Sounds great, what kind of pickups and amp are you using?

@glguitarman hello !! a hand made amp jtm45 style and guitar is a strat with duncans ssl1 neck and middle and Lollar imperial humbucker on bridge

This is the best sounding DIY FF I have ever heard. Which Small Bear 3AX31C transistors did you use? They have a matched pair for $10 (marked 'Sino') and another for $14 (marked 'Sino-US').

@davidbund2 hello!! use matched sino US and follow the late 60 schematic from GGG...good luck!!! THANK YOU!!!

@massdoll Cool, have you ever compared it to a fulltone '69

[massdoll]

@lennonemayara olá!!! siga sempre os layouts, veja bem as tuas soldas se não há algo errado, faça com calma, revise tudo novamente....veja se o projeto está correto para o tipo de transistor(pnp ou npn)...e tente sempre buscar os componentes corretos...abraço!!

Do you take any orders for a pedal like that?

I made one to copy this one, same transistors even, and it sounds like ass. $100 out the window.
