Thanks man! Your builds look amazing as usual. That green Muff looks AWESOME!
I've been meaning to ask you.. I know you've built DAM Meatheads and I was wondering if you know where I could get the correct transistors for one. I've been wanting to build one for a while but I don't know where to find the transistors.
The BC182L is a low gain silicon transistor with typical DC Current Gain (hfe) of 40 to 500
there was a OC81D Deluxe Meathead, its more rare
so the BC182L is standard but the pinout is different than most transistors. if you do the BC182L, you should probably use the correct vero layout. stupiddreams88 can hook you up with that. madbean has two PCB's for the meathead. the sprout pcb is more silicon one knob colorsound fuzz. the snack shack pcb is more meathead-ish since you can use large axial (mojo?) caps. the pinout on those PCB's is not made for BC182L. if you use the BC182L on a madbean pcb, you need to bend two pins in a helix. those two circuits are the same just different values and components. I'm guessing that a 2N2222 might work just fine.
@stupiddreams88 what IC did you use in the hot cake?
