Title: PFUKR250
Post by: Bio77 on May 01, 2022, 07:52:22 PM
Here's my contribution for the upcoming DOD 250 sale to raise funds for Ukraine relief charities.  It's a gray spec (whatever that is) 250 with a couple of different clipping options.  I have symmetrical BAT 46s for a super compressed sound and a pair of 2N7000 MOSFETs for a softer clipping option.  This thing sounds amazing, I try to get a demo clip together later today. 

Thanks to David (storyboardist) for donating the PCBs  8)

That looks killer! Great job with the art and integrating the clipping mods. Glad you found a good combo. Looking forward to hearing it!

EDIT: are all three BAT46 diodes parallel?

Ah, yeah, now that you mention it, lol  ;D  That's the way I auditioned them, I guess it's not asymmetrical after all, but it sounds good.

Haha yep. Easy enough fix, but if it sounds good, no need!

Thanks everyone! 

As promised, a demo (Same one that was on Reverb).  I think it sounds pretty killer.  I want to revisit this circuit soon, it's a great one to breadboard. 

It's not me playing, it's a friend of mine.  I think using a friend has been a lot easier for me.  I always stress out way too much trying figure out what to play for demos. Also, it frees me up to twiddle knobs.

Facts. The skull with LED bypass indicators for eyes in particular really does it for me, and it doesn't hurt that it sounds amazing!
