Title: Soda Meiser / GZ - Full Capacitance Edition
Post by: calciferspit on May 16, 2012, 02:10:09 PM
Because 'why not?!'.
Orange Drops, tranny switch for SM/GZ. Bought a parts kit and it came with crap caps and a cheap noisy tranny (not the good kind). I threw them out and used my Drops and NOS cantrans. This thing rips. It is dead quiet with a perfect natural gate and so much BASS, especially the GZ mode.  I've been tinkering with the SM and its derivatives for years and I've finally found MY perfect version. I know it looks like someone threw up green spaghetti in there. but I kinda improvised the fit.

it is a fabbed board for a Soda Meiser from devievers etsy store. the bom is on there. i subbed the caps for the same value of orange drop 716s. Needed to use both sides of the board to fit them. i ran the tranny cbe to the middle of a 3pdt on-on switch and put the SM and GZ trannys on each end. Switch the collector and emitter of the SM tranny and you have the Vintage Fuzz Master. i used NOS metal can trannys instead of the plastic original. i wired it up with madbeans general diagram. 125b box. 100ka pots. Ive seen schemes for this online but results and opinions vary. i just went to the source and got a fabbed board and put goodfun parts on it. but $30 + for a 10 component board means someone should "improve" the original for diy.
