Thanks I'll give them a try. From the pics I've seen the fakes dont have the cut notch or divit so hopefully I can spot any

Tayda has 2134s for $3.5 - a buck cheaper than Mouser but I don't get hit with Mousers $9 shipping. Anyone bought these from Tayda or have opinion on reputability for these types of components? No dis intended - I've had GREAT luck with them but the market is flooded with fake JFETS, OP AMPS...

yeah I'm really liking the sounds he gets. The Chasm Reverb is interesting me with the oscillator

Recent score of several hundred NOS 2N2222A, some gold leads. Not a burning question - but any reason not to use them over 2n3904? And they just look cooler....

Thanks - I'm going to have to get one of those. Do you have any other of his pedals you'd recommend?

looks really cool - im a sucker for ambient delay where did you get the pcb - his site? what type of pots and how do they mount? 9mm? how do you like it compared to other delays?

I have the Mega one and no it doesn't measure leakage. Ge NPN and PNP will be off. I've been using the below method smallbear how to measure

yeah I've got bucket full of the old metal can 2N2222 that I've heard can be used in some as well - univox super fuzz?

Im starting to see why people get sucked into the whole fuzz pedal black hole! It's a simple enough circuit - but there's a lot of variation that leads to all sorts of experimentation and fun. Very organic... kinda like cooking or gardening...

Thanks - yeah I just measured all my 1960's Texas Instrument 2N1304/6 stash and I have a pretty good selection to chose. And AionElectronics has some decent guides on gain and leakage, as well as biasing- I know the tone benders can be picky. I'll probably order a few PNP fuzzes and try them...

So looking at all the cool fuzz projects and a lot are PNP - not all but a lot. Given that I've recently inherited a bunch of NOS NPN germaniums I was wondering.... Anything wrong with - aside from not being correct vintage wise :oops: - using NPN and jumping / leaving out the charge pump...

Which tester? This one? I've had issues with it recognizing J201s that I know (from Mouser long ago) were real Edit: I just used it to check some 2N5457 ones that I got from Mouser and it shows up as NJFET

+1 shipping is reasonable there so total (for one) is about $5 but it's a pretty safe bet it's genuine. I think that pedal only needs one 2n5457

How do you like the pickups? I have some of his Keystones in a Tele and a Strat

yep - haven't done it with pickups but have with other things using my Analog Discovery Digilent USB. Has a network analyzer and special app Impedance Analyizer. Works awesome. https://reference.digilentinc.com/learn/instrumentation/tutorials/waveforms-impedance-analyzer/start If anyone is...

Theses a guy on ebay selling them: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Audio-Signal-Transformer-10K-to-10K-1-1-Triad-TY-141P-New-Fast-shipping/264480804691?hash=item3d9448cf53:g:VgkAAOSwWpZdj5Jn Good price at $3.25ea. Shippings a bit of a rip at $8.65, but if you buy more it's not bad. And 8-9 is what...

These look interesting for about $100US https://www.eevblog.com/forum/testgear/de-5000-vs-de-6000-lcr-showdown/

I've used a 2" sanding drum setup on a small drill press - and just move it (the 1590B) back and forth. Takes a while but worth it.

yeah definitely a challenge esp with all those pots

very nice! Yeah, I've done it for the Simulcast and Gen Tso. A pain but I just like it better than 125. It's sooooo close. If they were just 1-2mm smaller....
