Very nice, indeed.

yeah 2 snaps, grahams and another one I have seen had only one.
the circuit seems to be based on a transistor radio amplifier, a lot of similarities to some circuits in a mullard amp book I have, and a lot of those run at 18v so maybe a throwback to that in some way.
be interesting to know if WEM started off with 18v and then dropped to 9v or if it was the other way round?

nice score mate! :badteeth:
Wait, I'm so confused... are there TWO Project V circuits, with one being 18V?
Or should I try powering the 9V Project V I built based on the commonly distributed schematic/pedal that was reversed here on the DAM board?

Yes! Easily... Then you can kick in the "Drive" & "Edge" switches, with both ON, it "goes to 11" -Crazy Deep and Bright Fuzz tones with strange feedback and decay. Quite unlike any fuzz I have tried. Kinda like a Germanium Mosrite Fuzzrite combined with an MKI.... :tu:

It might be a MKII on that recording as he's shown using both within relatively short time scale. Nice to get an opinion from someone that owns a P5 though. :tu:

looks like the same circuit, I haven't tried powering a warmjet with 18v yet but the parts are voltage rated to handle it and they are all built with DC inputs now.

Also very intrigued about the 18 volt aspect of this. I swear down the one Graham kindly loaned was smooth like butter, and most folk say this circuit is gated? I've dabbled a lil with the notes and info I took from that unit and it was pretty level and dynamic for the most part. It always struck me as a Super Fuzz minus the debris.

awesome pedal, love the build quality. :badlove:
I still gots to build me one!

Keep us posted if you do.
I've got a dunlop 18V adapter but would feel much better If you tried it first.
