I got a few extra parts lying around ( Mullard OC44 PNP's )from 2 other builds and i'd like to try this one out and see how it sounds.

Where can i get the board and what kind should i buy?

Would this one work?

Also, Correct me if i'm wrong but is this the parts list ?

1 - 470k  Resistor
1 - 68k  Resistor
1 - 3.9k  Resistor
2 - 50uf  Electrolytic Radial Capacitors
1 - .005uf  Ceramic Capacitor
1 - .01uf  Ceramic Capacitor

The switch, pot and jacks i have.


Thanks for your help,

...Lou

#1
* use 1% metal-film resistors (less hissy)
* input cap of .033uF or .05uF seem to work well for single coils, around .005uF and .001uF for humbuckers (make it switchable)
* 70-95 gain is sound pretty cool.

Hi,

I do not like ceramic caps! Better use film!They give smoother sound!

Replase 68k resistot with 100k trim pot(wired as a wariable resistor) and adjust Colector voltage around 7,0 V!

Good luck!
