DEMO SugarBag Drive (Beetronics Fat Bee) - Demo Added

[MichaelW]

Thank you for posting a video yeah your clean tone sounded digitally enhanced or something with like a reverb vibrato or chorus ior something.

Oh, and you're not wrong....heh.....it was a pretty wet sound......but it's all live, nothing in post and all analog signal path. Nothing digital until my Apollo.

Great demo, Michael! Nice build too.

Question: can you measure the drain voltages on Q1 & Q2, please? I'm curious how the JFETs are biased.

If I still have it, and if I can find it, I'll give it a quick measure and maybe crank out a quick demo for @PAGOON. It's been years since I even last saw that color and knob combo.....I may have scavenged it for parts at some point I honestly can't recall.......I'm blaming it on the cancer meds and radiation......

Oh … C-bones I will do that right now! Thank you for explaining… J113 . Q1 5.699v and Q2 5.360v
2n5457 q1 6.220v q2 5.699v

That's how you index them!
You build report are your card catalog.

Thanks, Pagoon.

I'll post something on TWOTBB in a couple of days.

On mine I get 5.35V/5.89V
