Just noticed that I uploaded the wrong version, which was missing a cut at H7 and Depth 1 should be Depth 3. Sorry about that.

Nice job, thanks for sharing

Holy Syd Barrett!!!



Going in my collection!  Thanks!

Have you tried building this yet?

[HarmRazorback]

Yes, I have built this one.

What are the values of Q1-Q3?  2N2613?  Any PNP Germs > 120 hfe?

[rocket88]

what kind of switch? spst?

[HarmRazorback]

I used 50 hfe Russian MN39B PNP germs, because I do not have any 2N2613 (as used in the original). So just socket the germs and experiment with different ones. In other builts I have used combinations of different types, because sometimes that sounds better. Even if the schematic specifies only one type.

[HarmRazorback]

Yes, spst or spdt with switch 3 not connected.

Actually the switch is used to enable or disable a modification (C4 to Ground) to the original schematic.

[rocket88]

awesome. thanks buddy.

This circuit is based on the Maestro FZ-1, so selecting transistors should follow similar logic

In fact, I recently got a Maestro FZ-1A, and the transistors are 2N2614 (it sounds really good too). So searching for transistor info on the FZ-1 and FZ-1A should be helpful with this less documented circuit
