Thought I might straighten this one out a little as the build doc is entirely Distortion+ MXR Distortion+ Resistors: R1 - 10K R2 - 1M R3 - 4K7 R4 - 10K R5 - 1M R6 - 1M R7 - 1M R8 - 4K7* Capacitors: C1 - 1n C2 - 10n C3 - 47n C4 - 1u C5 - 1n C6 - 1u C7 - 47u* Semiconductors: IC1 - LM741 D1 -...

Decided to do this one with the last transistors and diodes from my bulk buy of green russian parts from the far reaches of eBay ... transistors are KT3102E (sits inbetween 3904 and 5088 gain-wise), clipping diodes are KD521A (slightly lower Vf than 1n400x diodes), octave diodes are matched...

Anybody else use the copper scotch brite scrubbing pads as a solder sponge? The natural sponges that came with my hardware were ... well ... nursing home fodder and I didn't feel like ordering more from Bezos so I went under the kitchen sink for a solution ... works pretty great so far, I assume...

Anyone ever change the miller cap (c4 250pF) on the booster at the beginning of the ds-1? I don't have one in front of me to mod at the moment but I'm curious if the fairly standard big muff value of 470pf helped any (other than on paper, I get that it should roll off more treble) ... if not...

2SC828 transistors, matched (Vf) BAT46 rather than germanium diodes

Here ... gaze upon my ability to assemble a partial kit I bought from the sad remains of Blackout Effectors since I don't post enough build reports might as well orient and crop ...

I was so going to build a carbon black then smallbear started carrying matched Ge sets again and the urge to tonebender mkii pro set in ... yes the transistors and 100uf cap are ridiculously oversized for the pcb but I just don't care after running through every zepp lick I could fit into my...

I really like the way it turned out (tone-wise). I really don't like that the bottom plate (with battery door) no longer fits ... now I'm shopping bottom plates

Because someone has to

Because Magnatone

I've yet to see this one make it out there ... and I'm so in the market for anything other than the mkii Galileo or the Britannia for a proper Vox in a box
