You can tag this one! sounds pretty much like the demos. I used BC546C and a B100K for starve, last 3 quarters of the rotation sound exactly the same to me - maybe a smaller value is more usefull. I like it! Thanks for the layout :)
So about a year ago I couldn't decide between the V1 and the Doom Bloom so I built them both and stuck them both in a BB (because I love torturing myself). Noisy as hell but great sounding. I rebuilt the whole mess to try to improve it a little and used Anders' layouts. I personally love these fuzzes but they're probably not for everyone. I did find that using a battery gave more ideal sound quality and reduced noise a tad.
Just revisiting this circuit, it seems like the 47n is a waste as it's just in parallel with the 100uf .. I looked at a couple other layouts and they all have this as well.
I have a marvelous Original from Fuzzhugger but I enjoy fooling around with this circuit. I have built that one and gave it to someone and they ended up going down a fuzz path..

ReplyDeleteCool! A 25k or 50k for Starve might work better for a more even sweep?
DeleteI'm still pretty new to non-PCB builds and have what's probably a dumb question. Where does starve lug 3 go?
ReplyDeleteI would guess it's left blank....
DeleteThanks, guess I should have realized it wouldn't hurt anything to leave it blank and then test it.

ReplyDeleteThe tagboardeffects version of the V1 is my favorite. It sounds better than the stock version imo.

DeleteThat's cool. Personally, mirosol's version sounds perfect. But it's one of my favorites. Good choice for tweaking.
