General Questions / 1n34a transistor from mammoth
December 19, 2012, 09:37:42 PM
Hi all.
When I did my last mammoth order I bought me some 1n34a diodes.
Problem is I did not get any diodes as you normally see them. I got some transistors labeled .2N 4403 120.
I know there are some tricks to be done with trannies so they can be used as a diode. But have you experienced something like this before when ordering from mammoth?
I tried to google the .2N 4403 120 transistors and did not really find anything that links to the use of them as a diode. Do you know any tricks regarding these?
Could be a wrongie from mammoth I suppose.

Congratulations on your move.
I bought a game of tones from you, in your store its the goat. It's really, really awesome. Might just be picking another one up along with the delay project you guys are working on.

Stamps and paint, that's simple. Cool.

I think I looks real nice and fit well the character of the rat pedal. Good job.

Hi Jon.

Thanks for your help.

Will order the parts and get this one together.

I have never heard a Klon or clone in real life. There's so much talk about it, really exited to try it out.

General Questions / Kingslayer opamp question.
November 22, 2012, 07:35:25 PM
Hi guys.

Im about to make an order from mammoth to get the parts for the kingslayer.

My question is if I can use the TL074CN instead of the TL074? They dont have any of the other suggested op amps and this was as colse i could get from mammoth. It seems as if the TL074CN is an JFET op amp.

HereĀ“s a link to the TL074CN:

Thanks for your help.

That looks real nice. Both external ind internal.
How'd you do the graphics? Looks like its been painted on or something.

Hey guys.
Thanks for your help. I have learned a bunch just by reading and snooping around here, before posting anything. This is indeed a great place to hang.

Paul what I really needed to know was how to do it in practice and learned how to do it. So no need to use your weekend-beer-time to make sketches and explanations;-) but thanks for the offer though.

Btw Paul.

I just saw that you were offering to send a 200pf. Thanks.  :) Guess I read a bit too fast at times.
But ill try something different. I have two 100 pfs at home.

It would either be the parallel thing, if its not too complex, or Ill just use another value.

Hi Paul.

I did try to look it up on the interweb, but the results are a lot of mathematical calculations. Not my strong side ???

The thing Im looking for is the practical execution. The math is much too complex for one that barely passed math in school ;)

But thanks man.

Ok guys.

I think I'm gonna go with a higher value.

Just for future reference, parallel is when you put two legs in one hole. Right? As opposed to put them after each other when teepee'ing.

Regarding the sonic difference in silvers and the ceramics, I sort of knew it. Just wanted to make shure and ask some who know something about it.

Thanks a bunch.

General Questions / Cherry bomb 200pf
November 04, 2012, 09:38:57 PM
Hi there.
I been lurking at the cherry bomb and think I'm gonna build one.

But I can't seem to find the 200pf (c4) anywhere.
Could I for a solution teepee two 100pf's together? Either silver micas or ceramics, where's the difference, if any, between the two?

Best,
Stig

I would love to grow a full beard. But at the age of 31 I'm only allowed a moustache by my body;-)
Don't know if I'll ever be able to grow a full beard. Would like one though.

That did it! Now it works!
I must say that this OD is nothing short of amazing. I have build the byoc OD2 and was not really in my taste, guess I'm not a tube screamer guy. But this is so much better.

Thanks for all of your help guys.
