Title: Solar Flare Fuzz and Angle Grinder OD
Post by: cooder on January 05, 2022, 09:50:28 AM
First two builds of the year in the box, Solar Flare Fuzz is based on Sola Sound Hybrid Tonebender and yes it rips.
Since I don't have a stash of the original OC140 Germanium transistors I used a Russian MP38A which does a good version of peeling off the wallpaper effortlessly as well.
First two transistors are silicon BC 109C and BC 107 respectively.

Angle Grinder is a take on the discontinued EQD White Light Overdrive, has it's own thing going on.
Aimed for a bit of an utility type look here, grey powder coated Tayda UV printed enclosure.

Those look amazing!
I think I may have accidentally voided someone's warranty........ :(

Yep, I totally voided the warranty too!  ;) I've got a board for that hybrid TB as well that I just need a chance to build up. Like what you did with the White Light (BAT46 in place of the Ge I think?), and that Tayda gray looks classy.

Gorgeous, in and out! 

I really like your aesthetic on the UV print graphics in your recent builds.  I need to start using some more color.  It looks killer.

Yes they are BAT41, sounding good there. Cheers!

You are on a whole different level, making boards, killer graphics, relay bypass. You make better stuff than most big pedal companies!
