Darkroom Fuzz is a hybrid Germanium and Silicon Big Muff with LED clipping section. Housed in a 1940s darkroom timer. The Ge transistors are NPN NOS soviet made military grade!

here 'tis

what? an out-of-focus photo of my latest circuitboard project?? absolutely. my pleasure. this is a redux of the first circuit I tried to build on stripboard, the "Green Russian" Big Muff Pi. a couple items of note; here I used my new red mylar caps to great effect, and more importantly and excitingly, my small collection of tantalums came in use (the small round yellow things... all 1uF in this build replacing all polarized caps in the audio path). also outmoded 1N914 diodes for maximum uh,,, something. there's some originals going on eBay for about $400 right now..apt because these are a piece of history (read about it on Kit Rae's page)! but, I built a sound-a-like for just under ~$10 and just a couple hours of work. really, I cut, sanded, and stuffed the board in about an hour last night and finished some quick wiring in another small hour today, as seen below. just three pots and a tone switch and no debug necessary it's DONE. an ugly greenish box for it to go in, labeled 'the PIG':

those alligator clips are my new testing method; right now they are connected to a standard in/out/power jack setup in an otherwise empty enclosure, this allows me to quickly make the connections and test circuitboards, it's great!! tried it out briefly and the tone this thing makes is incredible, bassy as hyped and capable of great doom, certainly. very stoked on this project which has been several months in the making! interested to try it though an actually decent amp, and into my other beloved complete project, the Way Huge Red Llama. I don't think I mentioned that previously. I built it cause I wanted 1 an overdrive to replace my beloved Marshall MG15DFX (which I actually do adore the sound of)'s drive channel so I'd have a full-DIY signal into a clean amp and 2 a loud-ass gain-boosting beast for super volume and it really satisfied both goals. love it and it'll be hard to pick between it and the newly-completed BMP for favorite dirtbox... excellent. PS a couple other things I have worked on: 

this is a copy of a devi ever circuit... the Ruby fuzz. this was a cuper-super-simple build, just a pair of MPSA18 Darlington silicons providing a ton of gain create a noisey, oscillating broken-sounding fuzz, although it doesn't feedback terribly which is nice. this was a good break from building complex/pleasant circuits. I also built just the buffer stage of a KLON Centaur... this is a bit of a legendary circuit, and I can't say that with a brief test I discovered why. Sounds good, sounds like maybe my guitar sounds a little better through it... maybe? not sure. testing in high-volume environment would lead to more accurate results. next? I'd really like to branch out into something that's not fuzz/distortion/overdrive, although I love them. working on several boosts (AMZ, JHS, zVex SHO, and maybe others??), the Madbean Cave Dweller reverb/echo/delay which should be amazing, still debugging the MXR Blue Box, and I'd like to build some kind of tremolo next because I think they sound so rad, after that a phaser or chorus... feeling great about these sweet projects
