I have a question: does on your clone the pre and post clip knobs work well? On mine the Pre Clip knob does barely nothing (and I double checked all components and soldering joints, and everything is fine). Post Clip acts as it should.

Hello and I just re-checked (with a bass): same thing with mine, POST is fine, but PRE clip doesn't do much, according to my ears.

I did some further tests, and PRE does also something, but it is very noticeable when you feed the Sooperfuzz with a loud or distorted signal, then it starts to make sense when you turn the knob

Ah, I see, that knob is good for dirty stacking ....

I got some boards from MAE lately (YES and NO), so will soon put soon together my "pimped" YES clone! Anybody else got some these boards from MAE?

This is my "Perhaps?!" fuzz: built using MAE Business Card PCB, it's basically my own mix of Yes & No fuzz pedals.
Controls (left to right, top to bottom): Volume, Tone, Yes' More, Octave, NO's Thud.
Switches (left to right): 386 low-high gain, Q1 PNP/NPN switch, 3 position Yes' Splat (1nF, off, 10nF)

Stil trying out some transistor, but it's a messy, funny fuzz!

Fresh from the workbench a pair of Infanem clones: blue Driving Notion and bare aluminium 141G.

141G: straight forward build. I went for the G version, but I did a tweak as I installed 4.7uF NP caps instead of the 10uF, as I felt the sound was a tiny bit too boomy/bassy (but in a good way), and played a bit around with the transistors to get a different texture than the stock 2N2222.

Driving Notion: I did some tweaks in the High part of the circuit: I used sockets for R30 and ended with an additional 2n2 cap in this slot, as it adds a nice extra grit to the distortion. I socketed also C12, as I found a pair of schematics with different values for this cap and the stock 1nF was a bit too much glassy/high-piercing for my taste. I ended with a 47nF, but already 10nF sounds way better than then 1nF, IMHO.

As usual: big kudos to Deadend FX for the stellar PCBs!

I rehoused a ggg orange squeezer kit I put together 16ish years ago… not showing a guts shot.. I barely got it all in the pedal was originally the normal Mxr layout… the enclosure is recycled from another old project that I never really liked… only mod to the design was I changed the input cap for a larger one so it works better on bass.. I painted it with orange safety paint
