Zombii -- in a 125B on perf

[alanp]

So, I wanted a Zombii. I didn't want to bother Keefe for just one board, seemed a waste, though. And I didn't want to get a fabbed one for such a simple circuit.

So I decided to make life difficult for myself.



This is how I wired it -- a mix of point to point on the pot lugs, and perf for the transistors plus other components. I do not recommend this.



I can recommend the transistors, though -- a tested pair from Fuzziebro in Dunedin, two AC188's tested at 100 hfe each, low leakage. I also got a bunch of AC187's in those groovy metal box things as well, gonna test 'em in the Cosmo when I get the chance.

Quite a neat little circuit, this. Not as insane as reports of other zombii's and FF's I've heard of, but it's still a very nice fuzz The stab adds a nice drone in some parts of the rotation, sounds a bit like a pedal note.

Wow at the wires and such! Nicely executed. My guitar player loves the one I built, with it's crazy oscillations. I used an 80 in the first and like a 130 in the second if memory serves. Got them from Chromesphere. Thinking of trying one on vero myself.
