Yep, I did mine in a 1590Q as well and am glad I did. I still play it all the time! Will have to try out the setting you have in the picture there. Here's a setting for one of the best chorus sounds I've heard: manual and range at 9:00, speed at 3:00, and enhance at 12:00 or less.

Oh this is a beauty...I had my Mouser cart for my DM-3 board just about ready when a bunch of crap went out of stock! Especially the trimmers. Oh well, I'll throw the parts for another project or two in there and sit tight I guess...

This looks great! I've built both the "stock" version and the Albini as well. They're both great, but the standard one sounds more like I expected the circuit to sounds.

I've definitely been wanting to build an Ibanez delay circuit but grabbed the DM-3 board because it was the closest available. Now I see you're doing the whole 9 series! Love that.

It sounds awesome! Always partial to the Ibanez stuff.

Oh I like this! Been wanting to try out either this or a Guvnor-based one.

Great looking build nonetheless! I would doubt having those Si transistors close in gain would really change the sound much, so if it's sounding good, slap that lid on and play!

Ah, the original of this had some sort of ZZ Topp tie-in, right? Looks awesome!

It does sound great! Am I wrong that the schematic looks similar to the Keeley Fuzz Head? Basically a transistor boost into a "differential fuzz" with an output buffer? I believe the Keeley was trying to do the same thing sonically, anyway.

Well, this speaks to me! Glad you made the choice you did.

Looks great and I have been curious to see one of these in the wild! I know what you mean about those trimpots. I once order some 3362R or U thinking the footprint would be the same as 3362P. Turned out they're not!

Nice! I recently did the 1973 #18 from his website, and I can see the potential for going down the rabbit hole with these.

This is awesome! Love the graphics. You were on the right track with the lower-gain Q1 and Q2. That's what the Mk III/Buzzaround/Dizzytone actually wants, as well as wanting a higher gain/leakier Q3. Finally, the diode almost has to be leaky for it to even bias. I learned that the hard way on a...

Thanks to you both! I've seen that vero and it looks intense, so hats off to you for taking that one on. For mods, two I could picture would be the drive switch on a footswitch and the second trimmer (the Q5 one) as an external knob (as suggested by Ghost Effects in the build doc for a short PCB...

Imagine an era where the big secret thing our governments were working on was the most intense fuzztone of its day! If only, right? I've had this board since 2014 and have finally gotten around to boxing it. My daughter got me this lovely aqua Rustoleum for my birthday and that was the impetus...

Glad to see your build report on this circuit! I've been curious about it. One thing I'm not clear on--the Ge transistor as diode in the clipping section should be NPN or PNP? I thought NPN from the schematic but not sure if that's right...

I love this! I'm glad to see something new in DIY analog bbd land as well. I approached storyboardist with an idea to do an Ibanez AD-80 or AD-9 a while back and it sounds like it could happen (but I'm sure will take a bit). In the latter case, pretty sure it would be 3205-based.

Demo sounds great! I honestly didn't know what a Metal Zone sounded like, but the owner of a local guitar shop in my town swears by its EQ section.

Yeah, that should be great. Lower gain in Q1 seems to allow for good volume knob cleanup in the silicon FF.

This is awesome! For what it's worth, I got some BC549b recently and they were all around 360 for hfe, so definitely less than the 549c. They may be just what you want here.
