I built one using a vero-layout from a dutch forum. Turned out quite good, as far as I can tell it sounds exactly like the original: gated, synthy fuzz. As karter2000 mentioned, the transistors are important. I experimented with different transistors for Q2 but in the end I settled on the...

Thanks for the bands/number! I did buy the the pcb and it was great to work with. After payment you receive a link with additional information and a few possible mods. The build actually convinced me to try my hand at etching my next prints. Vero is quite alright but pcb went a lot smoother! If...

I'd like to join the club if my very limited experience so far is enough to qualify! The PSU works great so far. I actually share your concerns about working with AC, so I went for a bit of a intermediate solution: the AMZ PSU: http://www.muzique.com/power.htm So far, there has been...

Great to see some DIY-lovin' around here :)! I would also recommend using sockets but reading about the static electricity when using them, I'd better start being a little more careful with future builds. So far, I haven't encountered any trouble though. I only recently came across the...
