Fantastically simple idea - thank you 😂

Hello! I recently purchased a Fuzz Dog PCB, a clone of the Reeves Supa J fuzz - itself a silicon based take on the Tone Bender Mk II/Marshall Supa Fuzz. But I repeat myself :P Has anyone here got any info on what value hfe I should be looking at on these? The build docs don't specify what to...

Sorry, an above unity gain buffer at the end of the fx loop haha. But now that I'm thinking about it, if you were to be very pedantic, a good quality opamp buffer before the fx loop would offer much better performance than a basic CC buffer of a BJT... it probably doesn't matter, but dual...

Sounds like a cool idea! I'd probably just stick with the ocataver personally. Definitely stick a buffer in there if you're doing that. (y)

Since this is gonna be on my bass rig, a PedalPCB ocelot looks like it's gonna find it's way into this one haha

That does make sense to me. Personally I would use an clean boost for those purposes, but I can understand wanting that volume built in to the unit! Hahah I should thought of this myself tbh. You've sold me on the concept! Indeed they are. It's generally 1 minus a bit of loss from the voltage...

Hmmm... I'm not really sure I understand the use case of that. I usually try to keep my drive pedals at around unity, maybe a bit more for cutting through a mix. Can you explain to me your thought process for an above unity clean blend? Genuinely curious, as it could make me open my eyes to the...

Every one of his videos makes me want as many octavers as I can reasonably fit on my floor.

Hello! I recently got a Brassmaster PCB from Fuzz Dog (pedalparts.co.uk) and I was wondering if anyone here has any interesting mods they know of for this pedal. I really like Zachary Rizer's demo of the Hiero B.E.A.D. and I'd like to add some the functionality of that unit to my build. One of...

Tho Those are some ambitious pot placements 😂 Wouldn't 9mm alpha pots have made more sense there?

Haha sorry, I got carried away taking the mick out of marketing copy there :ROFLMAO: I saw some of your PCBs available as kits on musikding and I was very impressed! I thought they looked very interesting. If you made your Lab Rat available there, I'd snap it up in heartbeat.

That would be very cool of you! But unfortunately you don't have sub-miniature tubes forged under a waxing moon on an overcast July day, with germanium diodes made just so, while mercury was in retrograde, so honestly, how much of a fuzz is it really ;)

That's certainly interesting! Is it like a two transistor topology then, but Q1 has been replaced with a tube?

Thanks for the input. There are some available on Reverb right now, all from the UK. I can't really justify spending the asking price on one of them just out of idle curiosity.

Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for. Very nice build btw, looks fabulous.

I've been intrigued by the idea of an all tube fuzz pedal for quite some time. I know that it probably is at least possible, at the basic level it should just be a bunch of cascading stages of preamp tube or a few. One of the DOD guys claims to have built one in the 60's when he was asked by a...

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but do you make PCB files/schematics available for your builds? I don't really know what the common practice amongst pedal creators here is, sorry if I'm committing a faux pas here haha

Thanks for clarifying, that makes sense (y)

Too late, it's already been used in a mission critical part for a satellite launch ;)

Thank you for explaining. Much appreciated!
