Thank you! I’m going to look into this, can you tell me where you sourced your 2n2369s? I’m only seeing eBay

Hello again team! I'm gearing up to build a range finder. I currently am borrowing a friend's "Strange Master" pedal which allows you to switch between Silicon and Ge diodes. I expected to prefer the Ge but to my surprise, the Silicon is far supreme! Im wondering what Silicon transistor you all...

OK I experimented and found that the BOM recomended 1N914 diodes actually sounded best to my ears! The mojo parts really made very little improvement. The 1N914's seemed more "even" for what thats worth. Thanks so much community!

Thank you @BuddytheReow and @SillyOctpuss! Would this suggest that the MA859s could sub in for all 4 of the 1N914s?

Perhaps I will socket them and experiment

That may be above my pay grade! I am a novice here (should've made that clear in my post).

Hello! Just putting the finishing touches on a glory hole PCB here. It just occurred to me I have some left over NOS diodes from a king of tone build (4x MA859 and 4x 1s1588). Would either of these be suitable to sub in for the 1N914's that are on the BOM? I have those too but the allure of...

Hi all! I'm planning on building the double pendulum for a friend. Just wondering if you can get the same functionality out of it as the single pendulum if you just use one output? Are there any principal differences to the single (apart from the stereo nature obviously)? Any other quirks of the...

Just buy some daughterboards and j201s from this site! It’s really not hard to solder SMD. I know it feels intimidating though

Im pretty sure this is an issue with the j201s. I had sinilar issues with mine. I replaced them with now ones on daughterboards, calibrated and it fixed the issue!

Replaced the J201s on daughterboards and bam, all is well. J201s sure are finicky! All good now

I think you’re right but this sort of thing gnaws at my psyche 😂

This is so useful! I’ll try switching out this 2N2222a with another and see what happens there. I have some legit 2N2222s coming so that might help too. I’ll report back. Many many thanks for your generous help

I hope very soon we both have working chop shops

Incredible! THANK YOU. I dont know how I missed so many

Also I’m wondering if the JFETs are biased correctly, could they be the problem? If a JFET will bias, and is within range then does that mean it’s doing it’s job?

Great idea, I was going to get daughter boards but could not find somewhere that had them in stock! Does anyone have any leads there?

That's interesting! I do have some 2N2222's coming in the mail. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks so much! I appreciate it. It sounds great otherwise! Hoping this is normal behavior. Also wondering if a lower value volume or gain pot might fix the issue. Either way I guess I’d never max both out, but having unusable settings tends to gnaw at my subconscious!

Small update: When calibrated at these values, the wild squealing only happens when drive and vol are maxed and I sweep through the sag pot. It actually sounds fine when I back off volume. Is this typical behavior?
