I also reworked the PCB so it will fit a 125C enclosure

Nice idea

Here's mine, I opted for an aluminium faceplate and a plywood enclosure

I just placed an order for these, gonna be a long wait for them to be fab'd

I've brought a kit from these guys  www.electrostaticmagic.co.uk

Only baked one so far but the results are way better than my attempts with an airbrush.

Looking good Juan.

So I'm working on a version of the no name flanger.  A few tweeks and the daughter board to sort before i get some boards fab'd

Would be SWEET if you could get it all on one board

It's easier if you aren't trying to squeeze it into a 1790NS

PMowdes, what enclosure is that for?

It's for a 1590D.  I was surprised by how much free space there was actually, once I had everything on the board.  The ring stinger was way more challenging than this to get all the control onboard.  I think i'm going to leave the daughter board as is.  I could probably squeeze everything on but is it really worth the extra hassle??

Our (deadendfx) version should be faithful to the original, i.e it runs +/-15V, has wave shape and has the expression pedal output.  I'm waiting for Dino to check over the design but alas he's been a busy bee lately.  The pedalpcb version looks interesting though, I might take a punt and build one.

I got my Hakko frm here  http://www.dancap.co.uk

It was the cheapest i could find it.  The dancap website is a bit crap and you have to pay by bank transfer but my iron arrived next day, no trouble at all.  And they have a good selection of tips

BTW, Pmowdes2. I think there might be an error in the Mr multis build doc. It says for the rotary switch 2 the auto/ rocker one, that the square,  pin number one goes to pins a,b,c and d on the rotary. But that didn't work for me. After poking around with a multimeter I seems that it should be pin 2 that goes to a,b,c and d. At least that's how it worked more me.

Thanks man, I'll open up mine when I get home and double check it against the schematic.

This is a cool build! I've been on the fence about whether to order this since DeadEnd has a gemini-based fuzz coming out soon too. Off to listen to more samples...

They are both very different beasts, the Fuzzimile (Gemini) is a Si/Ge Dual fuzz with a blend control.  The Laika (Sputnik) is an all Ge oscillating boostable fuzz, much more like a fuzz factory.  I have almost verified the Fuzzimile but I don't have any suitable Ge transistors (the Si side works a charm) , it will probably be a little while before they are up for sale.

I have a bunch of Russian germaniums that I'll never get around to using. If your interested I'll send you some if you pay the shipping. Not many over 100hfe though

That's very kind but I need a PNP around 130hfe, I've got a load but nothing tests that high, I might have to bite the bullet and pay for a tested single from somewhere

Cool. Thanks for the advice. I have about 20 j113. Im gonna see if I have 4 that match up and see if it works. If not I'll go down the 5952 or other route.

Now if I could only get my hands on a 1m wah pot

There's a link in the BOM for the wah pot

I built a prototype before Dino and I started Deadend FX, it worked but there were some niggles I wanted to iron out.  I've started work on a design with board mounted controls but we've been so busy that I've only managed to design the controls board.   Hopefully it won't be too much longer.

Mutronics are releasing a new version of it at NAMM by the way
