Cool!!!
Yeah these didn’t seem to be as picky as the son of ben ones...
I probably did get it from Tayda but it could’ve been mouser...
I can’t really remember...
I’m ordering so many parts now-a-days it’s hard to keep up...

Was just curious, mine crackled and popped like crazy. Swapped it out with a TL072 and it cleared right up.
Wasn't sure if it was just a bad opamp (if so it'll be the first defective part I've ever gotten from Tayda) or if it wasn't a legit part.
Probably was just a defect.... After hundreds of thousands of parts ordered over the years for pennies, I can't really complain about one bad opamp.

I know I’ve heard some people don’t ... but I order a lot of stuff from them... I’ve started realizing some of their transistors seem like they’ve been picked through and some ICs (mainly tc1044) aren’t too good... and so now I get my transistors and caps and ICs from mouser
but all in all I love Tayda...

Beautiful! Gloss black box is very classy. If it sounds good, you biased it right. Is that a "gold" switch from BLMS? I picked up a few on my last order. Now for the $64,000 question:
Does it make you sound like Paul Gilbert?

I still haven’t tried one of those gold ones...
Maybe if I had $64,000 worth of lessons.. lol

I built one using a NE5532 from Tayda. Sounds great.

If anyone else is building one, I'd recommend trying out biasing using RunOffGroove 'Triode Emulation' formula.
A closer look at the Fetzer Valve
Vcc is supply voltage -- The 1044 puts the supply voltage (from a typical 1-spot supply) up to 17.55.
Vp is the pinchoff voltage of the JFET -- RoG measured a handful of J201's and found the average to be -0.83v.
So in most cases, the drain-voltage (Vd) to give the J201's the most 'tube-like' distribution of harmonics would be 11.11v. JHS probably biases right at Vd=0.5*Vss (9v) like in the Superbolt, but this just sounds sweeter, albeit a little lower gain.

I biased mine a little under 9V, I'll have to try the 11.11
