  1. I think you can tag this one. It might be a monster. It's late where I am so just testing through my little teal honeytone, but it cooks. I haven't even touched the bias and it rawks. I'll follow up if I find any issues. Used AC125's. Thanks for the layout as always Prince fuzzhead.

    1. It's pretty, pretty, pretty good. I'd say that this seems to be tailored to your taste, for sure. Bender/Buzzaround with added tonal and noisy features. Bit of a scooped leaky sound. Very Skreddy vibes actually.
      Range seems to be Fuzz
      Signal is obviously your Level
      Calibrate and Scan effect the tone of the fuzz.
      The switch effects overall bass response.
      Drift sends it into oscillation and all of the controls are interactive.

    3. Someone recommended the Sputnik II a long time ago but I can never find those damn transformers that you seems to find so effortlessly.

  3. Q1 wants a lower gain transistor. I used a lower gain AC128. I used a D9J because I wanted something soviet in there. And it worked better than a D9K. Scan effects the tone some but it is meant to tune the Drift function. I like this one. I'll have to check out more Spaceman stuff.
