Just built a Fuzz XIII (Basic Audio Lucky Number) and it's great! Really like it. But when I push gain over around 2-3.00 I get that familiar hiss/squeal thing.
The only thing I did which isn't stock was use BC550B transistors instead of BC549C. Surely they would be close enough?
Oh, and it's a Vero build because I wanted the Fat knob to be under the Volume pot - maybe the layout is causing an oscillation? I have changed the layout but both versions I have built squeal much the same.
Could it simply be a matter of sticking a small cap over some transistor pins?
Thanks!
