I was looking at the solaris implementation. That looks really interesting. Maybe that pickup section could be put in a passive pedal all on its own? I had a simple plan on tag boarding a Ge fuzz pedal, but that looks like it needs more thought :-( thanks, great info in this thread! Pb

That is interesting. I wonder if the sunflower input clean 50k trim would help? Maybe i would have to add the transformer in the link you sent. If so it might be worth breaking out to a real pot instead of trim. Thanks Pb

I crank down the volume on the guitar for bc108 fuzz. I will be interested to hear what the difference is with Ge. I definitely have to move the pedal before all the boss pedals. Thanks Pb

Hi all Is there any mod/resistor change for the sunflower to play nicely with EMG pickups? Or other high output humbuckers? I have the guitar vol turned way down. Maybe that is just a fuzz thing? Thanks Pb

awesome thanks. I haven’t seen that before Pb

Nextgenguitars is close by but you have to order on line Anna pick it up the next day. They are great to have in town! I wish radio shack was still around Pb

I wondered because the ic legs are a bit different like you said. Probably worth just ordering the proper strip from Amazon. It will be here the next day but i have to buy 10. Thanks Pb

I am looking at the sunflower fuzz schematic. There is a 50k clean trimmer on it but pin 3 doesn’t look connected. Is it not connected 3-2? Like the bias trimmer? Here is the full schematic https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/Sunflower-PedalPCB.pdf Thanks Pb

I wonder if IC socket holes would fit the transistor? My local part shop doesn't sell the in line sockets, but it sells the 8 or 16 pin IC sockets cheaply. Maybe I could hack one of those apart. The real question is would the transistor fit. Pb

Thanks for the explanation! Pb

Hi all, I am wondering what the 1m ohm res (R5). does in the silismile circuit: https://docs.pedalpcb.com/project/SiliSmile-PedalPCB.pdf I have seen a few designs that don't use it, but I think all pedalpcb boards do. A lot of designs don't use the 47uf cap on the power rail. That one make...

ok, makes sense. thanks Pb

Hi all I have the silismile working well when the bias pin shows 4.6v. I tried putting a 6k resistor group (4.7k+1k+330r)in its place and i get the almost the same bias voltage. There is a 1k resistor beside the trimmer. Wondering why that 1k is needed with the trimmer right beside it. Why not...

I have had that one for around 30 yrs, it is beat up and jangly and dull. I need to get a new one. Pb

Thanks for your help! I was missing the ground jumper on rail 2. I flipped the cap. (That was new to me). And set up the diode as you said. It works now! Thanks for your help! i learned a few good lessons today Thanks Pb

hi all After several rebuildings, i get no output other than radio stations 🙄. This is a bread board attempt at the fuzz face with si bc108. I am wondering about the orientation of these. From what i can tell the peak on the cap points closer to the pin 1. I can see the bias voltage and i...

that looks like a really useful site! surprised I didn't find it googling. thanks pb

I will check it out! thanks Pb

Awesome. I will. thanks Pb

wow, 3-4 is fast. I have to use the cheap thailand shipping so I don't get screwed by customs. I will order one of those protoboards. I was waiting for them to update the build instructions, but it should be fairly straight forward. thanks Pb
