Interesting! I didn't know that you can use transistors in a parallel way.
They won't strictly act "in parallel". When the Ge transistor is plugged in it will essentially become dominant because of the lower Vbe. This will lower the gain of the pedal and darken it.

Re: 32FZ pedals... formerly the Fuzz Architect

I haven't sorted out the labelling yet - the text you see is just mockup. I'll be laser engraving the labels with black fused titanium. Anyway, this is the first complete pedal with the "production" features and look-and-feel. Only thing not fully complete is the lack of the retaining foam for the b...

Re: How can we breathe some life back into the forum?

Re: New "32" (Laurie) pedals - slowly starting the build

No labels on this first one. Not yet sure about the knobs - these are just some I had in stock. Actual build will have the knobs about 5mm further away from the footswitch. Gives everything from clean boost to saturated Germanium overdrive. Very happy with the tone and simplicity. . 32ODV2first1.jpg...

Re: New "32" (Laurie) pedals - slowly starting the build

First 32ODV2 board loaded. This one is a test build and I'll use it to adjust the final fit.

Re: 32FZ pedals... formerly the Fuzz Architect

Hmmm... so would the consensus be that no need for an on/off switch? I use mine all the time - the pedal stays plugged into my home board and the switch is off unless I intended to bring the pedal into the chain. I leave the battery in place unless the pedal goes into storage.
