This is the sound with the new transistor in the input stage (2N5087). I had to amplify the effect part by 3dB to make it sound a little more even with the clean signal. I'm playing a fretless yamaha bass with EMG-DC pickups through an Ampeg Rocket Bass amp (I love this amp). The signal is going into my computer via the line out, so there's no EQ. I recorded with Audacity. Here's what I'm doing:
0:00 - 0:30 Clean
0:30 - 0:54 Effect with no resonance
0:54 - 1:05 Some resonance
1:05 - 1:23 More resonance
1:23 - 1:53 Max resonance
1:55 - end Distortion
For the distortion part, I keep on changing tone, depth, rate, and resonance. I know I start with no res, then I increase the tone, then I adjust the settings until I get something I like. I had to change the playing style because slapping doesn't come out so nice with distortion.
Here are some pictures of an unpopulated board. The Fuzz Factory part is blacked out with sharpie. My next step is to populate the board with different JFETs and see what that does.
