Don't try to be a great pedal. Just be a pedal, and let history make its own judgments.

Well.. How much would a original 60's Burns buzzaround enclosure cost?

Thnx for your expertise! Copy-pasted it in my archives 🤘🏼

Title was exaggeration of course, but I'm indeed tempted to build a couple of variations on the RAT etc Already build the expandora but no longer have it (Sold to a fan of those modern ZZ top tones) I think I'll just start with the basic rat and take it from there with variations and different...

I'm gonna put them all in 1 enclosure.. 🤣

I had build a Pandora's Box with OP07 in it which I unfortunately no longer have. So can't compare. What are the differences between the "AH" / "H" / "N" and other designations on the 308's?

Were these also the National Semiconductor brand?

Got a bunch of stuff from a old radio/tv repairman retiring. Lots of silicon transistors and diodes and some germanium as well. But also some IC's Notably..metal can LM308H's! 38 of 'm to be precise. Look like National Semiconductor brand. Are these the "mojo" ones for a RAT? Most have same...

So... Sometimes I build a pedal and envision a certain look/ aesthetic / layout. If using a pedalpcb that's not laid out the way in which I need it to be, I try to make it work. Examples: Pandora in a 1590bb on it's side with @Chuck D. Bones bass pot mod: A Powder Blues pcb on it's side in...

I mostly build with no graphics/art/control indication. If i decided to sell one, I have no problems selling it fast. Especially when it's a popular circuit. Art is nice but a lot of overkill on boxes from for example Earthquaker devices. Or the new vibe from pedal pawn.. Good pedals, but: 😅😅

That's coincidental.. I was using up my last stripboard 2 weeks ago and built this Secret preamp: *edit* forgot obligatory gutshot. Added.

It's less "gainy" and smoother sounding, maybe a bit scooped even. Also the note decay/sustain is different. The gain at 0 /"low peak"/ Volume and Tone up is magnificent on this one. If I remove the socketed c2 cap, a 22nf in this case, it gets a bit more gain and the overall presence seems to...

Got a OCD 1.4 in a trade last week which I planned to sell fast considering the recent prices on retar... reverb.com. Plugged it in to make sure it's in good working order. Sounded great! Better than my previous 1.4 I had. Opened it, and saw a few mods. The obvious most common one: germanium...

OCD 😅

Found some ba282's luckily! Not cheap though 😅 I understood from some posts here that they're quite essential in this circuit to sound like the originals. I don't have a original soloist, but I do have a 2019 duellist, and the string singer side is practically dead on in sound with my lone king...
