I took Barry up on his offer two posts up and just got them. It was quick delivery with everything packed carefully. I was also worried about not being able to finish some projects soon and thanks to him I'll have nicer looking pedals than I originally thought.

This was going to be my next build. I have a Daneelctro clone , which sounds good, but I still want one I can mod. Glad I can use Schottky diode for the octave, and this 3rd octave mode with more sustain. What would be the first things to try if I want even MORE fuzz, as I always do?

I'm glad to know this too, as I was planning on building an 18v addon originally. Does anyone know anything about this: http://www.effectsdatabase.com/model/pigtronix/customshop/warhog "Based on our acclaimed PolySaturator design, the War Hog ups the ante with more gain and shifted EQ points...

I also built the MiniMe but had to mod the output stage as it wasn't quite at unity. I've heard some vintage models had the same problem. I then did the easy vibrato mod which sounds good, but also changed the level , as you would expect. I was looking into the cap mod, but I'll have to settle...

Chuck, your tone mod makes the control actually do something, thanks. Was the stock setting just at too high a frequency? I noticed no change before. Have you tried any silicon transistors for the octave part? I've had good results with both lower and very high gain ones, but went back to...

What was the tube stage on the Bigger Muff supposed to do anyway? It was between both clipping stages I think.

I've been using BC549C and BC550C's for BC109 projects. I'm not missing out on anything other than mojo, I hope? All measure between 450-650 hFe.

I hope you get some help here as the MK1's can be tough to get right, especially for a first fuzz. Leakage will matter here. You may want to buy a set already auditioned for you and even then, use sockets to keep experimenting.

A lot of things will work, and even the real ones used things other than the AC128. They have some recent Russian germanium and all silicon versions. I have a real Vexter one and have made clones that sound just like it with AC125's and Russian MP16B's. I also tried silicon (2n3906...

Are any of you doing any mods to the volume section? The "volume" on these is a bias control that DOES affect level, but changes the distortion character along with it. I've made both of these stock and figure I'll just add a simple boost stage with volume control at the end. I say that...

HamishR, can you share more about the insides of the Hybrid Fuzz Drive? I built the Screwdriver and Lunar Module (both great) and was always curious about that one.
