Cranked AC30

 

This is another I decided to build early on from drdfx. requiring etching a PCB. artwork is Inkscape (left pic ) printed by Tayda printing service.

The circuit is a discontinued Wampler cranked AC. It requires 3 matched sets of J201 Jfet transistors.

Needed to make a JFET tester for this. SMD J201's can be found on Tayda. soldering them to adaptor boards is a trick, but not as hard as you think it will be. youtube videos are great for learning how.

I would call this a bright overdrive/ distortion. Very usable from light gain settings to heavier stuff.

drdfx have videos with soundz examples if you think you might like
