I could just image Ron Asheton stomping on that pedal when he recorded 1969

[DystopianEmpire01]

Sounds like an electric chainsaw. Sweet.

Great unit ! I'm gonna build a germanium one from the schematic. Make sure to get

- Carbon fibre resistors (two 22k, one 1M, one 47k, one 100k and one 10M),

- Ceramic capacitors ( three 0.005µF and a pair of 0.002µF) + one polar 25µ (which originally was a manganese dioxide but a modern one it will not change anything)

- And 2 germanium transistors, 2N2613 & 2N408 (both very rare, but not impossible to find if you look hard !).

There is a good layout for beginers on goggle image ! Have fun !

@timjmoran

It's funny you mention EH. If you read the history about the fuzzrite, Mike Matthews was commissioned to build the guild fuzzrite after Mosrite went out of business. At about 1968 he changed the name to foxey lady and then to axis fuzz which is the first EH product besides the LPB1. That axis fuzz became the triangle muff most likely to avoid legal problems. Look for kitrae's big muff site, he talks all about it.

BTW that fuzzrite is just downright nasty and the way it should sound

@ttrisking1011 Ah HA.. So it DOES.. I stand suitably chastened... thank you Mr Ris-King, for your eagle eye.

BUT.. ya gotta admit.. it LOOKs a a hella lot like it COULD have been made by EH... don't know if they ever

made pedals for other Mfg.. but they Could have... and Mosrite was not exactly known for their pedals,

were they??

[ttrisking1011]

@timjmoran Are you blind? It reads "Mosrite" right on the pedal. Let's go, guy.

[SuperTopa123]

is the ac100 cph pedal friendly? have u compare it with ac50?
