ROCKET is ready to launch

[zener]

It's 3:45 in the morning :shock:  (Phil. time) and I've just finished Aron's Rocket. Played with it for several minutes, set the drive at full and turned the trimpot many times. This is actually my first hi-gain effect (done with Smash Drive and Dist+).

I'm planning to take out the trimpot and replace it with a mounted pot since I can't stay on one setting, I keep on turning it. After writing this, I'm going to swap 2n5088 and 2n3904 till I get the best three-tranny combination.

Thanks evreyone and especially Aron for this wonderful thing :wink: It's worthy of some sleepless hours :shock: .

The Insanity Box is next in my list. A more intense one .

I almost always make the bias control an external pot.  At one side it gates and at the other it has a compressed sound.

Check Doug H's Hot Si for another fun circuit.

I forgot that it was based on your circuit, thanks Gus. Were you able to fix the gating? I noticed it too somewhere while turning the trimpot. I used a 2n5088 in the input and the other two are 2n3904. I made it three 2n5088 and noticed just a bit of additional sustain/gain.

Thanks :wink:
