Right on! I’ve got a ton of transistors and can honestly say, part numbers rarely, if ever matter. Some of the best GE fuzz pedals I’ve built were a total mixed bag of GE transistors, just in the agreed upon parameters for hfe/leakage. Even then, some circuits will sound really good outside...

I consider anything under 100uA (.100mA) to be low leakage. Anything from 100uA to 300uA to be mid leakage and above 300uA to be relatively high leakage. I’ve found this categorization to “work” in a lot of GE circuits. That said, some circuits are more picky than others for particular...

My man!

One of my all time favorite fuzz pedals. Love the sub octave “trombone” effect you get when the circuit is starved with the Mood knob and Range toggle. Also, very responsive to your playing. Dial the Mood knob back a bit and play softly, you’ll still get that sub octave sound. Although, pick...

Ok, you have a point. :)

Oh shoot, all this thinking about saturation and I misspoke. You’re absolutely correct, I meant to say Sustain. Thank you for clarifying that. To the main point about my inquiry, your explanation (as usual) makes perfect sense. Thank you for the swift and complete reply, as well as the...

So, I was curious if this was a case by case basis option. I socketed the two optional LED’s and when they were in the circuit, I’d get some decent saturation/drive when the Saturation knob was dialed anywhere passed noon. Took the optional diodes out and now it’s clear as a bell, even with...

I was just reading that. Very cool, thanks!

What in the world and less than $0.50 a pop??!! Have you purchased from this place? Thank you for the heads up!! I thought I was lucky finding them on sale at GPCB for a couple bucks a piece -same exact brand as well. 30 PT2399’s for $15!! This place seems too good to be true. Tell me...

Yup, that was it. No luck on the Skeptical Buffer, though.

Man, more SB switch pop…. I tried everything with the few I built and couldn’t get it not to pop. Too bad, it’s a great sounding pedal. Nice looking builds!

Still patiently waiting for this one. Tell me I’m not hunting snipe.

I had mentioned those previously. I’d rather find the culprit. Seems to me, if I had built a handful of these successfully prior to the five, with the same batch of components (not to mention dozens of other pedals) it should be something we could narrow down. It doesn’t make sense to me why...

At this point, I’m open to any further suggestions. This is really a weird one. Dozens of pedals built between these five, all with the same component batches -not a hint of a pop on any of them. Not to mention the few successful SB’s I built before these 5. Although, those were purchased...

Oh, it’s definitely related to the LED. Problem is, doesn’t matter which color or brand. Not too mention the same LED’s, as well as other components/switches/jacks etc have been used in numerous other builds without issue.

Whelp, I ordered two more of these. Now I have five Skeptical Buffers that pop when activated…. I don’t get it. I must’ve built a few dozen pedals between them without issue, not to mention the plethora of others before. I’ve built a handful of Skeptical Buffers, that didn’t pop, before...

I actually received my order! Had a couple extra pcbs as well. For anyone considering Moonn, he does have great stuff and while it may take a while, I think it’s worth the wait. Just plan on the delivery taking a month or two, if it comes earlier, that’s a plus. They always eventually arrive.

You ever get your order delivered? Man, I don’t know what’s going on with that dude. Sent him a couple messages and nothing. Mine never showed up.

Awesome! If only he’d ship my order from early April! I’ve tried messaging him a couple times to no avail. Too bad, he had some neat designs. Edit: Just got a message that the order was shipped! Glad everything seems to be ok with him. Edit again: still hasn’t shown up….. no answers to...

Very cool! Do we know what the FETs are?
