Title: Big Cheese Ball
Post by: madbean on November 05, 2019, 07:32:00 AM
I needed a bit of distraction the last few days so I allowed myself to do something fun and just for me. Hence, the Sacred Cow - a Big Cheese/Cheeseball fuzzorama.

This thing sounds pretty wicked. First time building one. I made two mistakes on the design. 1) The rotary switch was supposed to attach via straight pin headers but I put the pins about 1mm or so too close so I had to wire it. 2) I forgot to connect the C & E pins of the 2n3904 for the weirdo clipping this thing has. Both were easy fixes. Overall it sounds delicious. Lots of fuzz to wall of fuzz. Too much output, so I think I will swap the volume pot for 100kA to get a little more in-line resistance and tame it. Otherwise definitely a worthy build.

I won't be selling these. But, don't be surprised if this shows up as a future giveaway board.

I will give away two of the spares I have right now. If you are in the US, post here and I will send you one. Just two to give away for now, though. So don't keep posting after the two are gone asking for another one, haha. I know you guys will anyway, though, so it's all good.


Kudos to Dan Coggins on his most excellent fuzzball.

Does DPO count as in the US?

I'm down for one. Seems like a fun build. Hope the distraction has helped through this rough time, Brian.

I'd be down to build one, if you have one left?

I like the label for the rotary switch.  :D
