Wattson EFY-6 Fuzz Clone (Shin Ei FY-6 Superfuzz variant) - HGE Contraptions 179th circuit built
Tried for fun all sorts of transistors like older C536, Toshiba C828 with lower hfe, you name it (BC209, BC239, BC107,108,109, etc). In the end still the high hfe 2N5088 in all positions (with Q4 and Q5 matched) like it has stock sounds "the best" -> saying this because the customer wanted it to be a higher gain variant and more "od-ish" than "splatter fuzz" since he already has a Shin Ei FY-6 reissue, so then I also adjusted the internal trimmer for a beefier sound/more od-ish of sorts than that classic indefinite fuzz splatter at any setting (even if the "gating" effect of Q4 and 5 is not present now, so at the expense of some hiss as a tradeoff). A fun pedal to have, since you can just socket and go to town with the trimmer and lower hfe variants like in older superfuzz pedals. I wanted the trimmer out but the customer insisted to leave it inside and adjust to my taste.

HGE Contraptions Keeley Java Boost custom shop MP41 russian transistor version (170th pedal built).
I actually repurposed a noname pedal housing and made my own circuit clone inside haha.
A random take boosting with it before it was housed, in an FX loop switcher I did:

Carvin V3 Mods finally done after a lot of tests. Way more usable now!
If anyone that owns this actually wants a usable Carvin V3 head, I am posting the modifications below. You also have a detailed explanation:

Did a pickup swap (so a partial rewire) in my Carvin DC727 USA 7 string guitar.
Had to physically sand the DiMarzios (Illuminator neck + insane X2N bridge), because these Carvins before a certain year had smaller routings stock. Came out great!

Daca e superglue cum imi pare, poti incerca un debonder, e special pt indepartat super glue:
ZAP Glue Z-7 Debonder 29.5ml - High Quality RC Car Glue - TRA Shop the ULTIMATE TRAXXAS ONLINE SHOP
Eu il foloseam in trecut la diverse lucruri intre refrets si fix chestii de genul, doar ca tu ai cam gros stratul ala de glue.
Daca nu merge, ai treaba
cu slefuit si polish si etc. Nu e mare lucru, dar iti trebuie tot felul de lucruri si nu cred ca le ai, asa ca mergi la un pro mai bine.
Eu mi-am facut singur , debonderul a ajutat doar partial, tot a trebuit mecanic indepartat.
Bafta.

Eu aveam un Ibanez Roadstar RS 440 (cu care Manuel Savu inregistrase discul "Făra teama" (Krypton) cu ceva timp înainte). Btw, pe chitara aia am dat în septembrie 1990, 50000 de lei, bani cu care îmi putem cumpăra o garsonieră confort 1 la Dristor, de exemplu.

* HGE Contraptions Core Shaper EQ clone (167th pedal built)
Will most likely use two hifi OPAMPS when I have them instead of the 5532 and 072 (SMD adapted to THT, with the OPA1678 IC -> lower noise and clearer)
This is a parametric mid frequency eq (Mid knob + Mid Frequency knob), which also has Bass and Tone controls. Can also be used as a booster of sorts, in conjunction with the Volume knob.
In detail, the gain is +-16dB, the frequency sweep is about 300 to 3.3K, the Q is 2.4 in HI and 1 in LO. The beauty of this circuit is that the Q stays constant across the whole sweep and so does the gain.
Before this, there's a low gain input stage which gives a strong input signal and buffers the input while avoiding clipping at guitar levels throughout the circuit. The charge pump helps with the headroom, providing a +-9V supply so the boost levels can be reached without problems.
Following the bandpass, there's a very standard Baxandall 2 band EQ to take care of low and high frequency and add quite a lot of flexibility to the circuit when combined with the bandpass.

Este Maestrul Jean Prosteanu, un discipol al lui Hubay Jenö, violonist de mare anvergura din Timisoroara. O adevarata legenda a violonisticii din Romania, dar din pacate nu exista inregistrari cu el. A fost insa comparat cu Maestrul George Enescu in presa si la vremea lor. Cunoscut ca mare virtuos, ca interpret excelent al muzicii lui Paganini.
Multumesc pentru completari!
