Spaceman Charon on vero

I like Spaceman stuff and when they came out with the Charon, I was of course interested. Deadend FX traced it and came out with a PCB, but given the simplicity of the circuit, I decided to try it on vero.

It's a 2 transistor NPN Siilicon / PNP Germanium fuzz, looks like an inverse Percolator circuit, according to Deadend. As usual with Spaceman, there are ferrite beads in there too. I used a 2N2219A and an old Hitachi 2SB75 as transistors. I used the Deadend voltages to bias it.

Does it sound kinda percolaterish? It gets some of that vibe, I'd say. The Gain has a nice range, from dirty boost/OD to fuzzy, here's a short loop on bass.
