Yep, thanks for the head's up. There's a fair amount of info out there for making these amps safe to play. The isolation transformer and a 3-prong cord with proper grounding seems to be the ticket. I was tempted to plug it in as-is just to see how it sounded, but the previous resident chewed...

Picked up this Kay 703C amp from a yard sale for twenty bucks. It's in nice cosmetic shape, except for the mouse nest stuffed inside the chassis. Cleaning it out revealed the intact original circuit. I'm planning to recap and install an isolation transformer later this fall.

That color jams the all frequencies on channel two.

Very excited to build mine too. I've always been a a huge fan of the guitar sounds on A Ghost Is Born. Tangent: may I ask where you source your stamps and ink? Feeling like I need more stampydoo vibe in my life.

This may or may not help, but Aion has an SD-9 board with a few mods built in: https://aionfx.com/project/meteor-vintage-distortion/ I built one with the intention of modding it further to match my SD-9 with Analogman "808" mods, but I've been enjoying the wider range of tones in the stock Aion...

An Iridescent tap tempo delay board from Electric Canary showed up today... With some French candies!

Going off on a tangent... Would it be reasonable to substitute a foot switch for the toggle in this build with some off-board wiring? Any volume drop between modes?

So, do vintage pedals ever get recapped? Is that even a thing?

I found the Blackstar Amplug to be decent, but the Mustang Micro is a step up. I'd love to DIY a 125B headphone amp + cab sim that plays nicely with my drive pedals though...

Bumping this thread to see if @rmfx has a long term review of the Bontempo module. I'm considering the Iridescent kit from Electric Canary that incorporates the Bontempo into a modulated delay board: https://electric-canary.com/iridescent.html

So I have a JHS 3 Series Delay that uses the FV-1. Would this mod work on that pedal as well?
