It is a WILD sounding pedal—not sure if I went off course somewhere or not, but there's just an absurd amount of bass boost to this thing, right around 200/225.

I don't have BC184 to test and my 2N5088 have not enough HFE.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240402070823723888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-56439135114797651742016-11-10T09:11:20.012+00:002016-11-10T09:11:20.012+00:00Good looking enclosure.Good looking enclosure.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06594448358658335673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-83183828941403643852016-11-10T04:18:18.031+00:002016-11-10T04:18:18.031+00:00awesome. needed something good today. swapped the ...awesome. needed something good today. swapped the tone pot wires, and tagged it.Zachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00044917566185720896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-248769309883576572016-11-09T22:52:42.877+00:002016-11-09T22:52:42.877+00:00You can tag this one as verified, it works great w...You can tag this one as verified, it works great with 2N5088. I will test other to see if the sound will be better again. Only thing, tone pot is reversed, I just reverse lug 1 and 3 and it works in the usual way.<br /><br />http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9520625/20161109_233615.jpg<br /><br />http://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/9520625/20161109_233743.jpgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08240402070823723888noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-41872853515630196162016-09-08T02:49:02.061+01:002016-09-08T02:49:02.061+01:00Has anyone got this working?

I was using the fuzz dog schematic and a big muff layout as a template to work off, since the schematic looked similar; 4 stage.. I'm not getting what I expected, distortion wise; not much dirt at all. So I found out that the Fuzz War is simply this with a few component differences and also a modified violet ram's head. My layout is a but different than this but I swapped the input resistor of Q2 with the coupling cap before it. Gonna change that, I'm using 4X 5088s , 2X 1n34a a couple of old carbon comps and polarity protection. The transistors all seem to be working..gavinmacneilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12606273901578055404noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-39397463674999335002016-01-15T08:06:32.736+00:002016-01-15T08:06:32.736+00:00Can this circuit me modified to work with PNP germ...Can this circuit me modified to work with PNP germaniums?glasspak73https://www.blogger.com/profile/11792030395861982394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-71873307339087338282016-01-12T18:48:11.005+00:002016-01-12T18:48:11.005+00:00Anyone get one of these working yet?

They were very similar, but again, slight differences.<br /><br />The Jumbo Tonebender came later then the second version of the Supa Tonebender. Keep in mind many circuits are basically the same as another, but different value components.

The same circuit with larger coupling caps was the Colorsound Bass Fuzz. <br /><br />Colorsound made a 3-knob reissue in the 90's that used an IC with clipping diodes in the feedback path, sort of a stripped down Tube Screamer. <br /><br />This site already has layouts for all of these versions.
