Green Ringer Build Report

OCtaRing Heaven !!!
 Superb Tones [with FF in front of it]
 I'ts nice to be able to go to great Octave sound with the hit of one switch from Fuzz. A majority of the time I want a switch from Fuzz to Octave, not often do I want a switch from Clean Octave.
 I fudged up the input impedance paralleling two 330k's [for 660k instead of the 560k] and then a 70k combo for the Base to ground...so mainly just a slight increase of input impedance.
 For the diodes, the 22k's the 68k's I matched the sets.
 For the two 10k's above/below Q2, I used 10k for Q2CR and a pot bumped up to go 2k2 - 12k2, hoping to be able to tune the splitter, but it doesn't seem to make much difference so I just 10k/10k'd them.
 Starting with Si Diodes, then much preferring the Octave tone with Ge's.
 Q2 started as a 2n4402, and was swapped for a Ge Hfe 139.
 It sounds alot like the Tycho I cloned, a little less fierce, but is also better behaved in general.
 This one has an excellent ring to it and is very easy for *us to use.

Thanks for the report. I was considering building the GR this weekend but after searching around here I got the impression that people were not that excited about it. It sounds like a cool add-on to a fuzz project.

have you built the Scrambler? How does it compare?
