Title: Runt
Post by: alanp on June 20, 2013, 03:21:37 AM
A couple of you may have heard of an old distortion pedal named after some kind of vermin.

This is a runty rat. It's an evil little bastard, in all the best ways  ;D

It's very harsh, but in a somewhat creamy way. The heatshrink on the switch is because the bloody insulation came off the blimmin' wire. The back went onto the Trogg okay, but this one I had to jam it on. Pot wiring is still too long. I put some tape on the back of the lid just in case. It still works closed up   :-[

I'm going to have to say, artistically you've outdone yourself!  Hows about a sound clip!  ;D

Rej, the brandname is "Dymo". They sell modern label printers that look like stickers (used a lot in most offices), but if you look around you can still buy the oldfashioned mechanical label makers that use that black tape. You can't change the font size -- four letters is about the limit on a 1590A. I had to trim back the control label strip to get it to fit.

Jimi, trust me that you do NOT want to hear my playing through high gain! ;)
