I hear you Mike. I’m just happy I have been able to positively contribute to a thread.

So it’s built and these are my findings. That 22k makes not a jot of difference, or at least not one I can hear. As my breadboard didn’t turn up, I made a slight amendment to the layout and socketed it. I went between that and resistor leg clipping 😂 The difference with adding in C5 and R7 is...

I’m supposed to have a breadboard coming tomorrow (I don’t actually have one) but there is no sign of it being here. If it should turn up, I will have a go but it will be my first time breading anything. I defiantly have some bc109s and bc239s plus all sorts of others, accept bc149.

Nice info Mike - I’m building it up tomorrow and will audition a few different transistors.

Ffs shits getting too heavy for me now - might knock up an npn Rangemaster 🤣 To confuse things further, here is another schematic for the bc149 - which, well ….. the plush. No extra 22k and includes C5 and R7. Go figure.

Ain’t no one got time for that amount of kajiggering 😂 I wonder what difference that ol 22k makes. I may breadboard it tomorrow and find out !

I’m certainly going to socket it - I’ve never used a bread board, I must invest in one !

I was also considering two different transistors on a switch but I am unsure if there would be enough mileage in it !

Here we go ! I was hoping my Vero order would be here today but sadly not !

@mkstewartesq have you tried the KAT volume pot (I’m making a presumption you have a RS) that makes a huge difference as to rolling back the volume for the chime. I used to make them and sell them on eBay, stupid easy to do !

Thanks Mike, I shall have a stab at putting together a layout for it. There is a supplier here in the uk that has NOS BC149s, will grab some.

Hey Mike, like you I am a huge Brian May fan. I have built the Cornish TB83 which I love, the Fryer Deluxe, just about every incarnation of the Rangemaster. Couple of days ago I built an 83 with a AMZ pickup thingy in it, interesting. I’ve not done a BC149 - don’t suppose you have a layout 😏...

Nice man, I’m going to spend a bit of time studying yours - I’ve found it really I interesting having a go !

Thanks for all your help. I shall jump back on layout tomorrow and fettle away !

Cheers brother. I did think about that but it was after I had arranged the board. I will sit and have a rejig at least knowing that V1 is ok.

Not sure if this is the correct place to post this ! So I have had a go at putting a strip board together for the KAT plush treble booster. I was wondering if someone would be so kind to check it over ? A couple of things I do know: 1. It could probably be a bit smaller. 2. It could probably...

I am questioning is film free worth the haste - it’s so expensive to buy plus potential failure rates ? I think I will give metallic film a shot !

For anyone in the uk I found somewhere that does gold and silver metalic both film and film free - might give it a go.

Enjoy man, it’s a bloody great pedal !

I thought I was loosing my mind as to how it works. I am out of the UK at the moment but as soon as I am home I am going to price it up properly (there site is converting to Moroccan Dhirims)
