inspired by the recent Sheepylove DAFT Fuzz build(s), this brought to my attention the Dunwich Amps FuzzThrone, and upon seeing the schematic, was immediately amused/keen to try this fuzz face/big muff/mosfet boost goulash stew. easy build with standard parts, hell yes. and it's actually...

good point. i guess when you've got plated thru-hole, it becomes less necessary.

my bad. it's a fair question though. marshall did it all over their boards the benefit? other than reinforcement, - perhaps helps keep the wires pushed against the chassis (for less noise?) rather than flying around vertically.. - durability for future maintenance? i wouldn't say it's...

how bizarre. imagining this is a spring reverb, and then the result everytime you hit a pothole / speedbump etc.

my guess is it relieves stress for the builder, more so than the wiring.

was really looking forward to a @MichaelW fretless strat jam

yeah except they forgot one of the pickups

update: so i finally got around to it and tried mods #2 and #3 (470R/2U2) as described below. i already tried red LED clipping earlier on, and it is good. glad to finally be done with this DS-1 thing so I can free up the breadboard for something else. here's how it sounds sadly I'm not...

once again I'm a bonehead and I've inadvertently found a mod I like from a breadboarding error. this time it's a Buzzaround. so I turned a MkIII build into a Buzzaround with the same MP38A transistors. tried it, really liked it. sounds even better than the MkIII, i thought. captured a demo...

what about Deep Bass Nine

fuck yeah. great work

which build?

anyway here's the end result: (build thread)

fuck yeah. this is on my breadboard list. if i like the circuit, i'll probably build it with this layout. cheers 🤙

fuzz factory. everyone was right. it’s heckin awesome. (quick lil tone test with a pair of MP20 PNP Ge units)

as discussed in one of @Ginsly ‘s threads about opamp muffs, i tried a few of them and none of them really seemed to be that exciting or exceed what i enjoyed about my EHX V5 opamp muff build, but this one was really good and seems to be a bit of a sleeper. As this circuit introduces some...

this one seems a bit more burly/aggressive/chunky than my '09 DS-1, I'm really not sure why, but for now I'm going to assume that the opamp, and possibly transistor selection - might play a fairly significant role in the resulting sound - in a way that I've not really experienced with other...

at last 🤟 funnily enough, this one was quite a troublemaker 🥵 this took me much longer to get a handle on and running properly than it took for a Boss HM-2 or even the MT-2 - both more than twice the size of this circuit. didn't help that I initially started with a fake TA7136 (got my refund)...

that's a fairly astute observation, cos it basically is one. has nearly all the same values. although I reckon there might be some, dare i say it, magic - going on with the 10M input/pulldown resistor in the fortin, or maybe it's the BC549Cs doing a better job, cos I liked this a lot more than...

the problem with breadboarding is that, compared to pedal building, it has a much faster feedback loop in the mesolimbic/reward pathway, and I can't stop 🥵 but for real - this is a killer fuzz face variant. the girth control works well too (but i had it maxed all the way towards the 1U in the...
