ended up being a bit stressful, especially with how busy life has been lately. Either way it's done and operating properly now! Some time ago, I tried a Manhattan style circuit after seeing it on the Parasit blog and it was not terribly successful. This time around the...

Looks awesome! The small lugs on power jacks are annoying. What if I want to connect more than one wire to each lug? It turns into a balancing act quickly.

Is there a general rule of thumb as to what constitutes matched vs asymmetrical? I’m assuming that matched doesn’t literally mean exactly the same.

Time for me stop overthinking it then...and get some smaller knobs so the decal doesn't get covered up!

Very nice! How did you arrange the labels for the rotary switches? When I was working on my decal (technically I still am), I felt like I was shooting in the dark to get the angles correct.

Looks awesome with the cream knobs! When I built mine, I did the original unity volume mod. Even with that resistor change it’s still not enough. Fortunately, @Big Monk just posted a further mod for more gain. I haven’t has the motivation to pull apart my build yet, but am planning to at some...

That’s a great idea!

Awesome, thanks!

This is a very helpful explanation (as are the rest of your tutorials)! The decision to use the two knob enclosure was a last minute one, so I already have the 330R resistor soldered in. Taking it out wouldn't be an issue, but if I wanted to just leave it be and have the 100K -> 330 in series...

I'm putting together the Axial Fuzz from Effects Layouts and have an old enclosure with a two knob setup ready to use. I usually just have the fuzz control maxed out on fuzz pedals, so I thought it would be sensible to drop that pot and keeping the Level and Filter controls. I'll put the...

Looks beautiful! How did you mount the LED/lamp jewel?

Ah, I see that now. Looks orange when compared to the red band on the resistor standing upright on the far right of the board. Thanks!
