Good News Everyone!

Inspired by @steviejr92 , I bought the two diode auditioning tools from StompBoxParts..one for me, and one for the commenter who makes the lucky post. Free shipping worldwide (customs or additional charges excluded)

Make some noise!

that seems like a very cool thing

Fig has a big heart, I would not know what to do with most of the stuff he gives away!

Indeed. I think I'll breadboard one as well, with my own selections.

You know, science is funny… “this BJT transistor’s Hfe is causing the frequency of this oscillation to collemprifry on the galinger pair, which is why your Klon doesn’t work…now, can you hand me the diode picker thingy?…”

I always end up with 1N148 or 3mm red LED anyway.

one red one yellow is nice

Using the resistor / capacitor boxes in tandem can be a powerful tone shaper for circuits.

I think you’ve taken a wrong turn somewhere if you have a BJT in a klon.

I didn’t know the component substitution box was a thing, that’s incredibly cool. I may buy one if I don’t win one. And that knob setter, I was thinking about one of those a few days ago. Now I feel like I need one.

What’s wrong with having a Big, Jaunty Tone in a Klon?
