What they said, those jacks are tricky and might fool you into thinking they are wired correctly. As @Erik S pointed out, you'd need to check continuity with cables inserted, from cable tip to foot switch, on both sides (in and out). Once that is fine and still no bypass signal, it's lost in...

This one. It's great! It's stiff! Why are we screaming? https://www.musikding.de/Hookup-wire-05mm2-2m-black :)

So, here we go, I just had a few minutes, if you want more pics, let me know. PCB says 2014, 1x MPSA18 and 3x 2N5089 as in the schematic above. I'm not too thrilled about taking it apart and/or out of the enclosure, but I might be persuaded to do some "continuity beeping/checking" with a DMM...

And to add my 2 cents: if the jacks are wired correctly and you don't get a clean/bypass signal, something is up with the foot switch. Try to re-flow pin 8 of the foot switch (maybe also others) and the connection from the foot switch board to the out jack might use some solder too (on the...

Let me try to find it first, ha-ha. I can open it up and have a look .... and post pics here, if @VanWhy doesn't mind, of course, it's his build report after all. My BEAST is from the short lived Acid Age Electronics intermezzo, maybe 10 years ago?

Well, I actually still have it, and I think it's one of the coolest muffs money can - or could - buy. There are 2 types of oscillation, one rather lowtuned that can be kept like in the background somehow, thickening the tone with a hint of crazyness lurking around the corner and the other is...

No, not yet, I've been very busy, but I plan to ... Maybe in 1-2 weeks. I can post my experiences here.

You're making sense, alright, kinda :ROFLMAO:

Yeah, I was also thinking about a trimmer, maybe I'll just try some values in parallel to R14 first, without risking to butcher anything in place. That should get me an idea where my sweet spot is.

Thanks a lot @Feral Feline ... I'll try R14 then ...

To round off my recent DEFX trilogy, here comes the BLUR, a clone of the Adenture Audio Fuzz Peaks II. It's a Muff at heart, with a clean blend, 2 clipping options, Mids on a 3-way toggle and a feedback loop on a momentary footswitch (Peak). I replaced the resistor (R31) that defines the range...

Damn, this is mind blowing on all levels and then some more.

Of course! Why? ;)

That's a sexy knob!

Thanks ... and for once, I don't mind the size, as I can't handle 2 footswitches on a 125b, so BB suits me just fine for this one. And also thanks @Feral Feline - it's indeed crazy that the pcb doesn't cover the upper row of pots, with a random cap or two standing in the way.

Thanks! And looking forward to your super fuzz war build report. :)

Another great circuit from the masterminds at Deadend FX. It's a clone of the Adventure Audio Dream Reaper, which is ... well, it can be a lot of things or produce a wide array of different sounds. A lot of them are actually on the "not too crazy" side, I'd say, although the blurbs usually focus...

I'd say the dry is full signal. I don't think the pcb is for side mounted jacks as the DEFX validation build has top mounted jacks. Lugs up/down with Lumberg jacks is only possible when using 2PDT footswitches. I'd recommend to use a BB2.

This is a very cool bass fuzz, that somehow has it's own thing going on, combining "a bit of Superfuzz, with a bit of Green Ringer, providing extra spicy top end to a fuzzrocious fuzz", as Deadend says. I matched diodes (D4/D5) and transistors (Q4/Q5) and the octave on the footswitch is very...
