Coolo, I love the minimal-as-fuck annotations and drill markings on the top, including the brief "250" moniker

input and output at top, minimal information, love it. if i could i would rebuild all the pedals i have myself and all make them like this, jack at the top, enough information on it for me alone, the end. no battery though, fuck some batteries

Very nice. It's addictive isn't it?

If you're looking for DC jacks for these, Rapid are in the UK and do them for Cheap.

yeah i have got them there before but i have an "i am an irresponsible cunt with money" electron card at the moment and they don't take it. very addictive though, trying out pedals which otherwise cost like Â£100.

hey chisa, what layout did you use for this?

....and do you have a spare IC you'd trade for some other components?

yeah, I have one, it just looked very different to yours which was why I asked.

.... no worries about the IC, I just figured it was worth asking.

one thing i did do which i remember is different was to use 1n4001 diodes as i believe these were used in the original early models

chisa, looking forward to the demo of the new version of the fuzz.

Understand the hit once you make your own though. Been dabbling a little recently as well

You'll be pleased to hear that the Electron card is being phased out by Visa (the bank I work for stopped issuing them a year ago) so chances are the next time your bank issues your card it should be a standard Visa Debit....
