So this is a clone of the old Interfax Harmonic Percolator. I used a board from Fuzz Dog's Pedal Parts in the UK. I built this pedal using a BC108 with an hFE of 284 for the silicon transistor and a Tesla 104NU71 with an hFE of 60 for the germanium transistor.
It's...odd. Sometimes strange and splatty. Sometimes furry and warm. Switching out the diode clipping makes it even more obviously quirky. It's a very unusual fuzz pedal.
So here's my other Sunday night project. A clone of the old Mosrite Fuzzrite pedal. I wanted to do it mainly because of Pino Rucher's tone on, 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,' but also because of Iron Butterfly.
I've been told that the magic happens with 80-90 hFE in Q1 and 60 hFE or so in Q2. The idea being that the second transistor has less output than the first. So I put a vintage BC108 in Q1 and a very nice gold-pin 2N3724 in Q2.
It really does sound like that thing. Kind of harsh and trebly and not very friendly. I need to run it into some reverb to get my Spaghetti Western mojo going.
Here's a look at that Buzzaround PCB. I used a BC108 in Q1 and a leaky (it needs to be leaky) germanium AC130 in Q2. Great circuit.
A very clean XRN007 comes in as third unit on BC108 from Bulga at East Maitland on the 23/10/18.

Trying to use stuff I have on-hand to generate a little more revenue in advance of the massive wire transfer for the Telematic run. I noticed I had the stuff laying around to build a Fuzzrite tonight, so I just listed that. I used a pair of vintage BC108 transistors. Sounds pretty Fuzzrite-y.
