Today's experiment was one of those projects I've wanted to try for a long time. [VIDEO LINK]

Rather than arguing about magnets online, I figured the best approach was to build a proper vintage-spec PAF and swap only the magnet. Everything else stayed exactly the same.

Whether the result surprised you or confirmed what you expected, I hope it shows why I enjoy doing these hands-on experiments so much!

I'd love to know what you heard in the comparison, and if you've got ideas for other experiments you'd like me to test, let me know below. There's always another rabbit hole to disappear down!

This little six-component overdrive has quickly become one of my favourite DIY builds [Video Link]

If you'd like to experiment a bit further, the complete schematic pack is now available, including six bonus circuit variations, design notes, JFET biasing tips and plenty of modification ideas.

Have fun experimenting, and if you build one, I'd love to see it!
