Because if I play chords, or single notes it sounds super good but then if I let them sustain, suddenly the notes gate and stop very abrupt. Also when I play softly the notes can't get through.

But that made it pretty cool with bass, so it isn't that bad:)<br /><br />Currently there are 5 of the originals left. I'm not going to do reruns of my pedals. Ever. If someone wants to buy one, i don't mind :)<br /><br />If you like it, you all are welcome to build it. Mark's layout is basically "the factory layout" :) Just use radial tantalums (100µF is aluminum elko) and plastic box caps if you want it to be close to the original.<br />+mmirosolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400327798106357876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-54148514281467139772012-11-15T09:19:41.050+00:002012-11-15T09:19:41.050+00:00Miro, that's an awesome sounding fuzz.
