This one was another pleasant surprise. I've never played the Mastotron but have seen a couple old demos. I've seen alot of 2N2222A builds but I must say this one may be one of my favorites. It can get a bunch of different fuzz tones out of it. The subs switch is where it really shines. Just on the middle setting its kind of thin but flip that switch and it thickens up big time.

One thing to note is I had to go with an "outie" style DC jack since my "innie" style ones did not clear the top of the PCB. I'm sure a Lumberg style fits fine but I had already drilled for the bigger size. Thankfully I had 1 last outie on hand.

For a good time, put it after a meatbox.

That sounds wicked. Thanks for reminding me I need to build one!

Edit: Crap! I don't see the PCB on LectricFX anymore!

Edit 2: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I found it and ordered it and will blow some speakers out.

After a meatbox? Interesting!
I’ve always done meatbox last in chain, but I’ll have to try this out
