2025 Summer Cyan

Another year brings us back to a new Summer Cyan build.  This year is a combination of a little old and a little new.  I am still using BC108's, but this build I'm using a whole slew of them.  BC108B in Q1, and BC108C's in Q2-Q4, and an MPSA12 in Q5 to get above unity.  Since I am using mostly BC108's this is a little lower gain than last year, chunkier, more fuzzstortiony.  Also on board with the Texture Toggle I've added the 80n in position 1, blower (straight transistors) in position 2, and a single NOS Fairchild diode to create asymmetrical clipping.  The difference between 1&2 is pretty dramatic, but in contrast #3 is more subtle.  You'll hear a slight change in the attack. Also this year I am "fire-brushing" which yields all kinds of textures and patterns in the metal, and after hand powder-coating there are additional texture and waves.  Since this is all done by hand, there are variations and flaws.  Please embrace these signs of a hand made process.  Laser etching through
