Post by: twin1965 on May 02, 2013, 03:28:41 PM
Pedal Parts Emporium's 'Fat Furry Freak' PCB. AKA: Woolly Mammoth Fuzz.

Double Flush using home made vactrol. Used blu-tack to fill the ends!

Ran-out of power sockets :(

After Life compressor. The black on the letters didn't come out too well. Cheap laser printer :(

Cherry Bomb. Still in need of knobs! This will be the first and last time I try and sand aluminium!

Played around with the transistors but you can never quite get rid of that fizz when the note decays. I think its part of this circuits character. I used a couple of BC109's for Q1 and Q2 and NOS 2N3565 for Q3. You can probably go mad with all the different combinations of transistors you can use but use your ears and go with what sounds best for you.

Was thinking the exact same thing. I love it.
