This is the enclosure for the smallest Matamp style drive, based on the GT100 amp.
Should be getting it wired up and into testing soon.

Once upon a time, I made a clone of the Experience Fuzz/Octave Fuzz/Swell pedal. While I thought the fuzzy side was great, with the greatest respect, the swell part left a lot to be desired. I heavily modified the swell section so it at least worked consistently, but ultimately, I was dissatisfied with it.
After a recent enquiry, I had the idea to replace the ineffective swell circuit with a modified Slow Gear circuit. This has several advantages over the original: it works consistently; it works with the fuzz in both normal and octave modes (the original only works with the octave mode) and it also works on its own. So, it's a little bigger than the original, but I think it will be much more effective, not to mention more versatile. The fuzz/octave fuzz is also available without the swell circuit (as the Dust Bunny) , as I believe that quite a few people were interested in buying the Experience minus the sell section, and this was never offered for sale. These are my take on some classic Muff circuits, in this case a V3 Red/Black, a V7 Green Russian and what was probably the first ever BM clone- the Jordan Creator 6000. These three are the first of a whole range which will feature some useful updates, such as a Mids control. V7 Green Russian inspired circuit. BC109C transistors (the numbers written on top are the gain values- each transistor is measured and selected) and polystyrene clipping filter caps. V3 Red/Black inspired circuit. MPSA18 transistors, so lots and lots of gain here! Jordan Creator 6000-inspired circuit. An old and rare Muff clone. The original was housed in a wah style treadle enclosure, which apparently wasn't particularly successful in its implementation.
This one has some NOS ME4003 transistors. The eagle-eyed Muff aficionado (well, those that can read colour codes!) will notice some unusual component values, which is apparent in its sound. |
