Let's see your finished DIY projects!

Yea, I got some really nice through plate ones of those for free from mammoth a while back. I don't really like using them. The switches they came with have tiny lugs though so I have to for those pretty much.

Zippy for a Miles Davis fan.

[fuzzmax]

I dont think they save any time but they do cost money and they make it impossible to repair or change anything.

indeed.....i tried once and broke the switch (wich tought me about how they are made)!!

nice. very nice.

I'm a big fan of OC75. they sound so good. thats gotta be one amazing pedal. I have some black glass OC140 NPN coming in the mail. I cant wait.

[whoismarykelly]

OC140 are cool. Use them in boosters and fuzz faces. They're usually so low leakage that they just wont work in a tone bender.

Well aren't you fancy with your hammond enclosures

$1 more for something where Ill never get to the end of the build and find out the holes were only ever tapped halfway or were never tapped at all? Ill take it. I cant stand cheap enclosures that feel like crap when you try to assemble them at the end of a build.

Aaron Nelson is selling his left over oc140, they are all Hfe 400 to 700. devnul told me that his favorite vintage triangle muff had the gains in the 500 to 800 range. I still have the Hfe 350 japanese germ NPN from full custom. at $8 each I only got 3 OC140. its gonna be a bad ass germanium muff. EH never made a germ triangle muff (???) but the 2n5133 with proper gains are too hard to find. my 2n5133 are all bellow Hfe 350. I just dont know if I'm gonna do a flat mids tone knob or if thats not desirable for a triangle.

That's nuts! Is this a confirmed gain reading? And with that kind of gain comes
a high leakage generally.

I have no reason to doubt Dev but that seems very high.

I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of 2N5133 equipped vintage muffs has less than 300 if not
200 or less hfe in them. The reason you can't find high gain 2n5133 transistors is because they didn't typically
run that high. Especially over 300.

I've made versions of my Badlands fuzz, which is an all-germanium big muff with flat mids and loads of other tweaks, with OC141 and they sound awesome. You can essentially sub those transistors directly for silicons.

Another bass overdrive varient, this one has a bypassable Bax tone stack with switchable mids boost, and clean blend/boost.

How much is that thing, Rick?
