First boxing shenenigans of the year, here we have a Foxx Tone Machine. I did use 2n5088 transistors with around 420 Hfe as the type of transistor apparently has not too much bearing on sound as long as it's around 400+ Hfe.
I did match the octave diodes out of a bunch of BAT46 and they sound great to me, lots of octave responsiveness and coverage over different neck positions.
It's a beastly beast.

Crystaline Octodrive is a two in one banger. 'Sir' Chuck on pedalpcb forum helped me with his enlightened advice on this, cheers man. Legend.
The lower switch selects a 'Chuck version' of EQD Chrysalis, nice low to mid gain OD. Switch up and we get some Roger Mayer Octavia madness with added tone control, thanks again to Chuck's musings.
Rippin' fuzz and unruly (in a good seventy-ish way) Octave Fuzz.
The Hi/lo switch adds 9 to 18V selectable charge pump and that's great on both circuits, the octave really behaves quite differently on 18V and is probably my favourite on first impression on that higher voltage. The Chrysalis OD gets a good more punch.
Nice pedal it turned out.
In a recycled enclosure, that's the reason for black spray paint inside and the LED position being a bit off. It's all goovy though.

love everything about these, and you knw how I feel about blacked out inner enclosures. Great work cooder. BTW, where do you get your pcbs done?
Cheers Chris.
I get the boards done here, so far good experience and service, no complaints at all. https://jlcpcb.com/ (https://jlcpcb.com/)

I'm glad those get you aroused even though there's not a phaser inside. ;)
Round of a applause from the midwest! I always love your builds and your board layouts, top shelf.
Layout skillz are off the charts! love these.
