This is just everything from the PCB, not the output switching section.
Ah, how I miss the breadboard! That looks like a lot of fun. Good on ya'

Quick little demo, just the fuzz section no output filtering! Need to get my head round the biasing!

got the output filtering up and running, drive switch adds volume and treble, edge switch adds treble, both together makes the thinnest fuzz sound ever! :smashed:
Also added a cap from the input to ground that i missed, takes a bit of the sizzly high end away.

here's another short vid...

Those who know me well, know that this is probably my all-time favourite model. Those that have indicated over the years that I need to STFU about the Project V, however, won't know that I have three(!!!) of the damn things :oldlol:

Behold, numbers 46, 103 and 983:

Nick, please post some sound clips comparing the three. Do they sound as awesome as they look?

Such an ace looking design. Need to ‘try’ and try one out.
