Love it! Hows the lowrider sound?

How does the Pearl Octaver compare to like your Harm Synth? I like how you ran the wires under the PCB on that with them soldered in on top. I tried that on a Woolly Mammoth clone and it looks so neat that way, but the pinch knob isn't working :/ I think I just mixed up the pinch & eq pots but the eq seems to work normally.

Lets just hope you can still find the parts you need in SIP format, but yea, good idea I know they are getting harder to find.

Compared to the harmony synth...IDK. The harmony synth did so much MOAR. That being said, most people prob wouldn't be able to tell the difference between that, and the lowrider with a squarewave fuzz. That's one thing I will miss about the HSynth; that fuzz.
As for the wmammoth problem, what transistors are you using? Pretty sure Q1 should be low/med gain, or at least lower than Q2, or the pinch doesn't work right.

You definitely can't get as many in SIP as DIP, but there are still quite a few:

So the Pearl isn't very fuzzy?
Thanks for the info I hadn't heard about that. I used some 2N3904 and I didn't test them. I guess I got lucky on the last one because I just threw some in and it sounded fuckin sweet. Unfortunately I didnt socket them this time and it's already wired up so fixing it is gonna be a real pain in the ass.
