SonicVI Perf Board Muffs?
Would anybody be interested in Big Muff clones in the original '69-'70 perf board style? They wouldn't have the original high gain 2N5133's, but rather obtainable parts like lowish gain 5133/substitutes, 2N5088's or BC239s. I can do the circuit used in the original perf muffs that I dont ever see anybody copying, or triangle or rams head versions, or a hybrid. They would of course have all the high quality parts (Carbon comps, Mallory and Vishay caps, CTS pots, switchcraft jacks, Carling switches). I know there's a crap ton of muffs out there now, so I thought I'd just put a feeler out there before shelling out for parts. Price would be in the $175-200 ballpark plus shipping.

Put me down for one. Sold my only two originals several years back, but I'm regretting it now. I would actually prefer one with the original .68µF caps and 27k tone resistors, this schematic:

Re: SonicVI Perf Board Muffs?
I'm doing them just a bit different from that schematic, but I can do it exact apart from the 430K feedback resistors, which I don't have. They'll be 470K.

Re: SonicVI Perf Board Muffs?
I'm only doing 5 of these because I only have enough of that diagonal offset perfboard for that many and have no idea where to get more. At this point these are all now tentatively spoken for.

Sorry these are taking so long. I just started a new job last week and have been really busy. Trying to get them done soon!
