    Sandspar Fuzz - hissing/fizzling at high fuzz levels

    Yeah, I think there's something wrong because I don't really hear the same sound in demos I've listened to. I should note that I'm using bc549c right now, but I've cycled through a few. I don't have any BC108, so I have to try other ones.

    Sandspar Fuzz - hissing/fizzling at high fuzz levels

    I've tried a few different transistors, but I'm getting similar issues with my Sandspar Fuzz (silicon fuzzface) making some interesting noises when the fuzz is cranked up to max. At first I thought it sounded kind of cool, like a broken record, but I'm trying to figure out how to make it go...

    https://drill.taydakits.com/box-designs/new?public_key=ZEVEVXZpWlNZcnBmM1pOeEtwOXA5QT09Cg== Haven't actually ordered this yet, but was pretty careful making it. Pretty sure it's correct.

    I actually like the never ending scroll, but I appreciate if it's optional. It's nice to be able to load a whole category on a page in order to search with ctrl-F

    List view?

    Any chance to add a feature to the website to display products in a single column/list view? Personally, I find it much easier to scroll down without having to dart eyes left and right a bunch of times. Browsing large categories like Distortion or Overdrive would really benefit from this change...

    Reducing output volume of Muffin Fuzz / Big Muff Pi

    Look at what you made me do.

    N00b Question: using a backwards 3PDT daughterboard

    I've removed backwards boards before. It's not that hard so long as the pins are quite a bit smaller than the pads, which in is likely the case, given how much clearance there is with most 3PDT. Just hit a few at a time if you're worried about the heat. And use good wick.

    N00b Question: using a backwards 3PDT daughterboard

    No, I had this same question at one point too. The ground and onboard/offboard wires aren't routed symmetrically so they don't work correctly when the board backwards. There's a reason why it says that side down.

    Reducing output volume of Muffin Fuzz / Big Muff Pi

    Sounds like you have done a good deal of leg work. Do you have any of those variants published with notes on how they sound? Or any other guidance to share beyond what you wrote above? I will probably build another Muffin Fuzz or two and then maybe tackle a Muffin Factory. It's daunting to think...

    Reducing output volume of Muffin Fuzz / Big Muff Pi

    But I will certainly be building a second muff sometime soon and will definitely take your advice to let me ear guide me. What are your thoughts on the Muffin Factory? I feel like that might be too many permutations for my OCD mind.

    Reducing output volume of Muffin Fuzz / Big Muff Pi

    @Feral Feline, I might have already committed a bit to the David Gilmourishness of this one.

    Silicone vs. PVC stranded wire

    Is anyone using silicone hookup wire? It seems that the pre-bonded PVC wire that I get from SBP breaks easily. The cheap rolls of silicone from Amazon seem to hold up better, although there may be downsides as well. They feel very different to work with. Silicone wants to rebound to its quasi...

    Reducing output volume of Muffin Fuzz / Big Muff Pi

    I built the David Gilmour pedal discussed in this thread. Didn't you say I should *increase* this value though? Should I try decreasing it instead? Or just add a trim pot?

    Reducing output volume of Muffin Fuzz / Big Muff Pi

    Good call. This helps a lot. Much more use from the volume knob now. Thanks.

    Reducing output volume of Muffin Fuzz / Big Muff Pi

    R21: 12k R22: 4.7k Maybe I'll just stick two trim pots in there? Can I adjust one and not the other, or do they need to remain balanced?

    Reducing output volume of Muffin Fuzz / Big Muff Pi

    This pedal is far too loud for me. I would like the volume knob to be more operable. What can I change in order to help reduce the output?

    SOLVED Popping noise - rotary switch Rangemaster

    The other side is the switch itself. Also, there's much less clearance on the other side, I think.

    Tube Amp recommendations

    I don't know what "relatively cheap" is these days but if you're a buy-once-cry-once kind of a person, a BF Princeton Reverb is the golden ticket. A reissue can be had for ~$650 if you really shop around. Or you can hobble something together from a kit for around the same price.

    I see now. You're right.
