No worries, I can twist legs like a pro! Thank you, kind Sir.In the original:

The pinout is indeed the typical CBE (Tab is emitter). I should have marked those on the board.
I stuck with the usual footprint because I thought most folks would just use their favorite Tone Bender MKII set. (or these days, whatever is available I suppose)
I'll have the doc posted shortly.
SBP ? small bear?I used GT402's from SBP for all spots, think I used 70ish, 90ish, 110, and it sounds amazing.
Keep in mind, you’ll have to twist the legs if you use these.SBP ? small bear?
Do you have build document?I used GT402's from SBP for all spots, think I used 70ish, 90ish, 110, and it sounds amazing.

I saw that thank you I'm just wondering how you knew what components to use for the build, I'm not new to soldering components to a board but have no idea how to populate it with out a list saying what R1 is or cap1 isNo build docs. I did a search of the forums and Robert posted something like this on another thread. You can literally use any PNP that fits Tone Bender specs.
Perfect thanks for that info, I've also got a shoe box full of components, hopefully I'll have what I need, wont have the ICs thoughI've been building pedals and working on my guitars/amps for a long time. I have organized cases I bought from Harbor Freight filled with everything I need to build pedals. I have numerous kits of resistors/capacitors/etc.
All of PPCB's boards have the component values silk screened on the pcbs. While the image online of the PCB usually doesn't have the values, the actual boards themselves do. So since I already have everything I need, I just buy the boards from here and if they don't have build docs, no biggy, I just follow the values printed on the boards and fill them with the piles of components I've horded over the years
Its most likely a voltage inverter for the PNP’s. Probably the TC1044SCPA.Perfect thanks for that info, I've also got a shoe box full of components, hopefully I'll have what I need, wont have the ICs though
Interesting. I haven’t noticed any noise with the 1044’s. I’ve got at least a hundred of them. Next time I build something that takes one, I’ll compare it to the 1054. How does the 7660 compare? I’d imagine closer to the 1044.Yeah I think it's a tc1044, I'll check when I get home from work. I've been "splurging" for the Lt1054's, been getting too much noise from the tc1044's and the lt1054 have been dead silent for me.
I'd love to see a gut shot of your two tone fuzzI've been building pedals and working on my guitars/amps for a long time. I have organized cases I bought from Harbor Freight filled with everything I need to build pedals. I have numerous kits of resistors/capacitors/etc.
