This layout is a treasure! The precise Kit Rae values... no anomalies like 470pF instead of 500pF :) No 2K resistor from Q4's E to GND, either, instead of "the" 2.7K :) ............ But it also strikes me that the layout is very much "inspired"... I mean, it was made in an inspired mood :) Totally elegant and original... For example: starting with Q1 at the bottom-left... and having Q2 at the top-left zone of the board... (not the bottom-right, following a "circular" logic... This is a very elegant layout... and -- meeting the standards that Kit Rae had established, which the Muffs totally deserve -- totally authentic :)
Hey, just a heads up: for some reason, I can't click on the layout image to bring up the larger version, like on the other layouts...
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up. Fixed the link.:-)
DeleteJust made this... (With traditional diodes though) sounds beautiful...bit more woolly and grainy than the other two muffs I built.

ReplyDeleteVery nice mate
DeleteHey Anders, do you know if the Russian transistor/diode version sounds any different to the usual 1N4148/5088 combo
