Yeah, FET baseds pedals do have abit more Electric component count,
The trims are more troublesome, i'm sure nasa Labs would open a new department called "rocking" science..
shud try cascaded CMOS, i tried it, its sounds even nicer than fets
much easier to build too, just get a 4049UBE you easily have 6 stages to play with!
No trims!

Tell you what ...since you discovered e 4049, go build a clone of either a red llama, anderton's tube sound fuzz, Hot Harmonics, emma zitz, etc and see what you prefer. Maybe you can design something fresh out of the 4049...
All tube amps are cascaded tubes ...maybe should try something els and make it nicer ... remove the need to bias too ha.
yeah, currently tweaking on my breadboard.
i found that too many stages also no point,
need to moderate or will hit the ceiling very very very quick!
playin around with tone stacks, cos of the abundance of inverters.
ya lor, removin the need to bias is first up on my list, thats why
I'm trying out the 4049.

You can build fet based without trimmers...BSIAB
Don't give up .. it's just first few premature misadventures.
Fet's are tricky and given time, you can get em to behave and perform to your command.... get a protoboard and tweak away!!!
Guess i am slow and it took me 5 yrs to figure it out aye and many more to come....
Hey jameshetfieldkirkhammet, metallica would laugh at yr distoiton pedal! the metal zone is dog shit! Haha ok fine not tryng to find trouble or anything but if you like it then good for you. Anyway mine is dime distortion pedal. Keeps me motivated to imrpove myself everytime i see his face on my pedal. Haha sounds weird but works for me.
DIMEBAG DARRELL MY HERO RIP

Haha. I run a SX strat to a Line 6 Uber Metal and Artec Para EQ into a crappy SX Ga10.
I don't really have a nice distortion due to the amp,but I always do my best ot improve the tone. Hahaha. I boost the drive (so called overdrive) channel with the Uber Metal.
I like a tubish kinda sound,not too bright,with enough gain,kinda wet,warm and heavy for my rhythm.
For my leads,step on the Para Eq to boost some of my mids.
I'm looking for Metallica's tone from master of puppets,and for their first album kill em all. Anyone got any suggestions?
I'm upgrading my amp though,to a marshall MG15MS2.
... remove the need to bias too ha.
and many more to come....
