Nice Pics !!
 Interesting even tho I can't read Spanish [much...getting a little better when looking at it though, thanks ! ], I can read the schematics and make out some of the words because of the pics, or schemas context...lol.
 I need to get a little richer and make an order, Neutron parts and  board at top of list...

i got the site tranlated for free at this site. just copy the pisotones url for the mutron and paste it in there. it does a pretty good job for the most part. good enough for the non spanish speaking. awesome silkscreening and pics.

Funny!!!

"Auto-Wah" translates into "Car-Wah"  

"Alimentación Externa" (external power supply) is now "External Diet"    

"Reverse Log" = "Log Invested"  :lol:  :lol:

"Patitas" (lugs) = "Ducklings" --- you have to speak spanish to get it but it's real fun!  :lol:

I love those robotranslators!

Looks great, Manolo. If you were only going to build one - the Mutron III or the Meatball - which would you build? Can either one do things the other can't? I do want an envelope generator myself, but I'm not sure I can justify building two.

[psst]

Actually, I built both, and as I always say it depends on what you're gonna use it for.
Both sound pretty similar, but the Meatball has more posibilities of teaking it to get different sounds. That's perfect for a recording studio, you tweak, experiment, and so, BUT for live situations I find the Mutron much better, cause it's not that hard to use it and to find the sounds.
I first built the Meatball and I had that problem live, so now I'm using the Mutron live (I'm very happy with it) and the Meatball to experiment while I record.

hi psst...
i'm gonna built the meatball next week...the only things that i don't understand is how to use open jack (6.3mm) in place of the enclosed that U use in the pisotone project...can U explain that...please  :?
thx

[psst]

The only difference is the "enclosed" ones I used have a switching system built-in. For input and output jacks it makes no diffefrence. For expression pedals inputs you'll have to find your own way...

It's true silkscreening. There's a link to the process in that web:
