What do you guys think about the metal can 308 vs the dip chips? I have a metal can from small ear and I've noticed that when embiggening the 30pf compensation cap a bit to 68 or 100 the metal can go into melt down whereas the dip does not. I'm curious if you've noticed any differences as well

Yes

^ that does look like an early case of photoshopping though...

Yeah, I'm thinking a shot gun blast would have obliterated it.

It's a famous "doctored" photo . And that's a rifle.

It looks fantastic.

You could try sub-ing that 062 with a lower noise part like an 072

I definitely remember it...

Holy shit... This the best rap I've heard in a long , long time

Maybe I missed it... Is there anything that leads us to believe that this will be a phaser other than us talking about it? I think we are looking at another Fuzz Tone reissue.

You're probably right there...
Still that PS-1A would be nice to do, whatever Gibson decides or comes up with doesn't change that.

Oh absolutely, I hope they do a whole lineup rather than just the fuzz like they did several years back. That would be great.

Wasn't the Madbean "Stage Fright" board a recreation of the Maestro Phaser?

That's exactly what I was thinking too.

I think the Stage Fright was based on the later model with the funky two knobs on the side enclosure

They should just use this ad

Edit: oh, wait... The new ad is for the Fuzz tone... bummer

Is there a rat pedal, like the palisades but based on a rat instead of a screamer? I was thinking of modifying a schematic to do just that.

VFE Alpha Dog... more of a Dunes tho

Damn that looks clean. The Marshall knobs are a cool tip of the hat to RR as well.

Thanks! Yep, good catch! I forgot to mention the Marshall homages being the knobs and the red and green LED asymmetric clipping combo.

This is a VFE Distortion 3 & Rocket EQ in a 1590BB

The idea is sort of a Randy Rhoads in a box type pedal since he was known for using the MXR Distortion+ into the old blue MXR 10 band graphic EQ. Since the D+ lacks a tone control it's a perfect combo.

Edit: as noted below, there is also a nod to Marshall with the knobs and the red and green LED asymmetric clipping.

The JST PH 2.0mm type connectors make it modular if I ever want to pull the boards out and put them in my eurorack pedalboard. These are smaller than the XH 2.54mm type which wouldn't have fit in this smaller enclosure.

I added the dress nuts to the A-1091 Tayda footswitch. The ones from SB didn't fit, and Mouser was the only place I could find a M12x0.75

I also added a center detent to the 9mm "Soft" pot. Here is a walk thru of how to do it.

Btw, the code is still good
