Oh his use of solder is very artistic- there's lots in some parts, none in others!

Why is he using those huge-ass Soviet paper-in-oil caps? Why does the back of the board look like barbed wire? Why are the pots mismatched and covered in resin? Why is the circuit board not secured? Why were the Greek Techno Triplets shaving eachother's backs in the bathroom last night?

!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?WHY GOD WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

You have to be a very special kind of person to actually give that to someone.

HOLY SHIT. that is all I can say. YUN lives somewhere near me in Dacula, Ga. I always keep my eye out when I'm in the area for him.

I can't for the life of me figure out how this works. There simply aren't enough resistors to bias the transistors.

You forgot to point out the bread board has a bit still hanging on that he forgot to cut off.

Did Yun create the DeLorean?

Looks OK from the outside...Shitty component inside...Everyone loves to talk about them... Coke was involved???

You can bias transistors like that with only two resistors. You don't know what they are. If they're pnp's and the scheme is negative grounding you wouldn't need a full bias arrangement. Plus it's a nasty fuzz as far as I know - since when has following the rules yielded nasty fuzztones?

Boutique.

Mad mojo, though, and yu can't even complain if it works fine.

Man, do I feel better about my "build cleanliness" or lack therof. At least its apparent that I know how to build.
