That schematic came from this forum.

yeah, thats where i found it, but i dont see anyone talking about which ones they built and how they actually sound, unless im an idiot and just didnt figure it o

A couple of days ago a fluorescent light bulb burned out in my desk lamp. When I went to unscrew it the top part separated from the base. Low and behold all of the electrical components in it!

I set it aside for future inspection or cannibalizing in a pinch.

It's funny that someone worked up some DIY stompbox projects from the available parts!

the reason is that those schematics are knock-offs of common fuzzes (1st one's a Fuzz Face) and boosters.

they will all sound good if "accidentally" biased correctly. it all depends on the exact resistor values in your bulb and how close you can get to those schematics

ah ok gottcha!!!!

btw, remember, you can get closer to those resistor/cap values with resistors/caps in parallel and series
