Title: ZOMBII Built And Awesome
Post by: hozy31 on February 08, 2015, 06:31:46 PM
Hey all,

Just built the ZOMBII this weekend in my first proper etch to board project and my god that is a good pedal. Used 2N2222As instead of Ge's and it sounds amazing.

It's a nutcase isn't it? :) A million fuzz tones to be found in there, have fun twiddling those knobs! I've had many a :O "OMG..." moment with the zombii, stumbling across a particular combination that sounds kick ass.  Trains you to use your ears too.

Hey look! Theres my zombii right there :D

Yes it is a bit of a beast for such a simple circuit. Socketed the transistors so may try a few different Ge's in it as well.

I was just looking at some old boards I had and noticed I had this board. I had forgotten about it.

This inspires me to gather up the build docs and maybe put it together.

Whoot! Done!

Actually I had a touch of burn out last year so when I finished my Marshall 18w early last year I took a break. I'm getting the itch again though. I think I got burned out making the speaker and head cabs. I spent a ton of time on the wood. I know this sounds nuts but I said maybe I should actually play my guitar and amp I just built instead of building stuff  :o

Sorry for the hijack Hozy.
