Here's an interesting fuzz if you like noise :)

I found that a B100K works better for Oscillation Frequency and A20K for Power Starve.

Here a demo-video I found on youtube

Does it make any difference if the 40409 is an UBE or BCP?

I would go with the UBE (unbuffered). I guess that the BCP is a buffered version, it will also work but it will not be as unruly. :)

Nice layout. I like how all the pot wiring is kept together to make it a really neat build.

Hi, just a few quick questions - I assume this is based off ToneGod's schematic? http://tech.thetonegod.com/christine/christine_schematic.jpg

Any reason that you have used non-polarized caps for C4 and C7? Also any reason you are using a 100K for R9 instead of the 10K shown in the schematic?

I put this together last night and forgot to ground out pot lugs 3 for osc / power stave / gain, so got a lot of extra squeal in the circuit!

I made this layout from the musicpcb schematic and i'm sure it's 100% true to that version, but I can't seem to find it now.

Thanks! I'll check that out.

MusicPCB no longer stock the Christine PCBs, so they moved the build docs:

Hey Man finished building this works great except some of the pots cut out at full turn any way to solve this issue or have I screwed up? Cheers

That doesn't sound normal, so there might be some issue with your build. But i'm not 100% sure. It's one crazy circuit and it's been a long time since I built it. I don't have my build any longer.
cheers / Fredrik
