i based the layout on this http://www.aronnelson.com/gallery/main.php/v/DRAGONFLY-LAYOUTS_0/album18/album144/SILICON_FF_VERO_001.gif.html?g2_imageViewsIndex=1 but with a 10k resistor before C1, a 10k trimmer instead of R3, a 100pf cap between the collectors of q1 and q2, bc108 q1 and 2n2222a as q2 a...

hey phil, good to have you here.

you need to get the signal in/out from the board, take the led out of the original equation and rig it just for 3pdt, and find the board ground and board live. then you can use the 3pdt switch,

I was gonna suggest an Orange Tiny Terror and a 2x12 of some sort until I saw that your old amp is 150w. I'd suggest looking at something with only one channel though if you use a lot of fuzz pedals, no point having a gain channel really. That's why I like the TT. 150 watts solid state is not 150 w...

and i tried a few different trannies before choosing those, they seemed about the closest to the sound i wanted

Very nice sounding. Did you start off with a silicon Fuzz Face and just start tweaking? yeah, started as si fuzz face, but needed a 10k (i am guessin at the mo, i'll put up exactly what i did in a bit) resistor before the input cap to stop RF noise, smaller caps than usual, a cap between the collec...

quad reverb

i cut the solder with a dremel to remove some squire covers

spent ages dicking about with different value caps and transistors. finally settled on this. has an internal bias pot for Q2 but i was thinking about sticking it external for splutter sounds

So he has £220 total for guitar and amp, or £220 for the amp only? Really????????????????????? :? It'll be a lot easier to answer your question if you tell us what the question is. Oh, sorry. It was for Guitar and Amp and I was saying really to you saying getting a half-decent guitar and amp with...

i did a decent clip of the crunchbox in HD recently

the fuzz i have just made for myself doesn't sound a million miles from the boris tune. i'll demo it in a bit and if you want one i'll knock one up for €30

have you tried running the BB into the fuzz? or buy my crunchbox

[youtube][/youtube]

prob a fuzz of some kind. or maybe a boring overdrive.

i have used a 741 but i have socketed it, are there any others out there worth trying?

EMGs are ok, they just have a bad reputation for being a "metal" pickup - which they play on anyhow.

also: the high e string on it buzzes like a son of a bitch. can that be fixed pretty easy without jacking up the bridge or just putting big ass strings on it? I had some roundwound .011s on my Jaguar and had the same problem with the high E. So i slapped some flatwound .012s onnit and theres no mor...

prob a loose connection that needs resoldering

if it works when you are sat down it suggests something either to do with tension from a chord or wire, or something to do with proximity to the amp and related feedback/hum/interference which decreased when you are equal with or below it.
