Yeah I basically added one as a few people had commented that taming it was quite difficult given the interaction between balance/timbre it just became very very loud. It was a very easy addition so i felt adding it would make it super easy to play around with settings more. My biggest issue...

thanks man. The fuzz face was a direct copy of your guys design :) so thanks for the influence. The buzz around took some time to get right but i think it worked pretty well - was originally going to be hieroglyphics and then went with a matrix style 'worn look'.

Thanks Man. I half wish i did the FF and RM on eyelet or turret as well however the amplified parts stripboard was a nice vintage style board too. Eyelet board was also a bit easier to wire in the pots - the dane was a pain in the ass !

Ha thanks man. I wanted to have gold knobs with the gold switch but at the time struggled to find appropriate ones.

Thought i would show a couple of my latest Builds The first build was a Burns Buzz Around using a eyelet board. Most of my components were purchased from Amplified Parts - except for the Q3 transistor that i had a stash of! This was my first build that started on breadboard prior to building. I...

Perfect - thank you. I imagine the eyelet board is very safe to drill through with a hand drill or drill press?

Out of interest did you mount this board ? Or is it being “held” in place by wiring etc? I could not see in the pics so thought I would ask. I’ve just received my board from Hoffman amps. It doesn’t have mounting holes but thinking I should probably drill a couple

Are you using pcb or acrylic there? If acrylic do you know the thickness ? Eg 1 or 2mm? A lot of the people in aus only offer 2mm or above and just making sure this is not too thick

Understood haha. My turret board is on its way… although tracking seems to have stopped a week ago in Australia… slightly concerning!

thank you. Biggest issue in the states is postage to Australia, The cost of postage will likely be 3 x the amount of the product! i will enquire & try and find a company locally as well.

Thanks Man - its just a micro deluxe so reasonably small in terms of controls etc but a good idea. Have looked up a few PCB, acrylic/plastic options as well as the original option of getting a strip of aluminium from somewhere and just UV printing.

Thanks man. good info. Yeah the chassis im using is 254 x 51 so should work. I am just working out whether i buy an aluminium strip and use UV printing or try something different with these PCBS. Thanks for the measurements - that looks right to me, interestingly some of the amp chasiss pre...

sorry man old post! I am looking to do something similar for an amp chassis. Main questions - i assume they pre drilled the holes for you? or did you drill the holes yourself ? if pre drilled - what mm size did you use for your pots and spst (if you remember?)

Ah interesting - most of the chassis I’ve seen has a hole in the top to fit “part of the transformer” and then bolted on. Interesting that you were able to just bolt on top .

Great work! I’m looking at the deluxe micro at the moment. Can i ask how you drilled out the square hole required for the transformer ? Was a step drill enough for the valve holes?

Thank you. Good advice. I will take a look at the GG version. Breadboarding sounds like a must with this one ! thanks again. Your post has led me down a rabbit hole of info haha.

Thanks for the prompt reply. Does that mean the original Albini HP doesnt have the sub octave effect? Whilst I understand you have taken the original schematic and made some big changes to 'increase the sub octave' if i make the suggested changes as per my post would i Not get somewhere...

Thanks so much for the effort in a) researching this build and b) taking the time to share your findings. I am keen to build one of these after finding the layout on amplified parts. I am planning on using a turret style build and the steve albini schematic. Given this style of layout, the...
