I've got a bigger breadboard and just ordered a truckload of components so I'm sure I'll be back to read this all in detail.

In the meantime here's an unrelated yet oddly related video. Imagine merging the two concepts...

Here's my first bread board attempt, and after working out some bugs it worked out really nice. I am thrilled, and of course now I can tweak it. Thanks all for the help here.

All i got to say before you build one. look at as many boards as you can find, see what you like and dont like. keep looking as you start your like/dislike
list a design will start forming. i hated how ratty some of them looked. who the hell wants a box with a tangled rats-nest hanging off one side?
take a look at the beavis board, need a devolt circuit? Pimp it, it yours, show it off !

I can breadboard an NPN fuzzface according to the Beavis website http://beavisaudio.com/bboard/projects/ ... Rev1_1.pdf but am having trouble breadboarding a PNP (I have matched germaniums). I thought flipping the electrolytic capacitors and flipping + and neg on the busses would do it, but I got nothing. So I put + and - into their regular busses and reversed all the connections to ground and power. Still nothing. FYI, I started witha pair of 2n3904 for npn and a pair of 2n3906 for the pnp attempt before messing with the germanium transistors. Am I approaching this all wrong?

Flipping the polarity should do it, but ,if you have a breakout box with an led wired for negative ground, they won't get a long. I can't breadboard with my Beavis board style setup for this reason. I don't let that stop me however, I've put a Road Rage style polarity inverter between the box and the breadboard.

Thank you! I forgot about the LED in the breakout box.

If you already have a test box then you just need to get a couple pieces of breadboard and some solid core wire. Start with a simple circuit or two to figure out how it works and work up from there. I'm still making lots of dumb mistakes with it but learning as I go. About a year ago I bought and built a kit from Small Bear, 'breadboard an IC distortion'. It did help me learn a good bit about how to make the connections and read a schematic. The kit is pretty much just parts and instructions though they sell the rest of what you would need as well. I'd buy at least a couple boards because it won't take long before you have several boards floating around with projects on them.

Lots of space helps. And a breakout box. And a jumper kit is essential. I do a lot of breadboarding.

Can't tell out what the image is.

So I just ordered my British Blues Overdrive kit and reread the instructions. With the potential mods listed, and with many components included, what would I need to do to breadboard the kit for easy trialing before final build?
