Chalumelau & Procrastinator

[Fuzzonaut]

This one is a lot of fun. I put the fuzz on a switch, thanks to some explanations of the fine folks on this site.



And the SG-1 is a strange thing. I got the swell going, but still - is that it? Kinda leaves me scratching my head.

I feel the same way about the Procrastinator. I was able to get the most minimal of swell and that's it. I have an old Guyatone Slow Volume and the difference is night and day. I was thinking about trying some different transistors. What did you use? I used BC549Cs and a 2SK30A-GR. I was thinking about trying some 549As to see if that made a difference. Just a shot in the dark really. The Guyatone has 2SK30As everywhere and one 2SC1815 which seems to be consistent with the original schematic.

I have 549Bs in there - I think I've tried Cs first, but the Bs gave me slightly better results? Not too sure.
Trying different transistors should be worth a shot, if they're in sockets.
Otherwise, there might be some ideas here: https://chrisjuby.com/projects/slow-gear-guitar-pedal-clone/
