Maybe I'm dense.  (Probably am) but is the power supply for the rustbucket a negative or positive center power supply?  Also what have you guys been using since Small Bear doesn't seem to carry the dunlop one anymore.  Also just for clarification it is an AC/DC supply and not AC/AC right?  Thanks.

So what is this PT80 chip? Never heard of it before this.  I'm intrigued.

If you go to the Hammond Enclosures website you can download iges or step files of their enclosures.  I've used those as a starting point for layouts on occasion.  I believe all versions of AutoCAD import at least iges.

That finish is really interesting, especially near the bottom where it bursts.  Very cool!

I've bought some from a China eBay seller before.  Functionally no issues.  Only problem I had with them was there was something on the lugs that wouldn't take solder.  A little sanding and flux and the problem was solved. I'd buy again if the price was right and I need a decent quantity.

Any pics I post here are fair game on a MBP Facebook page, although I heard all the cool kids are on MySpace.

Well, I'll probably be dead by then so no worries

Tants same thing?

So i'm building a Mascis inspired muff based. Using a v6 Ram's Head vero as a baseline.  In the Mascis version there is used a more than a few 1uF caps.  On the vero they are called out as box caps, but in the muff schematics I've found on kitrae's site it shows them to be electros.  So question is what effect will electros have on the sound vs the box caps?  If any?  I'm thinking not much but I have seen many people it's not good to use electros in the signal path, so I'm wondering why.  Ultimately I am out of 1uF box caps but was hoping I could use electros to no ill effect.  Or should I maybe use tants instead? 

I'll probably build a couple different of the high gain monsters.  Starting with the TripleWrecker.  Just need to find a pcb.  Any thoughts on where I can buy one, anyone?  Is the RCustom the consensus?  If so where do I get that?  I think I will want to run it at a higher voltage too.

great suggestions guys!  Way more to choose from than I anticipated.  Good thing I have a birthday coming up soon.

I'm jonesing for a heavy gain pedal.  I have lots of OD, Muff, and Fuzz on hand.  But I want, I guess, a distortion flavor.  I would like a 1590B size or maybe even 125B, due to my current pedal board.  Currently thinking about either building a Zvex "Box of Metal" or a Mad Professor "Stone Grey".  Not looking for a Marshall Plexi amp-pedal thing so anything that's based on that, I'm not real interested in.  Any others I should consider?

Ah, Lansing...

yeah, depends what "sound" you want.  Are you going for Andy Summers grit?  Does it have to be bean board or are you up for a vero build.  I hear the WIIO is pretty good with SS.  Also My Zen clone sounds pretty good on most amps, SS and Tube.  Even a muff variant would probably sound good if you dial back the fuzz level.

Yup, I keep seeing their name pop up on various other forums and its all the same.  They suck!

These may be interesting
