The build docs on the Beatle Juice Fuzz call for OA200 diodes on D1 & D2. It says next to that DO-35. Am I safe to assume that means it's calling for a 1N4148? Thx
Thanks!
Thank you. I saw those also and was wondering why they looked different than the ones in the photo from The Mocker PCB above. So why do they look different?![]()

As a PSA, I bought these from eBay U.K. and they are legit. Haven't compared them with 4148s, but they sound fantastic and were about $7 shipped
I also used BC547Bs from Amplified Parts and they are good as well.
I love this pedal as well. One trick pony but for psych leads it kills. Thanks for getting backI used 2N2222A transistors and 1N4001 diodes and it sounds great. Also used an A10 pot for volume and it's probably only marginally better than a B taper for spreading out the volume leap! I don't know what affect changing the value would have but not much is my guess. Try it.
This is a great pedal.
Did you end up using a A10k or B10k like the doc lists? I am starting the Beatle Juice and I have both on hand. I also have an A5k if that's what you ended up with using the resistor.Put a 10k resistor across the volume pot to lower it to a 5k. Worked great. Lot more control over the sweep instead of exploding at 9 o'clock.
Cool, thank youI tried the resistor approach across the B10k. Initially felt there was an improvement but now not so. I will replace with the A5k and get back to you. Thx![]()
