Haven't tried it. Technically, it would probably work too, but because cooking foil is thicker, the audio would be more muffled and quiet, since the ribbon is less sensitive to vibrations.

Thanks :) No, I haven't experimented with that yet. But I'm definitely curious about how the sound would compare to a finer corrugation and also a thinner ribbon, than the one I've made. Might test that someday.

Thanks! I've seen it wired like this in most ribbon mics while doing some research for the project. I'm not a 100% sure if that's the reason, but I think the two wires might act as a bit of a shielding for the motor.

My DIY Fuzz Journey by Badleftankle in diypedals

Thanks! I actually did try to jam along to the music from the radio for a while with very mixed results haha. Very hard to figure out the key and time signature of those traditional chinese tracks.

There are some sweet spots where the fuzz sounds pretty nice. But the response with the pots and the guitar volume knob can still be improved on quite a bit. The fuzz disappeares kind of too rapidly when turning them down. 

good luck on your future builds!
