Bosstone wierdness

Funny how it goes round and round. The Bosstone was one of my first desired builds! See the schematics link at top.

Great! But I think I found a mistake in your layout:

hmm, no, if you look at the schem above, that resistor has to connect to the bias pot.

EDIT: Nevermind, that layout was all jacked up. try the one i updated it to.

I updated my brouser and it seems to be ok now.

Mark,
I prefer low gain Si near 100, both similar better.
In my all Ge version

I replaced the 150k with a (100k pot + 100k). It changes the bias point and also makes some wierd octave noises when q2 is away from 4.5v - 5.0v.

My preferred dish, Germanium!!!

It's really tempting... Any sample of the beast? Or at least few comments about the sound, comparisons or by itself?

Congratulations for the thread!

I should have recorded a sample long ago. I´ve posted some samples of my Ge Big Muff and Bazz Fuss... :S

hey mark,

just wanted to point out that "The Bosstone Wierdness" would make an excellent band name...
