  1. Hadn’t heard of this one. Sound demos sound rad.

  2. Hello
    I have a small question concerning the types of potentiometers referenced on your layouts. when it's noted B, does that mean linear, and similarly for A, does it mean logarithmic? the reason is that standards are not the same depending on the country, and A / B can be reversed! Of course C is antilog, which seems obvious to me!
    Thanks

    1. Yup, A-log, B-linear, C-reverse log

    2. Don’t forget about the confusing W taper. First half of the pot functions as a reverse log(C) pot, second half functions as a regular log(A) pot?

  4. if im reading the schematic correct :
    push3-->d1
    q3 e -->vcc
    q3 c needs 1k to ground

  5. The 1k is right there B13-16, it has a link leading down to row I, then another link from I to ground? It’s kinda hard to see since it’s transparent & over a cut?

    1. that 1k needs to go to q4 not q8 ( b16 is q8)

    3. i think im wrong cause that link is ground again like i said so confusing this one lol

    4. Q4 & 8 emitters go to ground tho? I agree, it’s a tricky one!

  6. The layout is updated since there was a missing resistor across the base and collector at Q8.

  7. push 2 needs to move to row A. I built this up last night but it didn’t fire up right away. I’m working now then off to Kurt Elling concert. I saw Charlie Hunter last month. If you’re in Europe you can see them together later this year. I’ll check back in tomorrow on this circuit and the concert.

  8. Q4 Missing 1k collector resistor, it’ll fit nicely G-J16. I wish I was home to test it!

    1. Tag it! Works with changes noted. Sick and disgusting, just like the demos. Thanks Anders!

    2. I’ll box this one up, for sure! And: Kurt Elling! What a show, SOPAC, S.Orange, NJ!

  9. lol after "altering" the original board I cut and made I can also confirm these fixes work. and it sounds raw and nasty in a great way.
