Hi Till, great line of pedal you have. Very nice graphics! I see Musikding pedals, so I guess you are European or German? What is your experience with the Musikding Noise Gate?

A Wire pot i think. There is a unisolated wire very evenly wound around a high ring and the wiper turns 300 degr. around on the inside touching the wire. Built this way it should be linear.

What a let down. But you compare US made wgs with china made Celestions pricewise, i guess.

I had a one to one comparism of the ET65 and my vintage Celestion G12-65. They were incredible close or more: simply not distinguishable.

They have their on facility in Paducah, KY. This was also the home of the CTS company and other manufacturers. Read here: https://wgsusa.com/pages/wgs-legacy

A friend played a WGS Veteran with a WGS Retro in 2x12 cab. The Veteran is also a lot smoother, but with the same mid push.

I gave the V30 a run, too. Unpleasent harsh and middy. I happily live with a vintage G12-65 now.

Genuine Thru hole j201 are rare like hen‘s teeth. Most of the them on Fleabay are relabled new ones from asia or discarded old ones.

No.

Maybe you can rub the LED with steel wool or scotch brite.

Yep.

I recently socketed a BSIAB which calls for 3 stages with those jfets. My experience was that the 2n5457 and thd j201 had a slight difference in gain, but the mpf102 was remarkably lower that the other two. I settled with the 2n5457 being in the middle.

Good move!

I think the newer boards are carrying numbers like pcb407, which can be used in the search function.

From my notes: Most popular Rat subs CA3130 - Slew = 10V/µs; MOSFET (In & Out) Ratsub mids push LF356 - Slew = 12V/µs; FET Ratsub LM301 - Slew = variable; BJT Ratsub HiFi LM307 - Slew = 0.4V/µs; FET Ratsub LM308 - Slew = 0.3V/µs; BJT Rat LM709 - Slew = 0.25V/µs; BJT Ratsub LM741 - Slew =...
