Until the end of the longer video, when I add the Rat, yes. It's pretty dirty as is

I didn't have any 2n3392, so I grabbed the first transistors I found in my stash with the same pin out. Those happened to be 2SC1815s. R4 & R8 reduced to 270r to push the input and output a hair more. 1.5k added between lug 1 of the Sens pot so it doesn't bottom out Big, nasty, clangy. Build it

Built to the doc, except I replaced the diodes in the envelope detector portion with BAT46, reduced the Sens / Sweep pot to 5k w/ 4.6k from lug 1 to ground, and added a 50kB in parallel with R34 & R35. This effects the response of one of the formant filters, and is highly interactive with the...

Built to the doc, a except I added a 1MA pot in series with R23, and an on/off/on switch tied to lugs 1&3 of said gain pot. The throws select between a pair 1N41418, and a mismatched white led / 1N4148. I increased C3 & C4 to 22n as suggested in the doc. Master volume trimpot made external. Ton...

Someone hit me up about possibly building an OD-1 so he could get a bit more mids to cut through the writhing sonic mass of his bassist and drummer. Being me, I had to suggest the Rat. He said he'd planned on grabbing one of those too, and so I says to him, I says, "fuck it, we're getting two...

I'll try to do a shootout when the Revv gets here. I've also got a Lectric STFU I can throw in the mix

I did end up sniping a G8 last night and it should be here in a couple days. I'm honestly not too impressed with the Zuul / Muzzle. Even with the key input, it messed with the picking dynamics and sustain, and changes the tone significantly. For front of chain gating, the Smart Gate and Muffler...

Sorry for the four year necro, but any update on this? I was about to pull the trigger on one, but if I can build it, that'd be ace

I'll chime in to say the Kewpie is indeed rad, and I say that as someone that doesn't particularly care for the transistor Muffs. The Fuzz War (Bellum) mkii is another I enjoy I'm really digging Mask Audio's Helvetica lately, though. It's not the wall of fuzz the muff is known for, but it does...

They're not really new for me, but I've got a large haul of em (the big box Rat type shown here, and the bigger double size) I'm trying to use on more than just Rats. I haven't used any of the newer Bud box in Hammond dimensions, but the NOS ones I've built with have been pretty awesome...

Resonant too-short delay into clangy heavy fuzz 🤤🤤🤤 Build it with a series / parallel and order switcher

Built to the doc, except R7 which is reduced to 470r for more lower gain range, and R18 which is 18k because I didn't feel like digging out a 20k This is a pretty rad take on the transistor Big Muff topology. Gets rid of the clipping diodes and third stage filtering, and has had the tone stack...

Since putting together these two most recent Telemasters, I don't even touch the Meteora. Being solid maple, it's on the heavier side, and the Alumitone is just a bit too dull for my Tele loving tastes these days. I need that scrangly clanging twang The mods do help fatten and tighten it up a...

Outside of the fine tuner and increased speed capacitor for the LFO, and omitting the diode for the LED, this one's built to the doc Distortion is courtesy of one of my Rats. At some point I plug in an expression pedal Housed in an NOS Bud Box CU-234, and labeled with a Posca pen This...

I've got a spare of each, if you wanna mess with em in your Rats

Built mostly to the doc (Turbo spec), with the changes being - Opamp swapped to TL070 Comp cap is 39p High pole cap is 2.7u Low pole resistor is 470r Clippers are square red LEDs Tone pot is decreased to 50kA, resistor preceding it increased to 2.7k, cap decreased to 2.7n Distortion pot is...

Another commission, this time from a bassist wanting something filthy, funky, and classic (And, I used an actual bass for this demo. Though, I did screw up and recorded with my Twin sim instead of the SVT I setup specifically for this demo 😅) The Ocelot board is the most tweaked, as the goal...

Since they're both just voltage dividers, I'd just switch the wipers. This will halve the values of the pots, so you may want to double up there, but there will be no meaningful interaction otherwise. Here's a quick vid using 1MC pots- lugs 1&3 tied together, wipers floating

Built mostly stock - a few components on the echo side I had to use the closest value I had on hand, turned the dark/ bright switch on the reverb into a 100k pot, and the added Feedblast footswitches. Think I might need to replace the blast pot for the reverb, it's range seems screwed up...

I was getting mine from alexer1 / SOVCOM on eBay, but he hasn't seemed to have much in the way of opamps lately. It's been a while since I ordered anything, but I've bought a ton of stuff from DSMCZ. The search function on the site blows, so be prepared to browse. Shipping used to be...
