[MaxMotion]

Hello Forum,

i have builded the Tydewadd on this Verolayout:

...but it does not work!

The Resistors and Caps are right. On the Transistors I am not sure. I have taken two 2N5088. Is this right?

I used the Search but have not found anything!

Please help me!

Greetings from Germany.

Hi,

I have got another Question: Which Diodes are good for the Tytewadd?

Thanks

[jmusser]

He's calling for Si (silicon) diodes, and that's usually 1N4148s or 1N914s. Out of the gobs of circuits I've made of Tim's, i've never made that one. Let me know how it sounds.

Jeff, it's another "classic"  !! a fantastic little OD/Fuzz 
Well done Tim !
( I used 1N4148 )

How can it be both OD and fuzz

PS Woops, that kinda sounded like a "harsh snobby" question  .  i in no way intended that, man  . 

[MartyMart]

No probs, it has a good range from "kind of overdrive" through fuzz
IMO

Oooooh okay.  Hello, my name is Yun; aparently- me and earth have not met

Yea Yun, there are a several circuits out there that either by turning down the effects gain, or your guitar's volume knob that's driving the circuit, you can get boost, overdrive, and fuzz out of the same circuit. No, they're not perfectly individual, but not bad either.
