Used AC176 in Q1, 1N4148 in D1, OA70 in D2, a totally unknown Ge diode (has a blue and green dot at one end and a blue line on a black case) in D3 and 2N5457s for Q2 and 3. Get some wonderful tones from this.

I just built one off a PCB I bought from Jon and it is FANTASTIC. I boxed it together with his Fallstaff boost in a 1590bb and had a jam session just with Strat->Fallstaff->Clipper Ship->Traynor YCV20 and it was an absolute blast. I'm going to build one from this vero layout to have a 1590B on the pedalboard as well. I'll let you know once I've verified!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03111918981135364343noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-88795504258931853842013-09-09T21:26:22.796+01:002013-09-09T21:26:22.796+01:00YEESSSS! you are playing the replacements!YEESSSS! you are playing the replacements!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902942293687051882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-26749741624596880422013-09-09T21:25:19.624+01:002013-09-09T21:25:19.624+01:00YEESSSS! you are playing the replacements!YEESSSS! you are playing the replacements!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902942293687051882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-62099759974983960462013-08-07T02:23:49.200+01:002013-08-07T02:23:49.200+01:00This looks correct to me.

One should be right above D2, and the other should be underneath the 47k resistor.

I'm ...Sorry Jon, I just saw your comments then. I'm waiting for some russian germaniuns to show up but who knows when that will happen.... I might give this a go with the silicon Q1 and swap it around later if needed. Its a pity about the PNP. All my PNP germaniums are great and my NPNs are nasty bad, either high super high leakage or very low gain. They might make nice diodes though.<br />Cheers.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06398692084354522702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-41292189557007228472013-02-15T00:22:00.363+00:002013-02-15T00:22:00.363+00:00Well, I have no idea what was going on with my tes...Well, I have no idea what was going on with my test unit OR the breadboard last time, but in verifying the PCB tonight, I have confirmed that PNP will not in fact work. It passes signal -- amplified signal even -- but the gain control doesn't work and it just sounds misbiased.<br /><br />Rats! But I'm glad all is right with the world now. Sorry to anyone who tried to build it that way. :(<br /><br />Jeff: If you don't have any germanium, you can still use a silicon -- it just requires turning down the tone more in high gain settings to avoid the fizzies. Or hit me up on one of the forums or by e-mail and I can try to get a good tested Russian one to you.<br /><br />Here's the link to the build document with the current BOM.<br />https://docs.google.com/document/d/1dPlB8Lqn_a1A6Xpb3Lg-2cfTxGCLOkMfNUWALyGE3ZQ/edit<br /><br />-JonUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14580930476027372926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-18318390733425132252013-02-05T03:51:04.089+00:002013-02-05T03:51:04.089+00:00Thanks mate, I'll give it a go!
