Today i bought a Meastro Fuzz Tone= 7.99..the switch was pushed down as it is held in place by a round rubber piece--easy fix though..This is how its advertised=Design entirely faithful to the original

Point-to-point wiring
Volume control with on/off
Attack control
Foot-operated in/out switch
1/4" I/O

Brief history

All this for a shitty sounding pedal to me--Ive made so many better sounding ones from DIY than this 99.00 thing.


Also got a new Small Clone Chorus=9.99$ no adapter/or box..interesting that it only uses a special adapter..Anyone think of any reason not to take the jack off and replaace it with a regular style boss type jack?

Thats all for hunting this week=not bad but the wife is telling me i have too many already..What do i need more for? My answer--I just do.. 8)

Make yourself a junction box for your adaptor.  You'll be glad you did.  Get a plastic box from Rat Shack sink a couple of holes in it and wire up a bunch of output jacks.  Then make yourself some custom patch cords to run power from the junction box to whatever.  Some of the patch cords can be barrel-type on one end and reverse polarity barrael on the other or barrel one end and phone on the other.

E-H made a LOT of pedals with phone jacks for external power.  Not THAT wierd my friend, and a whole lot easier to machine.  They also don't have to be assembled as part of the board.

Yea, what Mark said. I currently have 14 pedals running off 1 DOD PS200R Wallwart with a junction unit I built... Your outlets will thank you too  :lol:

...there were times when E-H jacks were "regular" style...
