@benny_profane Sorry I completely misspoke on my last comment. I swapped a couple different BC108 transistors I had to see which combination had the best results. I found a set that sound good where I have the pedal set. I may end up adding that cap down the road, but since I'm not maxing...

@benny_profane I ended up swapping a few of the resistors in and out, and positions, to find the best combination. Found a pair that sounds great!

Thanks @benny_profane !

Thanks! I've been playing around with different transistors and noticed it changes each time (some more noticeable than others) (bc108b, bc108c, 2n2222) The way I have the pedal set up currently I am not using the fuzz pot dimed (or past 3 o'clock), so its taking that hiss and sizzle out. In...

Hey all, Recently built a silicon Sunflower Fuzz and it sounds great! I have noticed that when turning the fuzz knob from about 90-100% I am getting a 'sizzle' sound sustaining off each note played. Here's a clip with 1. clean guitar 2. the pedal on with fuzz about 3 o'clock 3. fuzz all the...

Thanks for the help @Chuck D. Bones !

I'm learning :) It was never a matter of 'dont wants' or 'willing to throw aways', I realized after I had the parts that I was basically building a silicon fuzz face. The questions I was asking were how to make it work with what I've got. I appreciate you offering advice and helping!

Thanks @uberjohn ! As this entire build has been a learning process in more ways than one, I already drilled the enclosure for a third pot ?‍♂️ I have the pot on hand so at this point I'm open to going either way with it, I certainly don't need to use it on this build. I was reading that...

My understanding was that when using Silicon transistors in this build, it basically renders the Sundial control useless. That control was supposed to be used for NPN Ge transistors for adjustments to compensate for temperature in conjunction with the internal bias. Now I have read that the...

Moved this thread to the Modifications board as well, as it seems more appropriate.

Hey all, I'm building the Sunflower Fuzz but using NPN silicon transitors instead on PNP. I found another thread in which the following necessary changes were provided: Omit C5 and IC1 Install jumper from Pin 8 to Pin 5 of unpopulated IC1 (this will give you a +9V rail, no need to fool with...

@PedalPCB Is the sundial pot omitted when doing this build, putting the jumper on the board? Or is the jumper from pad 1-2 done on the pot?
