Now there is an Si fuzz face type circuit (axis face III) that sounds very similar to a Ge version is it possible to get a Si rangemaster type device that sounds as good as a Ge one? I have built several treble boosters but the one I always use live is the Ge version as it sounds so much better des...

Has anyone had good luck with the laser printer decal material? I just tried to use it and when I lacquered my box, the lacquer didn't want to coat the decal very well. Specifically, on the laser toner material on the decal.

Well.....here goes nothing. I got the DS-1 mod file and found out I had the wrong chip for the mod. Well..... I only paid $10 for the pedal at a pawn shop.... so what have I got to lose??? I sat down and compared the circuit I had to the schematics. I found out that they aren't that far off. The ma...

I need to buy the transistors in the Axis Fuzz Si article but I don't have a credit card and small bear doesn't sell them. Does anyone have a couple of each that they would sell me via paypal?

I have some MPSA12 and I´ve wondered, where I can use them, because they have gain about 20 000. So where can I use those darlington craps??? Any suggestions???

Hi! I´ve been searching a Fulltone 69´ pedal schematic for a long time and I haven´t found it anywhere. Can somebody help me and perhaps tell a link to that schem?

Hey Phillip, I think that it's really cool that you went through all the trouble to get those axial capacitors for your FuzzFace, do they make any difference at all on the sound though?

So for my tenth grade science fair project, I decided to build a Ge Fuzz Face. I havent ever don anythig like this and I don't know much about electronics. I'm a 15 year old with a soldering iron and some ambition. Anyways my goal is to kind of just follow the directions peice everythin together and...

Looks like Mouser doesn't stock the 500K CDS photocell listed for use in the 4ms Tremulus Lune project. Any suggestions on a replacement or a different source? Thanks.

Has anyone here built the compressor as posted on Phillips website? If so (or if you haven't but still want to help) please let me kn

ow, and I will post my situation in detail

Thanks in advance

I just built a couple of FuzzFace clones and I've got them set up to read appx.-4.5volts on Q2's collector but apparently I need to be concerned about the voltages in other areas of the circuit, or so I've been told anyway. The first fuzz has a pair of NKT275 Germanium transistors, I used GEO's gain tes...

I'm thinking of completely re-doing my pedalboard setup. New George-L's and all the bells and whistles. Right now, I'm running essentially 3 cables out of my board: signal to my amplifier, signal to channel switch, and DC power in. This time, I want to add a second channel...

I've built a GE PNP fuzz pedal following the scematics on the site. I've used the proper AC128 transistors but there have been some problems... The fuzz sound works, but the signal coming out of the amp is rather weak. I have to turn the volume right up on the amp before the the fuzz sound is audiable. An...

Phillip, I recently received an email from a friend of mine, who's knowledge I respect greatly. He has a 1967 Clyde McCoy wah pedal with all original parts and he listed the capacitors for me. This is what he wrote: 2-ducati 10,000pf 2-tropical fish capacitors 1-ducati go...

Anybody know of a good ABY circuit? Maybe something active and similar to a Whirlwind selector? I know that passive boxes (morley, rolls) can degrade the signal, at least to my ears. So, I was wondering if anyone has built an ABY that they like and would share the PCB with me. ...
