Reminds me of the episode of Top Gear that was filmed in Albania, where the hosts remarked that they couldn't say the English word "peach" there because it sounds like the Albanian word "piçkë" (or some related word).   :icon_lol:

Technical difficulties.  Please stand by.

How it sounds? I'm curious on this one. Is the layout available?

I'm working on it.. layout, maybe samples..

In the meantime - another Bajaman's circuits boxed, UBS and Silent Selector

Off topic, but this is the Slavic word adopted by Albanians (as well as many others). We say almost the same, as well as all other Slavic people in Balkans. Etymology of the word is related to old Slavic word for female chicken, as well as penis in Slavic languages is related to a male chicken, or rooster.

I named Pchula (P-chula: "pichula",one of the many nicknames around here to refer to the penis......  ;D )

Here in Brazil pitchula (with a "t", but I think it's the same pronunciation) is a slang for cute girl.

P-Chula / P-Tschka

Great new pedal name.. LOL.

input jack / output jack

here, we say per-Choonka! or a variant of, but it means something entirely different - like when you throw down the right bower playing euchre.
I feel sick.

Plexy, where are you from? I ask because here where I live, the word for pussy is "p-tschka", similar to what you use for the opposite thing :)

Nice build however, and I had the same idea for my Uglyface build - since I have run out of space after adding mix pot (and already have a bunch of other pots and switches for LFO) - to add a trim pot for master volume and set it to unity gain (or little bit above) to clean signal. Mostly due to the fact that UF is extremely loud and I have never used it with volume more than 1 :)

Thanks!!
I'm in Argentina (at the moment.....), in Mendoza: an oasis land full of wineyards and wineries  ;D
The main idea was to use an external master volume, but, the owner wants especially an internal trimpot: for simplicity and look purposes hahaha

Could be a double pedal: Pchula is an od-boost that can "push" a noisy preamp distortion. A great feature: it can oscillate.

Sure! we're closer
That I remember; "tarado" (sexual harasser for you, and stupid boy here), "saco" (balls there, and a elegant jacket here), "bicho" (gay?, here 'insect', or a tender way to call a small child).

Another one..!
Cornish G2; original switching and buffer.
Used 1N60 and a huge mix of transistors (BC547, 548, 549 and 550).



Please, do not look the awful solder and almost burned jacks... (they're recycled  ;D )

Neat wiring, Plexi. Nice build!

"bicho" (gay?, here 'insect', or a tender way to call a small child).
Actually is "bicha" for gay. "Bicho" means an animal, or "dude". Also, there's the very popular (altough illegal) "jogo do bicho" (animal game), often just called as "bicho", which is a kind of lottery where numbers are related to an animal. It's illegal because it's considered as a gamblers game and also (mainly) because it doesn't pay any taxes or tributes to the government.

Nice wiring, Plexi. What's that bypass board?

It's the Cornish Buffer. I left empty space on the PCB, so I can drill and adjust with the DPDT nut. Then, this pcb is glued to the main G2 pcb (with a mounted pot).
That way, I have everything fixed.
I did it in almost every build I made; mod the PCB's and drill.

I like that font,plexi.it reminds me of a clumsy typesetter, it kinda has that over strike bleeding effect, the circuit looks nice also  :icon_lol:

I made it by hand, with a letters template and permant marker.
Not the most artistic method, but its a neat one  ;D

Similar words are used in other Romance languages for small children (pitchoun, pichon, pitchou in French, Occitan and Wallon respectively I think)

Mini D.A. PNP Fuzz Face for 1590A... coming soon as well.



I may have to swap C10 and the trimmer to make room so Q2 can lay down.. we'll see....

(Edit:  Yep,  I decided to tweak it)

AMT P1, preamp part only, no cabsim. Still not sure about knobs. I've designed the faceplate for a Davies 1900H type knobs but I like bigger knobs too.
