the reviewer did mention the "crackle okay" labels on those two controls.  i think he just didn't like the crackling sound anyway... it is pretty annoying.  but i'm never going to stop making products with those controls... the straightforwardness of that type of gain control is just too elegant.

In response to the questions in the forum - PCB Layout for Musical Effects is available from The Book Patch. Search "PCB Layout" and it ought to appear.

I got shot in the eye with an airsoft pistol in the midst of a war in my dorms hallways last year. That hurt.

it's just rg insulting me again.  it was good enough for Neve when he designed the Philips recording consoles in the late 60's with mic pre gain controls that switched between various emitter resistors, so it's certainly good enough for me.  8^)  you had to mute the channel every time you switched that gain control or it sounded like the console was exploding.

If we were talking about a new distortion by anyones else, would this thread have gone like this?  Is this a tribute to Z's uniqueness???

I was pre-mature (pre-mature, I've been thinking about this all week - joke, different type of pre-mature) in initiating a Fuzz Factory type post.  Probably need to wait until the BOR is more famous.

Why is it that Jfets seem to get all the press rather than Mosfets.  Surely having a greater tendency to blow up isn't it. 

I still think the 2N7000 has the sexiest part number of all, like some new appliance from the Jetsons.   :icon_cool:
