Ok so far 2 for Dave and 1 for Roe.
They will be around 9$US each + shipping. Is it a fair price?
I should have them in about 2-3 weeks.

Best price I have heard of in a long time. Cheers!

great price ! thank you !

yes, absolutely great price - thanks! (I'd prefer shipping to Germany)

Made some progress on the schematic and PCB. its 5cm by 5cm to fit in a 1590B enclosure
Gonna order some pcb and component soon

I'd also love to get a pcb, if it is possible

Yes no problem am in canada and can ship worldwide.
+1 for niknik.

5 left.

I'd like one too (though I'm not entirely sure I know what it is... )

Ok the PCb are done manufacturing and i will have them on monday 22 Jan

+1 for Bill Bokey
and am gonna keep an extra to make a assembled kit or pcb available here.(for people who dont like soldering

3 left.

I will also make a drilling template for the enclosure and provide basic mounting/wiring instruction with picture.

Dave:
i did get a few different value zener to match my AC127/AC128.
I was thinking, why not replace the zener with a Vbe multiplier/Amplified diode.(just replace the 100k bias with a fixed resistor and have the Vbe multiplier set the bias(maby "with a bit of luck" we could use a germanium transistor for the Vbe multiplier to track bias with heat and increase stability))

great! please do tell how much shipping cost and I'll paypal the money

Same for me, let me know how much I should paypal for a PCB + shipping to France.

Thanks !

Lettermail to USA: 2.88 USD
Air parcel to USA: 8.68 USD
Tracked Air parcel to USA: 15.54 USD

Lettermail to International(Germany, France): 3.54 USD
Air parcel to int: 9.05 USD
Tracked parcel int 9 day: 27.92 USD

I will wait for the pcb to arrive before accepting payment(just want to inspect the pcb and make sure everything is fine first).
Pm me for paypal address.

Tek, no reason you can't use other means to get the DC offset. Probably a germanium device would help with the temp stability too; I once thought of using some temperature dependent resistors there, but I decided to keep it original for the sake of the history of it, and the fact that even with its shortcomings, Jimi liked it. It may turn out to be the only way to get some of his sounds, those that were made using the actual circuit I made for him.
Still, the DC only feedback path should not affect the tones it makes, and being able to dial in the right amount of DC offset without having to fiddle around with substituting zeners seems like a smart thing to do.

Dave,
As I understand it you are planning to put together a complete fuzz for a few of us? That is really too kind! Just let me know how much I owe you, all expenses and work covered.

When you'll be ready, I'll be ready too to send paypal payment

Yes when i have the pcb on hand and am ready to ship i will tell everyone

I made a BOM and parts are on the way(making a NPN AC127 version)
Dave and everyone else can use it(i'll post more info/picture for the assembly later):
