Title: green russian
Post by: cjkbug on June 17, 2011, 01:31:38 PM
here's a mudbunny built to green russian specs. I used bc547's for transistors throughout. I have posted my values for the mids control mod in another post, they work well so I am sticking with them. this pedal proguces a HUGE range of tone. the mids control is a welcome addition. the diodes are socketed and stuffed with run of the mill 1n914's. I don't see any reason to change them. everything is sounding great so I'm leaving well enough alone. full face decal over green etching primer.

Yeah very nice build mate. It reminds me of a catalinbread pedal for some reason.

I also built a green russian recently (can't post pics cos my cameras bust  >:() and noticed that it doesn't really need much tweaking. Stook all kinds of clipping diodes in but think Im just gonna stick with 1N4148's.

I like the art too. I recognise the coat of arms but I am not sure where from!

it's a Russian eagle. symbol of the Romanov dynasty. I put the schematic symbol for transistor in the shield.

Great decal design!! I especially like the transistor symbol in the shield, which looks almost 3d in the picture. The mids knob is a great addition and I'm gonna continue to add it to all the muffs I build for now. Im trying to remember, you changed R18 to 3.3K?

I think I changed it to 12k, but don't hold me to it.

Gorgeous.  If it sounds as good as you say, I wouldn't mind building one and selling my big old bulbous green muff pi.  Great job
