Like @Zanshin I bought some NOS 1S2473 a while ago. They may well reach Vf of over 1V at some current, but in my tester they measure the same as 1N4148. I have a Boss SMD DS-1 and a clone that is built to Pre-94 spec (as described in Comet build doc). I used JRC4580D like my Boss original...

Thanks spi! I agree vero takes more effort and time than PCB. But I find that actually is kind of a nice thing if you enjoy the building itself. It's like Lord of the Rings vs Lord of the Rings extended edition. I you have the time, why not? :D

Hi all, I was bored so I started building a pedal that I already sort of have :). Well, I have the Thermionic Deluxe. And now I built the normal Thermionic on Vero, using a layout from Alex over at tagboardeffects. Why? Well, bored. And I thought it'd be interesting to see if with Vero I get...

Reading this I remembered that I had built an aion Plexus, too - some time ago. I couldn't remember if it was noisy so I plugged it in and cranked it. Don't think it's noisy. Some feedback if you want it, but noisy it's not. I didn't play it a lot, but it's a fun pedal, just sat down 20 minutes...

A schematic for active DI was put on FSB a few days ago: link. Even a vero layout was posted for it. Seems easy enough to build. Only took a quick glance, though.

I'm sure your right on all counts. The DMM I use is my UNI-T UT61E+. During the measurements (mV and V) on the vero the numbers were always jumping around a bit. I didn't care too much, for me they're all ballpark numbers. If you say that for Si transistors the actual leakage will be (way)...

Forgot to mention, I don't have the sensation that there's too much top end with the 2N2222A. I have the extra 10k between the 220n cap and the Presence knob if that makes a difference. Presence control works nicely. I like it the way it currently sounds, so I'll leave it like it is.

Sorry, my mistake. I must have slipped up when I measured the 2N2222A. I redid it, also two 2N2222 metal cans, they all seem fine, low leakage. My 20€ T7 tester also shows no leakage for these (for the Germaniums it does show leakage). Transistor Leakage mV uA Gain V Beta 2N2222 20 8.09...

I have now five AC127 and tested them in RG's tester that I put on vero (DC reversed to account for NPN). Results not very inspiring I think :) I was able to bring up the collector voltage, though. I needed to go down a little lower than 4k7 for R10/R15. But seeing the not-so-impressive...

Thanks, I ordered 10. I've seen them mentioned on the forums quite a lot, but I don't remember ever doing anything that would require them myself. I'm in EU and order locally, so mostly retroamplis and Musikding. I get ten BC549C at 0.10 apiece, too. € that is. :)

Thanks Chuck! I don't have these, BJT NPNs I only have 2n5088 left. I'll order some transistors and then I'll recheck. Kind regards, Seb

Hello Chuck, everybody, I have the HFD on the breadboard and it sounds good to me. Kind of like this YT video. I used 2n5088 for Q1 and Q2 on the breadboard. I will order the BC109C transistors for the actual build. I have two AC127 transistors on hand. I measured these voltages: Q1 2n5088...

Hi Robert, I see what you mean. But I also see the 1n cap in the photo juansolo posted here. Next to volume pot, it's standing up. It says 102K, so 1n. There's no other 1n in the project. Next to it is the gold cap with 2u2 from after the output buffer, where Aion & PPCB show 1u. Kind regards, Seb

Hi all! I put the Galileo on a breadboard to see if I like it (turns out I really do). So I compared the different schematics on the interwebs, the ones I've found anyway. I think it was traced first on FSB by juansolo: Link Then there's the PPCB Bohemia schematic: PDF And the Aionfx Gaia Mk...

Regarding "i’ve never played one with so much gain", I remember that you also built a tight metal clone. Has the Disarray more gain than the tight metal? Just curious. Thanks!

OK great. Thank you!

Hi all! I'm working on my first vero and I'm wondering if I can clean it with IPA like I clean PCBs. Is that maybe a bad idea and the copper strips will come off? Kind regards, Seb

I don't really understand the first post. It says the pedal clips when everything is maxed out. Isn't a fuzz supposed to clip the signal?! Anyway, maybe it works just fine but it's not what you expected. Check this thread, even comes with sound samples: Link

Late to the party. I breadboarded the BMP while waiting for Robert's Fuzz Muffin PCB. I started with the "Mask Us" version from the build doc. I think that's more or less a BMP V3. Lots of gain, but not very tight in the bottom end. Didn't like it. Then I tried "Stomp 75" from build doc. So...

Hi Paul, hi all, Sorry for the necro post :) Last entry in here happened even before Corona I reckon. I tried the measurement circuit for the JFET you posted (2 x 10k, 1 x 1M, JFET, [email protected]). I tested the two JFETs I used in my ADHD breadboard circuit. All Vp and Idss measurements done on my...
