When I hit 25k, Dino, I'll have to throw some kind of shindig. But something on the down-low so my wife won't know. Otherwise, she'll say "25
thousand posts?
That's what you were wasting all that time on, when the ceiling in the kitchen needs repairing and the patio stones are all wobbly?"
I think the Double Beat fuzz section is great, with or without an accompanying wah. I intend to "waste" a 1590B on one. And, as noted, you don't have to restrict yourself to the three "personalities" shown. For instance, midscoops, different "thick" settings, and so on.
The 330k is full bandwidth. The 150k/250pf is a thin reedy sound that lops off the bottom and adjusts level to compensate. The 150k/6n8/6n8 network yields a smoother sound by lopping the top and some of the bottom. Okay, what about 220k with 3300pf to ground? What about 220k and a diode pair to ground? and so on. The possibilities are endless. Think of them like 6 favourite EQ presets.
I made one for this 12-distortions-in-one rack unit that still needs some finishing touches (or else I'd demo it), and quite like it. If I hadn't packed in the mods on the perfed board so tightly, I'd reach over right now and read off what they are. But suffice to say, I can see a Ge diode pair in there.
The only caution I would offer is that, since some of the suggested or implied filters could involve components tied to ground, it's probably best to use a double-pole rotary switch to select personalities, so that only the components from the personality selected are in circuit.
Now, if you want to plug that into your favourite Cry Baby, you're cooking with gas.
And J, you will always be jmascis in my books, and no wannabe.
My own apologies for derailing. Just trying to put a bigger smile on your face, Dino.
