Thanks. Turning off the MOD also brings back the low end, so for me as a bass player, that's a good thing.

Behold, the TURBOBOI 4000: another - quote - "noisy fucker" from Moonn. It's basically his Schwurbel into a delay. You might have seen the great, recent Ultra Schurbel build report (by @jcpst) with its gnarly sound file - pretty cool, innit? Now this one here is just one Schwurbel, but - and...

I saw this on dirtbox layout, I think, and although I'm not much of a boost guy, the circuit seemed to be interesting with its J201/Germanium topology. After populating the vero, I remembered that I had some "why not both" transistor PCB laying around, so I made the GE switchable (GT309B /...

Your foot switch is upside down. White washer goes on the outside. Too many - and ugly - knobs. Needs more Wima caps. Should be in a 125B.

I like Spaceman stuff and when they came out with the Charon, I was of course interested. Deadend FX traced it and came out with a PCB, but given the simplicity of the circuit, I decided to try it on vero. It's a 2 transistor NPN Siilicon / PNP Germanium fuzz, looks like an inverse Percolator...

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!
