The amps are waybcool, but I am really digging that carpet and wallpaper.

Yorkshire.... it's a time warp....

Fuzzaliciously and kitty cute to the max!
Thanks by the way for posting those big box JumboTB values, I've built one as well and dig that too!

It's surprising just how few changes make such a big difference. For the gains we've found we prefer med gains in Q1-2 (around 300) and high in Q3 (500+). If you want it to be more B&M flavoured you go high in Q1-2 and med in 3 IIRC. Cleggy will remember what was suggested... (my memory is absolutely horrible on such things). I'll also get him to note the cap and resistor we have in parallel to switch between Fuzz Unit and Tonebender (which considering I only built it today, kinda backs up the memory thing...).

Oh yes I'd like more detailed info on that! I made a board for this myself that supports my pot positioning for top mounted switches, maybe I modify that layout to incorporate the switchable values... hmmm... sounds really worth it me reckons!
That layout has an adjustable pre-gain placed at input, quite useful too. More switches and tweakability?!?
Why not I'd say...



I've only used run of the mill BC550 so far, would be great to get some advice on your experience with thrannies then too, as far as Cleggy might have written it down or so.
Cheers!

What a nice group shot!
Drool....

Cheers Harry, cheers Corey!

Very very sweet drive indeed! Great demo! 

I don't know nothin' about that stuff but it looks like fun...

Great stuff! Really need to get me one of those! Or two...

Great stuff, food to hear! He'll keep ya busy for awhile...

Superb indeed!

Bang on.

My dad was bent over in utter agony, unable to move. An ambulance was called, I got in touch with my brother. Everyone arrived, they got him into the ambulance and me and my brother followed (mum in the ambulance). We could barely keep up...

Arrive at hospital, no triage, no nothing, straight through. Diagnosed with acute pancreatitis and dealt with. What that causes is all the organs in your body to inflame and apply pressure to the diaphragm, essentially making breathing difficult. He was put into intensive care on a respirator while the inflammation died down. We were told his chances of survival were 50/50. Over the next week we were called in twice when he took a turn for the worse. As he recovered he was moved out of ICU, he was finally given a morphine epidural for which he offered to marry the male nurse who gave it to him. Seeing your father tripping away merrily is a weird experience...

Anyhow. I owe my dad still being around to Pinderfields A&E. Simple as that. The system has a lot wrong with it, but it works and the people in it are fucking heroes as far as I'm concerned. When some entitled twat comes along and gives them shit because he had a fever and his arms hurt, but he's got a gig to go to, so they should see him now, it annoys me. When one of the Dr's from that unit explains how it works to him and he ignores his very polite and almost apologetic post, it annoys me more. When his wife bangs on about all the things that went wrong and how shit he was treated when it's very likely all fabrication, I start to get properly angry.

We do a lot wrong in the UK. But the NHS is something we're rightly proud of. It's not perfect, but it's genuinely a good thing. I've worked in it, I've seen the sort of legislative shit they have to put up with. Yet they soldier on being paid feck all money in the scheme of things doing what I consider to be one of the most righteous professions on the planet, simply because they care.

So I take it a little personally when some 'rock star' gives it some shit.

That's my rant over

That really sums it up perfectly.
My partner works in the Nelson hospital lab, doing blood tests and all that stufff that's necessary for operations and A+E etc, she works nightshifts and all the lot.
Tough stuff making the right decisions behind the scenes at 3 am in the morning to keep A+E going where lives depend on it.
I couldn't do it. She's amazing too.

Thanks guys!

So, can you stack them, or is it an either-or type setup?
Looks awesome! Love the swirl stuff.

It's either/or setup.

Looks like a version of a Roger Mayer UniVibe similar to this, although the one in this video has more controls

Very nice and clean, Pryde! Great build!
The latest incarnation of Zendrive made under lovepedal contains apparewntly the NE 5532 chip, not I know if it makes much audible difference if at all or if it's just a choice of being cheaper.
So far I've had the AD712 in mine as well and dig that too.

Thanks guys!
Also pleased because this was a previously mis-drilled enclosure that has been sitting around for ages.
This just worked out after a bit of re-drilling.
The Two circuits complement each other reasonanbly well I think, the Black Cat OD-1 overdrive and distortion with a bit of fuzzy flavour, quite nice for such a simple circuit, and then the Jumbo TB goes of course the whole hog further into Fuzz.
