Tone bender mki replica

Hi, here’s my finished build of a mki replica.
Enclosure from fuzz cases. Painted the enclosure myself and also did the decals. Sourced all the parts and was kindly gifted the board from @Laundryroom David been a stressful 3 months of working on it but really happy with how it’s turned out. Hope you guys dig it too.

I always love the ludicrous size of those old enclosures vs the board size.

That's an excellent build. What transistors did you use and what hfe, leakage etc were they?

What was your signal chain for the demo?

Hi,
I first had 2x ac128 in Q1and Q3 and Texas Instruments 2G371 A in Q2 but it wasn’t great. So I decided to changed Q1 for a 2G302 and Q2 to a cv7003 and kept the ac128 in Q3 and that’s what your hearing in the sound clip.
Q1 2G302 hfe 89 leakage 68
Q2 cv7003 hfe 111 leakage 16
Q3 ac128 hfe 220 leakage 250
It’s plugged straight into my orange micro terror into my orange cab that’s it.
Thanks for the kind words too very much appreciated.

Cheers pal. I couldn’t be happier with how it finally turned out. Might have a few more grey hairs from it. But hey! It paid off.

Wow. It looks and sounds great. It really is my favorite fuzz circuit.
Bang up job!
