Hey, folks.
Recently tried and built myself an ungula.
The thing does not sound like a Big Muff and only makes sound if everything is dimed. Even then it doesn't achieve unity.
Here are the specs of the stuff I used and some modifications I made:
-I didnt have 1n5187s so I used a 1n4001
-Got myself a lot of some original NKT 2N1308s. For consistency's sake I went with a couple with a hfE of ~240
-I used KT3102V instead of 2n2904s. The hfE was of ~400. Since they were the ones used in the Russian Big Muff I thought this would sound better than the stock parts.
On both transistors, I checked the CBE layout.
-I am using a 5mm pink led instead of a 3mm red one for status.
Do the 3mm LEDs used for clipping need to light up when the circuit is working? In this case they are not.
Any tips/clues would be appreciated
