Re: Gray JMI Vox Wah c. 1967

Paco, who did the refab board in the very top picture? That's Stuart Castledine's work. www.wah-wah.co.uk Brad/Creepy Fingers built me a mean clone! "Thin whine" is a good description. lol. I really dig the wah tones Page got and I believe The Pretty Things used one on the S.F. Sorrow alb...

Tighter, thinner sweep. A lot less low end, more emphasis on high end and upper midrange. Page used one in The Yardbirds and the first couple Zeppelin albums. Also featured in the RAH '70 DVD.

Re: Germanium Transistors

According to Fuzz Central, Tone Bender MKIII uses a Darlington pair for Q1 and 2. Don't know what the gains are supposed to be though.

Re: 22 gauge pre tinned?

Found some at this site. http://www.bulkwire.com/ Haven't ordered any yet but plan to soon. Pretty good prices. I can't stand the Small Bear 24 gauge. I find it a pain in the ass to work with because it's so thin.

The 2M2 shouldn't be killing the highs. Can't offer any other advice.

which resistors did you change to adjust the bias?
The 2 "8K2" resistors.

Re: Sola Sound - Tone Bender Mark I (1965) [schematic]

i just build a vero MkI and i can't get any of my transistors to work (got a bunch of SBE Ge generics, AC128s, 102s, etc...) all i get is a high pitched oscillation with some fuzzing in the background :-( What's the gain and leakages measure out to? Sounds like too much leakage. I had the same prob...

Re: Germanium Transistors

Is .2-.3 considered too high for leakage? I found anything over .2 didn't work in my Tone Bender MKI, but am hoping my other transistors around .3 will work for other builds like MKII Tone Benders/Supa Fuzzes. :?
