Wolfshirt and Grapevine....

[B_of_H]

I had the grapevine laying around unboxed and I had an extra yellow blem 125 so I through it in there.  The wolfshirt is in a mammoth 1590 box.  (waiting on delivery of transistors still for it so I threw in some bc109s for now, not nearly enough dirt though)  I'm not really into spending too much time making things look pretty but this is about as far as I go with DIY projects.  I might add a trim to ground on the octave switch when the octave is off to make the volume output the same when used as a fuzz only.

Nice!! love the sparkly paint job!
Whats the little board you have solder to the 3PDT??

It looks like one of these.

yeah, it's from small bear.

The smallbear link above returned nothing.

I am also curious about it: what is it, and what is its function?

It's just to make wiring up the switch easier.  But I find I don't really save much time with it.  It does make the wiring a little neater though..

Nice builds B of H!

just got the 3565's and...sound is great but max volume is just a tad less than unity (wolfshirt).  


it seems like the volume is low coming off the tone pot, both lugs 1 and 3 are pretty loud but there is a drop in volume on lug 2.  I found this thread:

I tested every resistor on this one and used all the right caps etc...all the polarized caps are correct etc...

Ah, it all makes sense now. Thanks. Before I thought it might be some sort of special or different brand of stomp switch. I can see the utility of this device, though it adds to the cost.

'PC Wiring Board For 3PDT Switch'

Thanks, Dude!

[B_of_H]

the reason i'm using those pc boards from small bear is that I bought some 3pdt's that have tiny little lugs that are barely big enough for a 24 gauge wire...so small I haven't even tried.

What do you think of the Grapevine so far? I'm thinking of building one of these next.

I like it but I prefer the OCD which is a little more articulate at higher gain IMO. 

i've actually built two, one was on veroboard though.

Mammoth also now carries those pc wiring boards--I threw a few into my recent order.
