I wasn't familiar with Basic Audio but it does look sorta like some of his builds after checking them out.

Many sources recommended a Q3c voltage of ~4.5 although I read the originals where higher. I started at 4.5 and went up from there and started finding it sounding good at about 5.7v. I will still continue to bias it at louder volumes so we will see where I end up. What Q3c bias was the originals at?

Basically mine gets more raw, raspy and more gated as the Q3c voltage is increased

Also, I may at some point play with Q2 bias but for now it is really sweet.
Yeah, I figured you'd read the 4.5V Q3c thing, that comes from people assuming it's like a fuzz face and that's why I mentioned it being low, originals were more in the 7.2V range or higher IIRC, not to say that's the magic number for everyone.

Somewhere on D*A*M there's a list of original unit voltages (and I think transistor gains and leakages) which are suprising.

Pretty clean, like the long leads on the OC's!
