Well, my package was got here today and USPS "attempted delivery". In other words, I was home and my lazy carrier decided - as usual - to leave a slip in my mailbox instead of bringing it to the door. :banghead

Report and pics tomorrow.

Edit:

They're here. :D

Sounds fantastic! Must have been a real time capsule of tones to your ears.. of course tweaked to fuzz god perfection by BJ :pedallove

Always a bosstone fan and agree it's a dark horse. That and the harmonic percolator are two of my favorite fuzzes that just don't get enough credit for the cool stuff they do. The HP likely suffers from the fact that it is a huge PITA to build correctly and is a very sensitive circuit to dial in. Glad to see BJ take on the bosstone and love what BobbyD has done to show it off. Especially the King of the Hill riffing :music :music :music

yes! all of bjorn's fuzzes are fun! and that blue box is probably about as good as that circuit can sound without mods....i love how there's a slight hint of octave fuzz in there, and the rawness of a two transistor device. and a real walk down memory lane!

this thread is so amazing, took me a few days to read it all, but i did :mrgreen:

Nice...very nice. That’s quite the two knob terror....you could do a lot
with that pedal on a gig as Bobby clearly illustrated.
Anyone catch B Dizzle pull out “Symptom of the Universe”
(at the end right before Satisfaction)?

That was cool :clap: Thanks for the demo
