Calamity Fuzz

I LOVE this pedal!!!
Had to socket the zener cause all I had is a 5.6v... still waiting on the right one from Tayda but it sounds awesome!!!
Subbed 2N5457’s instead of J201’s...

Nice job! Is it as nasty as the online demos?

Yep...
Very nasty spitty...
I wonder if that half a volt on the zener is even gonna be noticeable ??

I've been tossing up whether to build one of these, you've just convinced me!

All I have is a 5.6v zener too, would there be any noticeable difference instead of using a 5.1?

I didn’t A/B it but I remember it sounded really good before i put the 5.1v in...

I will stick with the 5.6v. So it doesn't sound as great now?

If only we had a schematic...

It sounds the same...
I didn’t A/B it but i just socketed the diode and when I put the new one in I didn’t notice any difference...
