Phil and I had this one tucked up our sleeve for a while. Thankfully, we didn't fuck it up. We seem to have been on a streak of stupid errors of late. This one fired right up, and all the silkscreening was correct too! Phew!
Triffid is the DEFX clone board of the Spaceman Nebula. This, so far in my Spaceman Effects adventures, is my absolute favorite fuzz so far. I mean... ever. This is a "desert island" unit. My Burny LP Special Black Beauty, this fuzz box, my L11 head, and a 2 x 12 cab loaded with Texas Heats. I'm good. Of course.... I'll need a generator, and an unlimited supply of gas too, but I digress...
And I've had a few comments on how I heatsink my germanium diodes, so here's a close up. For those of you that have drooled over Univox Superfuzz guts (the big cast units, early numbers), this will look familiar.
The Ge diodes are 1N118's, with a 1S1588 riding shotgun.
In "BITCH" mode, this thing has the craziest decay. Like your signal is being run through a phaser with a sore throat. Majestic.
