I just built a defx sputter. You should check that out for sure.

Yeah, I just saw the measurements in the schematic and remembered the troubles some had with the desolate j201s. I also toasted a fet on my lowtide which ended up being my first public troubleshoot.

I guess I'm the fool for testing 🤡

I slapped my first desolate together with no testing devices and lucked out. Sending good vibes to your fets.

I'm pretty sure this was a freebie because I don't remember ordering it and I'm not a huge eqd guy. I did happen to grab a single AC176 when ordering some other things so I socketed just in case I received a dud but it sounded great right away. I didn't feel the need to investigate any further...

I didn't socket and audition so I can't comment on how close you have to get but the first 3 J201 I pulled out of my stash ended up being really really close to the specs on the schematic. I tested more but didn't find any that matched better. I used a DCA75.

There is actually a white line for indication. However, only one is visible in the pic. https://www.taydaelectronics.com/daka-ware-skirted-control-knob-19x13mm-shaft-6-4-mm.html

I was already a big fan of fairfield inspired circuits being a frequent user of the chopshop, lowtide, and desolate fuzz. I figured this wouldn't suck and I was quite correct. The desolate lacks a little low end, even though I greatly enjoy the sounds it makes with bass. This Nein fuzz doesn't...

Could've sworn someone else already posted an expresso report but I don't see one there after a brief search. So.... boom goes the dynamite.

Got this one placed in its pretty little lms box today. Utility pedals are rarely this exciting. I've used two expression pedals for a few years, one for my EHX H.O.G. and more recently adding an electric druid filter fx. I like that not only have I eliminated an entire large object from my...

I find that the ppcb capsize or my vero phat phuc b (moonn recently released a pcb for this) to be very nice for filthing up the nobelium just a little.

That's a sweet build. I messed with a kiwi design to put on a prunes and custard a few years ago but I was never happy with it and didn't end up using it. I got to see a few kiwis in captivity when I was there a quarter century ago and while it was very cool, it was kind of underwhelming. We...

Oh, it's good. I'm thinking about housing mine in parallel with a desolate. Might just have to build another nein for that.

I got a little excited reading this thinking, "more bass? In a Lab Rat??" It's already the only rat I've ever liked on bass.

I'm fairly committed to building all the bass related circuits that I can find. One should appreciate every bone they're thrown. This's one I was especially excited about because: 1. my frequency interchange is excellent 2. the flip top vibe is way up my alley 3. I've never seen one of these in...

I wasn't planning to build one of these as I'm among those who suffer from "Scott Derangement Syndrome" but I have a buddy who might've otherwise ordered a "NÔTABŮMBLẸ" so I had to intervene. He already had a zendrive and the redundancy would've bummed me out. I only needed to order the jfet and...

I forgot to say, Fiiiirst blooood!

As always I'm coming at these things from a mostly bass perspective and unfortunately this one doesn't win my full endorsement. It's full of character as expected but not enough oomph to be used on its own with bass for me. This is only a little disappointing because I found some bass players...

I had a chopshop on my bass board for a long time. Speaking of fets, I just prebox rocked both a capsize pre and a nein fuzz and they're super duper. Things to consider if you've got j201 and 2n5457 burning a hole in your stash.
