Pictures!

[Electric Warrior]

finally settled on a set of transistors :

[Magnus]

Hello,

those look so neat!! congratz!

Thank you 

did you use OC75s for your MKI clone or did you use replacement such as AC125 / 126 / 128 ? (and if you used OC75s, did you try any other Ge transistors?)

Q1 is a OC70 (my OC75's don't have the right hFe-values), Q2 and Q2 are AC125's,
I tried AC128's too but the AC125's really sound better for me...

@ Electric Warrior:
Great one!


Greetings
Magnus

Jorge: great first post

Is it just me or do you guys notice too that the builds are getting cleaner and more professional every day? 
Very nice pictures!

Here is one for Slade!  Ask him to translate 
Op Amp driving a Ge transistor with switchable diodes

What's the purpose of the zip tie that's on the power jack

I was going to ask too!
Lol!

ok, thanks.
i also found that AC151s were a cross match for OC75s, but they are quite expensive and i can't find selected ones, and i'm not sure i want to buy a hundred of them just for 1 clone!
by the way, what Hfe should Q1 be? i looked everywhere i could but it's the only information that i couldn't find out about!

cheers

What's the purpose of the zip tie that's on the power jack 

It is holding the battery clip wires so if it gets tugged it doesn't pull at the connections 

[Pollinator95]

Is the graphic what the name implies? In any case, bravo.  
Edit: Grease / dirt?

50 - 70

I can't see where that zip tie even touches the battery cable... ?

I'm talking about the one around the threads on the DC jack...

Yes, the graphic is what the name implies.  
Grasa - Fat(without the diode clipping) & Mugre - Dirt(with the diodes)

You can't really see it in the picture but the red/black twisted pair is anchored to the dc jack with the zip tie

I'm just trying to figure how eggs and father have anything to do with a pedal, course it could be my very rudimentary spanish

Eggs usually refer to ones testicles.  I always thought Jefe, meant boss. El Boludo isn't that an arsehole?

[Slade]

Here is one for Slade!

I'll PM my address

BTW, "caña" here in Chile is also used for "Hangover".

You're absolutely right!
Jefe: Boss, chief.
Boludo (argentinian term): Stupid, idiot, etc.

[Slade]

I tried to go Magnus with this one... but how could I... Didn't take enough Magnusin pills.
Anyway, it's a A/B Loop selector with master bypass and A+B Switch (Guitar->Loop A -> Loop B - > Amp). Not the most beautiful pedal I've made but the paint gave me a lot of work. Here it is:







Cheers!

How do you guys get the wiring so neat?  I get that you're very careful to cut to the perfect length, but even so my wiring tends to slowly round out over time until it becomes unsightly.  Does it have some coating or a large core?

[John Lyons]

Very Nice Fernando!! I like the colorfulness.

Solid Core wiring stays pretty good. I switched to solid core a year or two ago and haven't gone back to stranded since. everyone says stranded is less prone to breaking, but i've found the opposite in my builds...
