Re: Dunlop - Eric Johnson Signature Fuzz Face EJF1 [traced]

Interesting discussion here! Hey, where does one find those big yellow AD .01 uF film capacitors, chicklet type? I have done searches for those but nada... oh and would a vishay Roederstein film cap work as well? The caps are PHILIPS, for sale here: http://www.ebay.es/itm/1-PC-Philips-341-Capacitor...

Re: Emerson Custom Guitars E-M Drive. [traced]

I've tried connecting 2M resistor like in Rugeb's schematic and tried BS170 and MPSA18 like he suggested. To me, the circuit became much more clean and it doesn't distort much at the maxed gain settings. I guess this can be an improvement if you are looking for super clean boost. But I'm looking fo...

I've tried with BS170 (MOSFET) has worked well, sounds good too: RECOMMENDED!

Re: Emerson Custom Guitars E-M Drive. [traced]

I think the circuit need a high gain transistor (MPSA18: Hfe=900)

Very important the pots value!!

IMPROVEMENT: resistor R2 connected over collector-base and Q1=MPSA18: sounds very good!
