continuing on with the DS-1 saga, once again, curiosity has gotten the better of me... so the other day i saw a 1991 DS-1 for just aud$79 at cashconverters (local online pawn franchise). i don't need it. i tried to be good, and ignored it for a week or so. eventually gave in. here it is vs...

+1 same. i first got the idea when i saw your builds. and i feel its absolutely worth it when shit goes wrong. yes desoldering isn’t hard, but when you’re at that stage of the build and getting thrown by an error, being able to just pull the whole thing out is pretty valuable and absolutely...

depends on the circuit. and depends on the stripboard layout design. some designs are shit. some are good. but overall, not a huge difference IME. as above. breadboard builds are usually the most prone to noise vs. stripboard (vero) or PCB build as above. it depends. stripboard is a lot more...

haha ya gotta go to the build reports for those 🤙🏻

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)
