Damn it, I was trying.... on the bench now but glad to know its verified. Thank you for all these Dunwich layouts. Im a BIG fan of Dunwich. They care about Bass players.
I wanted to audition the sounds before I got my switch so I just connected a wire from "Switch A" to gain pot #3. That gives you the bassiest setting, and then you can try other smaller caps in between.
Anyone get this going with anything other than 2N5458 in Q2/3? I've tried with some usual suspects and something sounds off and the gain isn't great. I've checked everything pretty close, so I'm thinking my JFets aren't cutting it which is what my probe is telling me too.
I got it fired up with MPF102.. It's just a Mu amp so I'm kind of thinking a lot of stuff should work maybe? My signal went to shit there because I has a 100k emitter resistor on Q6 instead of 100 ohm oops .
Got mine fired up right off the bat, but also experiencing gain issues. Only getting signal at 75-100% on the gain, but sounds good as all get out even at low gain.
Gonna sub the 2n5458’s with some j201’s or 2n5457’s and see if improves.
got mine 100% with some J201's in the Q2 and Q3 position, loving this pedal. Really good bridge and neck pickup balance for a primary fuzz tone. This one is definitely staying on my board
Now verified! Heavy fuzz in spades.

ReplyDeleteLove dunwich, Always wanted to buy this pedal but never did.
ReplyDeleteAnyway - is really all the rotary switches necesarry? For you guys that have built it.
Or would anyone suggest to drop it down to 6?

DeleteI would stay with the 1p12t rotary as shown. It’s a great sounding circuit.

ReplyDeleteHello, i try with 2N5457 and J201, i don't have gain's problem but it squeal a lot compare to 2N5458.
