    Phase II and the Circulator

    I'm asking for your opinions of these two Phasers. I have recently built a Phase II. And it's a fine Phaser. But I'm finding that the Circulator I built a few months back is more "Present". Maybe the term is "Cleaner"...? Based on the reviews of the Phase II, I thought it would Wow me away from...

    DEMO Fuzz Foundry!!!!!

    I barely made it half way into the demo before turning it off and grabbing the Foundry I made last month. It's such a great pedal to mess around with, and lose track of an hour.

    Do you still purchase pedals?

    It's very responsible of you to identify the "dopamine" kick, and choosing to pass. You should congratulate yourself with a gift, or something.

    Do you still purchase pedals?

    I have to admit that I get giggly when I open the box, and find that a sticker was included.

    Do you still purchase pedals?

    That may be the way to look at it; smallish collection of commercial pedals. I was slow out of the gate to purchase pedals, and have played guitar since my youth. Never owning more then a few. Then one day my Big Muff needed some TLC, I popped it open, saw the guts, and the snowball began rolling.

    Do you still purchase pedals?

    I bought the Octron3 after getting frustrated with a Byoc Divided Octave I modded. Because my mods weren't reliable, and I had it on the bench more then the board. I wanted the tone of the analog sub punch when I gigged/jammed/noodled. And I felt I deserved a gift. I don't regret that purchase...

    Do you still purchase pedals?

    Do you still purchase pedals? How often? How many? Even though you build, do you still treat yourself to a brand name or boutique pedal every now and then? I've built about 20 over the last three years. Sold a few. Modified most. And I’ve bought 2. An EHX 360 Looper, and a Foxrox Octron3. And...

    Phase II

    Well son of a gun, I guess I'll have to order one and build it to find out. It really is a never-ending search for quality sound.

    Phase II

    You say it's your favourite phaser ever. Have you tried many? I have been on a slow hunt for my go to phaser. I started with the MXR 100, an Ibanez phase tone 999, the BYOC Soaring Skillet, and I recently built the Circulator. And I'm quite happy with the Circulator. But you know how it is...

    germanium transistor help

    A quick Thank You again to Fig and gheorge77 for the offers. I was able to find a supplier in Quebec that has Germanium transistors in stock. I ordered a dozen different PNP's and NPN's for a few builds. So far so good. They also have vintage NOS Caps and resistors and the like. Checkout...

    Super '64 toggle switch subtly

    How subtle is the gain change between settings? I BARELY notice a difference between the two, and my girlfriend can't. Should I investigate the issue? or is it normal? (the settings, not the girlfriend) Otherwise, it's a decent OD. I have an old 5 watt Valco and the Super 64 does mimic the tone...

    germanium transistor help

    Wonderful. Thank you both for the offer and assistance. I will reach out again once I hear back from a few stores. My amp builder friend says he may have a few in a drawer. Could be promising. I'd better look into how to measure them.

    germanium transistor help

    The same part number shouldn't matter, as long as the Hfe is within the same range, correct? And how can you help? By mail ? I did forget to mention that I am in Canada. If there are any Canucks listening, maybe they know a guy in Southern Ontario... I am calling the "local" brick and mortar...

    germanium transistor help

    Hello all, Long time reader, first time poster... After years of building BYOC, GGG, and GuitarPCB, I've ordered 16 boards from PedalPCB. And I'm super excited. Should be a fun year of building. I've ordered almost all the parts. I can't seem to track down: 1 pnp ge oc71 (Hfe 70-120) for the...
