Where can one find the original project I can’t find it in the shop.

Ahem…demo lol? Dang it now another one to put on the list. I always thought the CMOS circuits sounded like a Red Llama also…or any of the old Snarling Dogs pedals. 🤣🤣 Pretty sure they were CMOS if memory serves. If we get this tariff mess out of the way I’d start ordering some boards!

Here’s the board minus the 2.2uf that goes to the left of the resistors prior to installing the pots. Yes I used the wrong sized sockets but I was able to bend the legs inwards to fit. Initially meant to just put one for the germanium in Q3 but I wrongfully assumed the third transistor was Q3 so...

All I had was 2.2uf electrolytic lol. Thanks for the help.

@HamishR Not a thing wrong with JJs if you ask me. I have plenty of them. @JohnnyCreepy When’s the last time you tried a JJ? I believe they’ve become more consistent within the last couple years. Possibly due to the fact of Psvane entering the market. I believe they’re doing TADs tubes now and...

I’m just gonna go with electrolytic since it’s such a large cap and is all I have anyways. Hopefully this thread will help someone that tries this build in the future.

@HamishR Im right there with you man. I’ve never owned NOS power tubes but have owned some used matched Mullard xF2s and RFTs but was just in the right place at the right time for a good price. Immediately Had them tested and sold them. After playing them of course. Current production power...

@vigilante398 Actually I remember chatting with you over email about EF86s and that you had one or the IEC branded Mullard silver plates. Those are some of my favorites and I remember reading somewhere that the Mullard silver plate was Mark Sampson tube of choice for the DC30 after an extensive...

@Chuck D. Bones or anyon, Is C2 supposed to be electrolytic or CAN it be electrolytic? I noticed on someone else’s build that they uses a 2.2uf metal film instead of electrolytic. I only have 2.2uf electrolytics. The values 2.2uf for the hybrid fuzz driver.

Beautiful! Looks like you do have several silver plates Mullard and Telefunken! I’d try one of those against the gray plate Telefunken and compare the differences and then try one of those TESA branded RFT’s. The RFT should break up much quicker than the silver plates but won’t have the clarity...

I Are you referring to the winged c? I only need 1 and would be down for that. But yea probably wait until this tariff mess is over if you aren’t in the States.

Man that’s so cool! Y’all building all these amps makes me wanna take a stab at it but I’m just not at that level yet. Pretty ironic you mention Psionic because Lyle only lives about 30 minutes away from me in Memphis whereas I’m right on the Stateline in Ms. I don’t know him personally or...

@cooder That is AWESOME!!! Do you build amps on the side??? Very rare gray plate Telefunken you have there as well! I’ve only come across 1 of them…and unfortunately it was microphonic. It was a shot in the dark type deal though and I got my money back. On the other hand I have several silver...

The power of persuasion! 🤣 Clean build as always and you even brought the wire out for the off board parts! I really didn’t care for the demos either but did have high hopes that it’d be a good stacker…kinda like their version of the Bad Bob or Mini Booster. Something that can add some extra...

You have a preferred EF86?

I’ve been listening to sound samples compared to EL34s and it sounds like the KT77 actually break up a little sooner or easier than the JJ EL34L atleast while the latter had more “thump”. I was surprised at this and they did seem to have a “more transparent” tone even during breakup. How do you...

If you’re building for the masses then a Hot Rod Deluxe, AC15C1 or DSL40 you’d wanna test through. If your building for yourself why not test it through your amp?

@vigilante398 That looks great! What’s your EF86 of choice? Is is true that those Monoprice amps are really re-badged Laney Cubs? I’ve a friend that has one of the Laneys and he gets some good tones out of it. I’ve considered getting one of the new Super Tops since everythings gotten so...

@spi Thank you my friend

I forgot to post this from the BOM. I thought the cap on bottom left was C6 also but C6 is the second cap in the row on the bottom right after C4.
