This is why ya put a bias knob on the outside of the pedal ala “sun dial” so you can dial in the voltage going to Q2. ;-)I built a Fuzz Face back in the '90s with generic, Mouser supplied Ge transistors of the type required by the schematic. FF circuits are particularly sensitive to the Hfe of the transistors, and can really sound great or horrible or anywhere in between depending on the two transistors' relative Hfe. Mine sounded meh until the battery started to die, and the thing started biasing itself into the zone, and it sounded F***ING AMAZING. I'd save all my 9V batteries from other gear so that I would have a supply of almost-dead batteries to feed the thing....
Despite all the loose change in my pockets, I'll just stick with Fractal's version.Or you could buy this:

Guilty. And at the end of the NOS experience, I liked the store bought Electro Harmonix EL34s better.lol yeah, just like those chumps buying NOS Mullards.
The default is ON.Sorry to ask this. I am on 20.0 currently, When I upgrade to 20.03 will I have to make a selection to accept latest impedance curves? Or will it auto write over the old versions?
I read n the last release notes that a selection must be turned on to auto write over the previous curves.
The EH EL34's are great. Also their 6CA7's are killer too.Guilty. And at the end of the NOS experience, I liked the store bought Electro Harmonix EL34s better.
We have 20.03 because Cliff found some improvements for the drive block. The changes are already here.I've got to take nmy hat off to you guys, my attitude was; we've got a ton of drive pedals on the Axe, what's so great about this one?
Having trIed it, the Klone is excellent.
Withe Bassman drive low, there's still a nice boost at zero and when the drive on the Klon is set high, it's as if the drive on the Bassman itself has been turned up, so I get what you've been saying about the pedal melding with the amp's character.
@FractalAudio
You've learnt a few things modelling the Klon.
Does this mean it may result in changes to the drive modelling in general, or possibly may herald the creation of some more, quite unique, Fractal drives?
Before I could afford to carry a second multimeter, that was how I tested batteries....Different batterys even taste different! Just try a alkaline and a zinc one with the tip of your tongue on the connection side. Zinc smell very well structured with a breath of citrus and vanille in the back.
The schematic Craig Anderton presented in Guitar Palyer magazine didn't have that. It was a long time ago, and I was still pretty new at electronic stuff then....This is why ya put a bias knob on the outside of the pedal ala “sun dial” so you can dial in the voltage going to Q2. ;-)
I hope it can help with your drive doc efforts!Thanks for those pics!
By that point, about all that was left of NOS stuff from the golden era was the stuff that wasn't so great....Guilty. And at the end of the NOS experience, I liked the store bought Electro Harmonix EL34s better.
But... but... What if 6 turned out to be 9? Would you mind? Would you mind?If the power supply keeps the specified voltage stable
9V - 12V - or the anode voltage is 450 V, then there should be no problem
The anode voltage would require a separate presentation!
Then it doesn't matter what the brand is!
The point is that the load, which can be measured in Ampere, does not suck the voltage!
In other words, keep the specified voltage stable!
The set working point of the circuits is shifted if the voltage fluctuates!
Anyway, a new battery, not 9V, but as the example shows, 9.75V.
Now, if I connect this element to the gadget, it doesn't get 9V in the first place!
Well, I won't argue anymore!
Few klon ideas
I don't mind...But... but... What if 6 turned out to be 9? Would you mind? Would you mind?
Carbon zinc batteries have a different impedance, and does impact the tone differently to alkaline. Take a look at the gigrig virtual battery product to see more info about this. You really only notice it with certain fuzzes, overdrives, and boosts. It has a "fatter" thing happening.
