Triad Fuzz

Am I being a troll? Maybe but I'm not posting this to start any political conversation. Just a joke that I followed through on because I was bored. My friend who will receive this will feel better knowing that if Josh is a homophobe, he'd hate this and if it's just a rumor, he'd be fine with it. Also, that rustoleum rattlecan metallic pink is pretty sweet.

I'm a cishet man, and I love it.

EDIT: Also, I really don't get the impression Josh Scott is a bigot. He may have other faults but the "evidence" that he's a homophobe is very shaky even by internet conspiracy theory standards.

Cishet myself but rabid supporter of the community. Definitely not saying I believe he's done anything because I don't know the man. I'm hoping he's all thumbs up on this box.

Nice. I like the pink.
I had to look up "cishet". Okay, and Josh Scott.

I had to look it up, too! This cishet man digs the pink as well!

going off his instagram account, he has a segment where employees showcase their favorite guitar pedals. Quite a few members of the LGBTQ community are part of his workplace. Anything I read on the internet I take with a grain of salt...

That's good to hear.

I heard that Josh Scott enjoyed the movie Cats (2019). Of course, I only heard that when I made it up and said it aloud in an empty room, but I heard it nonetheless.

I should have saved the mailer from the pcb so I could sing my own jingle. "He has the envelope!"

 

[Mentaltossflycoon]

Just realized I said nothing of the sounds. I like it quite a bit, especially for the gated side of the bias pot. I was somewhat underwhelmed by the fat switch, not that it does nothing but what it does did nothing for me.

Also, I often find myself drawn toward diming the fuzz knob as my preferred setting but I like more of the backed off sounds found here.

Old thread but I'm just getting around to this build. Did you use BC548A's? Seems very hard to source those. But seems like an NPN around 100 hfe should work?

I had to crack it open and look but yes, I have BC548A's in there. Unfortunately it's been so long that I have no idea where they came from but I rarely stray from Tayda, Mouser, SBP, smallbear, and LMS.

Thanks for checking!

i got some off amazon in a combo pack, i love this pedal. the bias knob is useful throughout the whole range and you can get a ton of good sounds out of it (like most JHS pedals imo).

I see a bunch of the BC548B but no BC548A. It may not make a real difference anyway. I'm just going to socket first and try some of the shit load of other NPN Si's.

Also, VanWhy — cherry pick out of the BC548B you have that are closest to BC548A ie lowest gain amongst them.




Never came across this thread before, nor the term cishet — add me to those who had to look it up.

Very sweet build, Mentaltossflycoon, especially delicious colour — amazing it came out of a rattle-can, though I too have had success with some spray-bombs.

I'll double check if it's B's or C's, now that I think about it I'm not sure. regardless I still love this pedal!!
