Box 66 & Kilimanjaro

[Fuzzonaut]

Hello,

new guy here, I tried those 2 fuzzes for starters. As I didn't want to spent too much on transistors, I went through what was laying around.

For the 66, almost anything sounded great: currently there's a Russain GT320B and a AC128 (I think).



The Kilimanjaro was a bit trickier, some transistors where giving me a bit of oscillation on certain filter settings, which actually was kinda cool, but currently there are two Russian GT403B and a AC125.




It would be cool to have a "Mojo PCB" for some of those low part count, old school fuzzes with a wider spacing around components, especially caps.
I'd have liked to throw some totally oversized caps into the 66.

Awesome stuff, great job!

I like this idea, years ago I designed a few for etching that looked similar in style to eyelet boards.

Dear FUZZONAUT, could you please tell the specs of the three transistors used in the Kilimanjaro? I mean Q1, Q1, Q3 HFE and leakage.
Do you have a soundfile of the Kilimajiaro?
Thanks!

Hi, no I'm afraid, I don' have the specs at hand - and the pedal is with a friend ...
Also, IIRC, I didn't test any of the transistors I tried, I just went through what I had lying around and stopped when it sounded best to my ears.
No sound files either. Sorry.

Nice graphics and tidy builds!
