Title: Classic +, Legit Mojo
Post by: GrindCustoms on August 29, 2012, 09:10:16 AM
CJ's Plus Dist housed in a vintage MXR distortion + enclosure   :D

Built to spec, but with LM741CH IC and Schottky/LED clipping combo.

Those who wonder why i have metal can IC and not you......, it's one i ordered before the groupbuy....

And i decided to not relic the knobs.........., they'll get old by themself...

Nice!  Excellent example of recycling as well.  Plus, those are some big ole' tants.  ;D

Oh wow! I'm glad I haven't built mine yet because you got me inspired on the diodes. How do you like that combination?

Thanks for the comments folks! :)

I really like the sound of this one, i've been able to do alot of IC and Diode testing with my other Plus Dist built that was made on the proto board.

The LED/Schottky combo, gives some sort of....«uneven» harmonics in the distortion, the CH IC also pushes a bit softer than the standard DIP8 package..., well...to my ears.

I've tried alot of IC in this circuit, LM741, 741CH, 741 Stacked and LM1458....wich is i think like a stacked but in one single package.

I really like the big balls that the 47uf tants are  ;D

I like the recycled enclosure. What happened to the original circuitry?

Thanks, i really don't know about the original circuit.... ::) I got the enclosure only in a trade with a BYOC member...
