Tone Report Weekly 181 | Page 25

some notes: This particular version of the Boss Tone uses a slightly modified transistor set, one I think works particularly well for the circuit. A bias control (“Volts”) is included that works as a “wave smoother” with this component set. Finally, there’s a three-way toggle that gives you three different levels of compression, and thus, fuzz. The toggle controls clipping diodes, and the selections are “no diodes,” the stock silicon and a set of Shottkey diodes that provides maximum compression. The diodes are located on the bottom-right of the board, so feel free to substitute any you may have, including LEDs, germanium diodes, or a mix of any. The kit, however, includes 1N4148 silicons and BAT41 Shottkeys. ToneReport.com ToneReport.com 25 25
