Re: Zvex - Fuzz Factory [traced]
"both will most likely work but I know the one I drew with black wires works fine" You mean the layout from page one of this thread that you carbon-copied part for part for some odd reason and now speak of as if you had designed? The original layout has been successfully build hundreds, pr...

Re: Zvex - Fuzz Factory [traced]
The pots will be placed exactly as the original. The idea is to mount the Vero vertically on the wall of the enclosure
What is the point this part-for-part redraw of my Vero layout on page one of this thread?
I asked months ago the drawer to contact me and take it down.

Re: futurlec value packs
Well quick scan - LM 339 is a comparator = usable LM324 is a quad opamp = usable CHN/UA741CN/K3A818 = generic 741 = usable NE555T HA17555/8E4 NE556N/GK9120NV are all timers = usable BC549 can sub for 5088,3904 etc BC548 can sub for same (check HFEs/datasheets) (B)C547B I think these MAY be sort-of m...

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
I want to say a big thank you to jrod in this thread.
We did a parts swap and he sent me a killer selection of trannies tp play with. Really helped after the rubbish that Gordelux burned me with.
Thank you buddy!

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
Excellent.
I emailed them but have not heard back.
Would be curious about the HFEs of the 404s. Did they nominate those values?

Re: A*ua P*ss pcb order - round 3?
What if maybe you did a new version that was reworked slightly to use the cheap V3205? Seems like a good way to do it to make it even easier for people to build them without having to scare up a 3005. That's a great idea.... :idea: "Build it and they will come" (field of dreams) Ok, you d...

I am OK for Aqua Pi in this lifetime but I would love the Ad-80!

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
Yeah I have cruised their catalogue. They don't seem to have every 'letter type' for gain range. But hey, those prices!
Have you received your order from them?

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
I'll go search that out. The peak would definitely show the presence of a shunt resistor so that's out. The only other factor I can think of is HFE significantly rising with current? I have a near genetic dislike of being ripped off. This guy just pushes my buttons with his lying-attack style of def...

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
So he keeps suggesting I have faulty equipment or calculations. Because finest Russian military construction 1T308 only ever produce HFE minimum 80 blah blah. I sent him this. Typical pissweak HFE. Wonder what will he say this time. I am still on this prick. I think you are supposed to give up after...

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
Yes his "HFE80" bag had red dots and the a "HFE120+" lot had grey dots.
The actual HFEs were in no way related to his sorting. They were as above and pretty evenly mixed grey/red at all levels.

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
Oh BTW "kindergarten jigger" is his take on R.G.s method.... Seeing as dickhead 'personally selected' them, he must have 'personally selected' the dead ones I received too. I think this must be some kind of standard response he sends to everyone who complains about the low HFEs. He is just...

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
Yeah. I think he's relying on the alleged data sheets. Thing is, I emailed him before buying and he assured me he could provide specific gain ranges. Naturally I nominated two groups : ~ HFE 60-80 and HFE120. His answer: " Please buy. All the transistors that you have listed I have in large qua...

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
Same problem here: Ordered 150 trannies from the same seller (Gains 40-50 and 50-60 mainly), I was disappointed too, but they sound really good; I thin, that I've read somewhere, that those trannies have somewhere an internal resistance, which makes the hfe look smaller, than it actually is; How di...

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
Thanks guys. Still back and forth with the emails... he is such difficult person - no concept of reputation or repeat business. I would have been happy to a be an ongoing customer if this guy had fixed the problem. I chose him out of about three potential sellers, mostly because of the photo of him ...

Re: Russian germaniums gt308/ gt404 - low HFEs
Yeah.
I am in the middle of negotiating with that ass-hat right now, so i want to grab the experiences of others.
And warn people away.
The turd won't believe my readings.
Says it's "impossible" .
No more fine western dollars for him.
