They're out of one of those 15-million-and-1 electronic projects kits. I never got along with electronics very well. Read the schematic, build the circuit, it doesn't work at all like it's supposed to. OK, this is educational. Not. I have utterly zero clue why not. Check the schematic, test again, same result. Buy a book called Basic Introduction to Electronics or something to that effect, and it starts off with 700 pages about covalent bonds and electron energy levels and crap. Ookay, but how do you put the thingies together to do stuff? Oh, you just have to make the electron jump three levels until it escapes, and then that's how your calculator works. ??? I'll leave electronics to you hard science maths/chemistry/physics guys. You know, the guys who have real jobs. Ha. -- D.

OK, this is fancier than what we used to build (I could have sworn we used resistors, one of which was a potentiometer to adjust the amount of fuzz added) but looks servicable: http://culturalflow.com/netlabels/electronic-musik/1971-fuzzbox-circuit-project-full-instructions-diy Note that it works by overamplifying the signal. The ones I recall building worked by adding the noise of battery current to the otherwise normal audio signal. But maybe I'm recollecting things wrong. That was a long time ago. Looks like it has step-by-step instructions Michael could use. ;-) -- David gn...@hawaii.rr.com authenticity, honesty, community http://dancingtreefrog.com http://clanjones.org/david/ http://dancing-treefrog.deviantart.com/ -- Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.

So am I and I just connected to what you're complaining about, I've been working around it for about a year NO PROBLEM. I use jack_capture and the wav file it saves out is also very weak but if I raise the RG AudioMixer out volume jack starts flashing red lights all over the place. The problem might be jack_related, I have no clue, but after I load the file into Audacity and amplify it at will. You can do that too with any editor. HTH BTW, can anyone suggest a half-decent distorted guitar sound? Everything I try in GM or Zyn just SUCKS I have no idea how to use any other source! -- Android is increasing in popularity, but the open development platform that developers love is also attractive to malware creators.
