Was looking at the documentation on the FuzzDog RawFuzz V1 and see that they have two BoMs
----------
The original DBA circuit apparently uses 2N5089s (probably pre-sorted for low gain?), 430K biasing resistors, and 680nF caps in every stage, which apparently very rarely works the first time.
FuzzDog's "stable" circuit uses 2N5088s, 820K biasing resistors, and 220nF caps in every stage.
@PedalPCB's Bellum on seems to be 2N5089s, 430K biasing resistors, and 100nF caps in every stage.
----------
I know PedalPCB likes to say they "don't make the weather, just report on it", so I guess I'm wondering
A) who has the original trace correct? FuzzDog with the 680nF caps, or PedalPCB with the 100nF caps?
B) would it be smart to build the Bellum MKI with FuzzDog's "stable" BoM? Or is this circuit not actually as touchy as they're making it out to be? (yes yes I know the right answer is "just socket everything and try" but still)
