Gutshot? No problems with Faraday?

I had a PCB board bassed fuzz in there but it looked so lame in that big ol' hubcap that I'm yanking it out and going with Turret board. I'l post some pics of that when I get er' done.

Thanks

I'm digging the Fuzz Cap. Looks killer. :tu: Gotta love it when you score a cool enclosure for a buck.

Looks like we are neighbors. I'm down in Portland. :cheers:

Back in Septober or Octember I built a pedal housing a Rangemaster and a BuzzAround
with a rotary switch to flip the order of the FX. They were both Positive+ ground so it
seemed like a worthy task.

The result was much greater than the sum of their respective parts! The only amp it
doesn't completely "goose" in a wonderful way is my '62 Bassman 6G6-B. From SE types
to Komet and Express types this little guy punishes.

The AC125s weren't the final choice. I swung with NKT275s as I couldn't source any NKT213s. According to
Scotty (who has had 3 Burns BA pedals) The NKT275 doesn't sound any different and it was a better
grade xistor than the NKT213. YMMV

I knew someone would ask for MK1 guts :) It's actually not done yet. The case and circuit board are done waiting for wiring and transistors. I'm still testing transistors on the breadboard. I might have some OC75's and 2G381's coming soon. Hopefully I'll get some good ones. I can't wait to get it done. Even on the breadboard it's totally Mick Ronson. :headbanger:

Here are some guts:
