A new fully populated pcb showed up today. I totally forgot I ordered it! Engineer's Thumb. Stoked, I know just the graphic I'm going to use.

The JMK one? I was thrilled to see that Jacob was doing that one and was waiting for it to go live on the store...and then totally forgot about it until a couple days ago. Hope I got my order in while they were still in stock!

That would be Merlin Blencowe, the guy who designed it.

His site is a goldmine of tube info ... and his tech infos on his pedal designs is fabulous as well.

Excelent,thanks Jon. Are you going to be selling your projects on 1776? Tremolo specifically.

Yeah, Merlin is the bomb. I've been sleeping with his amp books under my pillow for the last two weeks.

The ET is supposed to be the best new compressor design. Something I'd really like to get together for myself. Gotta tell us how you like it!

I haven't built the afterlife, but they're different technologies based on different designs, so I can't imagine them sound exactly the same. However, they are both compressors, so there may be some similarities in the results.

For the record, I think the Engineer's thumb sounds just like the Ross comp (maybe better) BUT WITHOUT NOISE.
