Title: Silicon Fuzzrite
Post by: cajone5 on February 09, 2013, 04:32:36 PM
Built up another one of these -- this one in white.

Orange drop caps, carbon comp resistors, KSP42 and 2n4401 transistors.  Sounds killer.

Those are BIG caps. I like the knobs on this build especially.

Yes -- gotta have a voltage factor of safety of about 50 on the caps if you're gonna make a good fuzz  ;D
