    CDXL Classic?

    Not sure why it took me so long to find out Jonny Greenwood used a DOD 440 on OK Computer but I have and now I've read through a bunch of old posts about the issues folks have had using the Xvive VTL5C4/2s in the classic build. Was wondering if the Classic has been permanently shelved due to...

    Lemonade OD - add treble and pre-gain?

    That's awesome, thanks so much!

    Lemonade OD - add treble and pre-gain?

    @PedalPCB, been meaning to ask, but any chance of a new batch of the Lemonade (and MOSFET Driver) sometime soon? Cheers!

    Wanted - Rare Mojo Parts - Will Trade

    Maybe not so much a trade request or anything like that, but have folks had any experience placing orders from Tubes Unlimited/nosvacuumtubes? I've got an itch to try out some 2N280s, but it looks like the ones Small Bear has in stock are really low-gain. This site seems to be the only other...

    Smallbear is back up! - sorry if this has been posted already

    I did! Shipping notification came in a day or two after my initial comment and was delivered yesterday. Now just have to wait for the subsequent order I placed to get here because I couldn't take the time to comb through all of the listings the first time 🤦‍♂️

    Smallbear is back up! - sorry if this has been posted already

    Speaking of Pedalhacker, has anyone placed an order with them recently and had it delivered without too much delay? Placed two orders nearly two weeks ago now and haven't gotten a shipping notification or anything. It's usually taken a few days from the date of purchase for them to get orders...

    Question About Octave Diodes

    I'm currently scrounging up parts for an Uberfuzz build and the OA90 replacements I ordered came in early. I tested them on my DCA75 and they came out to .531V and .605V. Was reading through old threads about diodes and was wondering if a difference of .074V was outside of the range of optimal...

    Mutagen Fuzz…

    Shit, sorry, should've replied directly to Feral Feline when asking about the other Mutantes board, but this is super helpful too!

    Mutagen Fuzz…

    Ooh, is that Fuzz Dog's Mutantes Fuzz, or is there another take on the Regulus VIII out there?

    A Moral Dilemma

    I've been debating putting one last order in with one of the Ukrainian sellers I've gone to in the past for diodes and transistors. I'm not sure, though, if the benefit of a little extra cash their way would outweigh any potential safety concerns for them in just getting something shipped. (I...

    Recommend some NPN Ge transistors

    When I was reading through RG Keen's write-up on the Fuzz Face, I thought I remember reading leakage up to 300ua would work in a FF. Is that not the case?

    Transistor Specs for Tone Vendor Mk II?

    If I'm reading the schematic right, I could go with 70/70/100 hfe and just play with the values on R2, R5, and R7 to get the desired voltage, is that right? And would the voltage laid out in the Aion docs still be useful? • Q1: Collector -8.5V, Base -0.05V, Emitter 0V • Q2: Collector -0.15V...

    Transistor Specs for Tone Vendor Mk II?

    Hi all, I've tried combing through old posts here, as well as on diystompboxes, looking for some guidance on gain and leakage specs for a TB Mk II build, and hadn't really had much luck other than finding out at least Q1 needs to be leakier than what you'd use in most other circuits. Until, that...

    Sunflower and Gnat Fuzzes: Experimenting with PNP Trannies

    Yeah, definitely hear what you're all saying about the overall importance of gain and leakage in the circuit. I think my question came to mind because of the way Analogman writes about the different tonal qualities of transistors they offer for Sun Faces (e.g. the 2SBs are smoother than others...

    Sunflower and Gnat Fuzzes: Experimenting with PNP Trannies

    This is a dumb question, but how does the mismatched pair of transistors change the sound compared to two of either the MP20s or GT402s? I'm waiting on an order of Russian transistors and looking forward to experimenting with pairs myself.

    Low and High-Gain Sunflower Builds?

    I'm currently stocking up on a bunch of ge transistors to test and use in a couple of Sunflower builds and was wondering if there were guidelines on how to use either low or high-gain transistors (as opposed to using the 70/120 rule of thumb for 'conventional' FFs). I'm looking at some...
