First build - Mudbunny

[mysticaxe]

I just finished my first build last night - a Civil War Mudbunny.  After a minor hiccup (didn't order enough transistors because of how I read the parts list), it fired right up.  Sounded pretty cool last night through my solid state home practice amp (Peavey Vypyr) and headphones (sleeping kids, wife watching TV in the next room).  After playing for a few minutes, I did a minor tweak from the Skreddy threads- I added a couple caps (2nf across 2&3 of the sustain pot and 560pf across 1&3 of the volume pot).  That was interesting - made the tone a little smoother.

The thing I'm still thinking about is that the sustain pot doesn't have a lot of range - it is pretty much saturated by ~1/2 of the travel.  I've seen people add parallel resistors to play with the taper, so I may try that.

I did get lazy - nothing on the top yet...

Congrats on your first build.  Lets see those graphics when you get it done!

I love it when circuit boards look like they're covered with candy.

Awesome!  Nice to have you around these parts!

It was a lot of fun.  I might be hooked (already thinking of about four more projects)!
