yeah it's a bit nasty 🥵 oops and at least if you don't like the muff+HM-2 EQ combo, you could try a different distortion front end. maybe a RAT? could be sick. i'm thinking i might try something with a CD4049, maybe a red llama or chuck's CMOS muff tried an SD-1 boost for it, but it just got...

here’s the russian muff w/ HM-2 EQ: (i maxed the EQ at the start of the demo like a dickhead and it sounds awful but i hope somebody somewhere deep down needed it to happen so i did, but then i dialled it down to sane EQ settings) i only realized upon revisiting this thread that i forgot to...

wicked 🤙 a long long time ago, i had similar results on my isosceles build that worked fine, but i felt it was lacking (TC pre mode was fine, but the fortin 33/grind modes seemed a bit weak/quiet) so i changed R4 from 16K to ~20K. this seemed to improve the levels a bit (although this does...

hmmm... :unsure: well, time for some pictures...

the only thing stands out to me is how or why the emitter (3) is idling at a higher voltage than the base (2). good question though, wtf is that BC550 doing? seems to be part of some sort of negative feedback mechanism in conjunction with the opamp...

🪦 RIP Shottky a faithful companion, loved by all, dearly missed.

this is sick 🤟🏻

if you have x2 10K resistors you can stack them in parallel for an equivalent 5K resistance, which will be a close enough substitution for 4.7K

hahaha band costume. cheers 🤙🏻 yeah for sure the matte sand finishes are great. pretty stoked about the new range of colours. hope we can get a good yellow one soon. yeah thanks, i’m glad it turned out being a worthwhile experiment, and yep makes a great boost for high gain/metal stuff. they’re...

around the same time that I had the idea of doing the discrete opamp SD-1 with the Wilhelm Scream PCB, i also pondered similarly about the ST-9 and thought what if, instead of having an ST-9 based around the TS-808/TS-9, why not build one based around Boss SD-1 values instead? initial...

https://amzn.asia/d/5CU5jXo this is what i’ve been using for all my demos

alright, here it is. finished a HM-2 build on the breadboard this arvo. it's gnarly. gotta do a demo soon. so tonight i plotted out a russian muff on the free space left (minus tone circuit & q4), and got it running into the HM-2 EQ. but it’s 1:45am so i can’t properly test or hear it yet, but...

so sorry to hear about the passing of your wife. i would absolutely love to help with this, and finish these off. but unfortunately i am too far away in madmaxland for this to be feasible 🫤 and then there's the risk of it going missing in the post

the key to all of this is to DRY FIT everything (and i mean everything) to ensure fitments etc. before applying solder to anything. (here's a pic where i've checked the fitment of the two boards together with the header pins/sockets already mated together, which is how they should be when you...

ay great work! 🤟 looks excellent. many thanks for taking one for the team and warning us about the jack fitment. (yet to build mine 😅)

despite claims that the amptweaker tight metal is meant to emulate a 5150, the aionfx version, "ember metal distortion', i built was quite a disappointment. there's definitely better distortions out there. e.g. the brown betty i built was way more fun. [although i reckon the 6 knob version...

cheers! none of this is really all that serious, (my preferred rig/method is a drive boosted high gain tube amp channel) it's all just a bit of fun and experimentation with the circuit that left a huge impression on me from my youth, by making otherwise awful cheap solid state amps fun and...

i was considering posting this in the modifications sub-section but im not sure that a couple cap changes is worth a post there. or anywhere really, but i guess this thread will do since the MT-2 is the largest circuit i’ve breadboarded so far. after fixing a few errors, the build sounded...
