audio transformer for distort-o-matic xi?

[fogwolf]

I would like to build the Distort-O-Matic XI from the "Going Discrete" issue of Stompboxology but am not sure what a good audio transformer would be for it. Here's how Nick Boscorelli describes what he used:

L1 was salvaged from a Dunlop Crybaby manufactured in 1989; it has a nominal value of ~0.5H. Several small audio transformers sold by Mouser also exhibit ~0.5H of inductance, but proved unsuitable due to their low Q.

Anyone else build this or know of an inductor that fits this description (nominal value of ~0.5 with a high Q)?

Thanks!

I have been thinking about building one of these for more than year now. I have yet to start. I bought two Fasel inductors from Aron. I figured these were wah inductors they would probably do the job.

Sounds like the Fasel should work.

Great - thanks!
