That's good.

There’s a heck of a lot of thread here for not one single sound demo. Just sayin’. (sarcastic smiley emoji). Breadboarding it this weekend.

 

[Chuck D. Bones]

So we can expect a demo from you in the near future.

Actually I think it was HousTom who wanted the demos! I don't mind - I know what these things sound like. And I bet yours sounds spectacular. How could it not?

This is such an awesome drive pedal. I'll post a full build report later, but here are some pics in the meantime. Q1, Q4, and Q5 are BC549C (hFE ~520), Q2 is a 2N4123 from Tayda (hFE 79), and Q3 is a General Instrument 2N1304 (hFE 57 leakage 13µA). If you haven't built one yet, grab a Gerber from here and build one.
