Title: Zygote PNP Q1 question
Post by: ch1naski on August 08, 2013, 02:49:27 AM
I've got my zygote all wired up, a couple of ac128's in it, q2 biased nice and neat at  -4.5 v.... but I just ain't getting fuzzy enough. Q1 is HFE 83, q2 at 125.
When I check the voltages on q1, I get nothing over a volt.

Q1 emitter is 0 (emitter to ground)
Collector is 130mv
Base is around 60mv

Q2
Base 150mv
Emitter is around 110mv
And collector is at 4.50

I'm not getting it..... My q1 seems a bit screwy?

I mean, it sounds OK.... But not nearly as fuzzy as I would think it should. My son's JH fuzz face is more fuzzy.

Am I expecting too much from a germanium fuzz?
