I just found this, don't know how it correlates though...

Lot's more here, inc the vox distortion booster you fixed up for me.

Those are for PCBs, I build using stripboard which is a different technique and uses a different layout, so you often have to design them if there aren't any available.

There aren't for the two circuits I posted above, I know benecol might be interested.

Very nice! I've started my green muff now, so if my layout is teh wrong I'll just use the bits to make yours

I've just made a really compact Harmonic Percolator layout, so if that works will definately post it...

Bless your heart, Mike, I really appreciate that. Just cleared out the garage and made a solder station, ready to start the make-and-do.

Nice one, would be interested.

No probs, benecolTim. Had to do something to occupy my mind before my race.

Is it easier for people who don't know anything about soldering?

Not really, it's probably more complex. A PCB that is ready made for you is the simplest (but more expensive) solution.

I maded one too!

I used this layout. Mike, have you tried any different transistors in your muffs?

Yeah, allsorts. 2n3904s, BC108s.. all that jazz.

Looks like you're starting a pedal empire there...

Lol those are gonna be mxr dist pluses with green ringers on 'em. I believe there's a market for crap like this.

My mate wants the green muff to sound EXACTLY like his, so I can forsee myself having to swap components til it sounds right... if it doesn't already.

I think you'll probably be surprised, but socket the diodes aswell in case you're worried. I can't see you having to mess with anything but trannies and diodes.
