Yeah, I’m to old and fat to join. I won’t even survive global warming. As usual I’m about 20 years late getting into something.

Looking forward to hearing the sound clips! Where does one go to even find legit AC128’s?

Good with some decent volume. Never played a fuzzface type pedal so I’m just going off what I’ve heard online.

Got my Sunflower done last evening. 2G303 in Q1 (HFe/leakage 97/35) and a 2G308 for Q2 (178/63) from Smallbear. With the stock R3 I couldn’t get the bias voltage below about -7.0V. Since I wasn’t shooting for a Sunbender I pulled R3 and R4 and put in sockets. Tried several different resistor...

🤣🤣🤣🤣 and I thought the LED in the chicken’s eye was the ticket!

I did the alcohol inks first. Sealed the ink with Kamar spray, then cut out the waterslide to fit in the bare spot. I’ve done a couple other enclosures with inks without slides as well.

Finally got my oxblood knobs! They just miss touching by about 1/16”. This pedal is one of my favorites once I got the bias V up. Thanks for the help with that!

Yep. It’s not nearly as close on those left two as it appears. The gut shot shows that better. I wasn’t straight up from the pedal when I snapped the pic. I’ve done a little filing as well. It’s always the spacing I have trouble with. The drill press fence is helpful to keep them in a line though.

Finally have time to start working on some pedals. Here’s another Brown Betty. I got one hole off just a hair 🤬

Anyone ever use the TI 2G30x (301,303,308) in the Sunflower?

Set the bias at 6.75V and wham! There it is! Awesome fricken pedal. This is gonna be so much fun. thanks everyone!

I’ll raise the bias voltage this evening and see what I have.

I used a CV7112 with 90 hfe and zero leakage. The collector to the right looked to be correct but I know the CV7112 collector and emitter positions can be swapped. Thanks for clarifying for me!

Does it make a difference which side the collector is on (left vs right) as far as sound goes? I currently have my build with it on the right and bias set to 4.5V. I guess I was expecting a little more crunch out of this after listening to the Red Rooster demos. Otherwise it’s quiet and seems...

There was very little overspray into the enclosure. I did leave the tooth washers on the inside to get a good bite. Continuity checked out good everywhere. I’ve had to “fix” a couple holes like that before. I did use the template in the build file and double checked everything. Maybe the body on...

Finally got a chance to start working on all the PCBs I’ve bought. I’ve built a handful of other pedals, but this is my first PedalPCB build. Figured I’d go with something plain as I get a feel for these. Works a treat and really sounds good when you open up the amp a bit. The only issues I had...

My son bought me this one for Christmas and so far it’s been great. Has enough amperage I can etch with it as well.

I really, really liked the demos online for the Infanem The Driving Notion 5 knob. Covers a lot of ground.

I listened to the Skreddys. The Hybrid sounded best to me, but they all sounded more like OD’s than some of the other fuzzes I heard. Liked the Analogman Sunface NKT red dot models. Liked the Bonamassa fuzz over the Eric Johnson model. The Pink Purple Fuzz was really nice.
