What’s on *YOUR* workbench?

Maybe it's because it's barely 8am but I can't figure out where the 3k goes. Isn't it the biasing resistor for Q2c? A bit low for that too.
And the 220k from input to ground is...a high pass filter?
Man I have to stop looking at vero so early in the morning

3k resistor controls the output Volume of the Fuzz. It connects to the 2nd and 3rd pins of GATE. I found that 3k is plenty loud. But 2k7 might be a little more usable.

The 220k resistor is just an anti pop resistor.

EDIT: I see what you mean though that its not connected. I just updated the schem:

220k is enough for a pulldown resistor?! My whole diy life is a lie!

Anyway hope we get to hear it soon!

The old one looks more like mahogany than pine.

My understanding is that 2x4's did in fact used to be 2x4, they we started planing them to make them flatter/cleaner (I assume because we needed to use boards from nearer the outside of the tree). So a board that "started as 2x4, before it was planed" is still referred to as a 2x4.

Or that's a rural legend I happily accommodated into my personal confirmation bias.... (maybe I've been watching too much philosophy vids on YouTube)

Our house was built sometime in the 1890s. The framing is all rough sided redwood, a bit bigger than 2 1/8 x 4 1/8. I’ve had to cut furring strips to pad out any modern lumber.

I can also remember in the early 70s when 2x went from 1 3/4 to 1 5/8, which meant that residential floor joists needed to go from 2x6 to 2x8 to meet code. Last time I measured, I think it was a bit under 1 1/2…

Starting to look like a vehicle again.

Had to stop working on it to work on a money-maker POS modern truck that has more rust than the ‘41. Not worth a photo, the newer truck is being fixed up to be resold; I’m learning how to pull dents, straighten bumpers and apply Bondo on the 2014 pile-O-junk.

What was the outcome of your tests? Am just setting up a new Mouser order and had a few 1656 in it to try out, mainly in designs where the 2134 has been great.

There's one slot in my Bax EQ board where 1656 currently isn't stable (low grade high frequency ringing on the scope trace), but both it and 1655 are working great everywhere else I've tried them. 1641/1642 both have been working flawlessly in every position in my boards and I still have a few mix and match combinations to work through eventually. Starting another pedal build right now, and I intend to try something like 1641/1656/1642/1641/1655 this time around. But I rarely use the exact same build spec twice, so proper A/B comparisons aren't such an easy thing to come by for me.
 
I have an Aion Lithium (EHX Small Clone) all ready for assembly. I just have to get over the initial anxiety of assembling a BBD circuit…

trying to clear it off / put things away today but just seem to be perpetually running out of space.
