Me too....so much so that I actually might keep this one :lol:

I find it extremely hard to keep my DIY pedals because I have TONS already. This one is a beast for sure though.

The Red Rooster and Meathead w/ dark/standard switch that Aaron made me are my main contenders. SO GOOD!

Great looking build, outside and in. Those knobs look good on anything.

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.

from the internet>
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?

In the HC I used a TL071 and didn't add the zener but it sounds fantastic none the less and in the MH I use BC182L's and 2n3904's
