You'll be fine. This circuit is pretty slutty, it'll get along with just about anything. The advantage of rolling your own is that you can adjust the distance and angle of the LED/LDR combo to balance the response, unlike a vactrol which is fixed.

Gotcha😉. You like those chicks with deep voices🧔‍♀️.

For a one sided etched board with stranded wire I absolutely can see the benefit.

That is probably the answer that will make me stop asking why on this one. Thank you.

Ok. Thank you Robert. That is a choice I guess. But now my question is, what stress can that wire possibly be subjected to inside a metal box with no moving parts?!

I’ve got a question, and perhaps I’m missing something, but how does the circuit work with +v jumped to Ground?

Dunno. Maybe substitutions. I’ve build a couple of these now and I dig them. My customers praise them too. When I test pedals I use an Orange Terror and a Mosrite copy. The recording has a lot of reverb and compression that the pedal doesn’t make so I wonder if people are missing that part.

No, A=Anode, K=Cathode

Try facing the leds into the ldrs and placing them closer to each other. And make sure you are testing with the ldrs in complete darkness.

Pics?

C6 is 100nf when it should be 100pf.

I have a job with a lot of downtime. I build all my pedals and do the business end at work in my lab where other girls knit or doomscroll. I couldn't imagine doing this in my actual free time, or at home. It buys me a new car every couple of years but it is still pure hobby for me.

You should be at unity volume after noon on the volume pot. And the Carbon Black gets plenty loud. Some vintage fuzzes were not designed to boost, but most should.

I built one of these and I think it is dead on and sounds great. One of the rare instances where the copy lives up to its own hype.

The superfuzz has an unbearable noise floor, while the acetone is silent running. Both make the same woo though.

They are splayed that way to allow the spring tension to hold them in place before soldering. Mostly for benefiting automatic processes. Most ICs globally are not socketed.
