Here ya go, guys:

Pretty cool fucking pedal.

Broken, though..

This is the start of this thread for the Mosrite Fuzzrite cause we don´t have one.

A few years ago I posted the actual hfe of Q1-Q4 from a 1974 Rams Bead Big Muff with FS36999 transistors as measured using a Peak DCA55. They were: Q4: 163, Q3: 214, Q2: 171, Q1: 160.

Since that time I've worked on three more pre-1975 Rams Head Big muffs. Two had FS36999 trannys and one had 2N5133 trannys. Guess what...they all measured less than 200 hfe, lol. The one with 2N5133 trannys were as follows: Q4: 132, Q3: 117, Q2: 145, Q1: 128. I also noticed Kit Rae posted some of his own...

Anyone know anything about this ?

Looks like this thread got lost during the great downtime? Just a quick recap:

These are essentially rackmount versions of the Ibanez stompboxes of the 808/9/10 era (although many of them are subtly to very different) including an MN3007 based flanger and chorus and MN3005 based delay (at least by the AD9 days the Ibanez delay was 3205 based IIRC). The problem is that, without the pedal, you can't engage the pedal in any sort of way, it just sits there...

I've looked at the schematic, but the...

Hello all
I used to own a EHX bad stone witch had only transistors (8?) and no IC. Sold it long ago....
It kept me wondering if they was a schematic of it somewhere and if other phasers where made like this with transistors and not ICs.

Has anybody got any pictures of the ADA Ampulator circuit boards? I have got the schematics but these do not include a pcb layout. Pcb layouts were included in the documents for the Microcab which I built several years ago and these were really helpful when I did my one channel version. amnwsgwnfzrxec0ke5dw.jpg

Semi-scoured the net but came up empty handed. Anyone have one? Thanks.

I found this on a Japanese web site. I'm pretty sure this is a Big Muff clone closely resembling this factory schematic: . I see at least one pair of clipping diodes and it looks like another hidden behind one of the electros. At least one electro is 1.0uF and at least one ceramic cap is 500pF. I'll bet the large greenies are 0.1uF. I did not check the resistor values. This pedal is made in Japan, according to the site, in 1970. Transistors are metal can Matsushita 2SC539 × 4.

GUT SHOTS:

I was just messing around on my breadboard a few days ago to try and build another Tone Bender MkII for myself with a load of 2N404's I received recently. I tried 10uf's like in the Marshall Supa Fuzz (another Tone Bender variant) in place of the 4.7uf caps and was blown away!! I was really surprised a few cap changes would make such a monster fuzz. Thick singing fuzz and sustains for days... I think I have a new favorite. Just wanted to share my joy. :D
