Hi all - I am hoping to start on a Mangler build soon, and have the parts on their way from Small Bear. 

IF I use teh Raod Rage - do I need to reverse all the capacitors on the Mangler?

thanks

Not if you intend to build a PNP fuzz face. The roadrage will take you standard +9v (i.e. boss style adapter) and covert it to -9v to work with the PNP fuzz.

If you ordered NPN transistiors then you would flip the caps and protection diode and would not need a road rage at all going this route.

Pryde -

I ordered a set of PNP GE transistors from Small Bear for this pedal build. 

I will build to standard spec and then use the road rage and my 1 Spot to power it.

thanks again.
