Catalinbread Silver Kiss Mk.2

 Schematic is avaiable HERE.

Note that the 4,7uF caps is per original Silver Kiss spec. The 1uF film caps is suggested by Aion Fx as replacements.

  1. Looks good! Funny, I was just searching for something like that at the moment. (TS with a FMV-EQ, the Timmy just didn´t sound right)) I´m gonna build it...but with asymmetric clipping, I guess.

  2. Only thing I see missing are the 1u caps (C5 and C11 on the schematic) in parallel with the 4.7u coupling caps. Not convinced they'd change the tone significantly, but can't tell without trying first, eh?

  3. Just built it. Please tag it! Everything works as expected. The tone knobs tonify, though I wouldn’t mind more bass. The circuits got a lot of gain and can get pretty distorted but not over the top. Tonally, there’s a boost in upper mids that would help the guitar stand out in a live setting. I think it’s a keeper. Thank you Fuzz Head!!!

  4. Verified here as well. First time I built asymmetrical clipping with different diodes, works great!
    Wouldn´t mind a bit more volume on this one but the rest is working just great. Thanks for the layout, Anders!

    1. Eh? Which ones? I just checked this particular post on 2 different machines, 2 different browsers, and could both see the enlarged layout pic and click through to the schematic PDF, no problem.
