*Other FETs will work, such
as J201. This section is
working as a buffer and will
have little bearing on the
tone. Pads are provided for
through-hole or SMT FETs.
**We’ve been building these
for years will 100u at the
output. It’s plenty bassy.
***To build it without the
tone control simply leave out
these parts.
No jumpers required.
