Maybe if you bend it down and let it Bee-yang back up at you.

Or to put it another way, I ordered a few so when they arrive I'll let you know if they sound like boners .

schweet dude, which ones???

this is gonna be awezome

FZ-7,EQ-7 and TR-8

I;ll wait til I've heard them but the price was way better than any of the reatilers online that I've seen.

good choices!

i look forward to hearing what the trem and eq are like! plus we need pics of those cool slider LEDs!

What opamp are they using in the Mouse? It doesn't look like a proper LM308 nor the acceptable replacement LM318. Can you read the numbers on the chips pls?

That's not the "RAT", it's the delay.

Looks nothing like a RAT with all those 16 pin ICs and that.

holy sh*t - the Biyang OD-8 overdrive comes with swappable chipset, and includes 3 chips:

- JRC4558
- 82A3H9M NE5532P
- TLD72CN KWK737

so can you just pop anything in there without soldering??! if so thats kinda sweet!

*shrug* These days I see classic circuits with all kinds of additional chips. Could have been an SMD dual opamp with a flip-flop for switching like the Boss pedals do.

For example, the DS-1 is pretty much a Rat with a BMP tone stack. Those have extra chips over what a normal Rat does, but it functions pretty close to the same.

And somehow the DS-1 sounds like arse and the RAT rulez.

That's due to the opamp used in the DS-1, the coupler caps, and diode selection in the DS-1. I've heard very very nice DS-1 pedals achieved with some simple modding to the above items. Even just fixing the coupler caps is a huge improvement.

The key to the sound of the RAT is the opamp they used. There's some other factors but that's the main one, you can fiddle with other aspects of the circuit a bit but it still sounds like a RAT. The DS-1 becomes a totally different pedal with just a few minor changes.

any news on the biyang pedals yaksox??

I'm especially interested in the EQ, as I love my Fish n Chips but boy is it cheap and breakable.

hi.

thats interesting. The Fish N chips and its boss equivilent (GE-7) both have 15GB of range in each slider, and pushing them up and down makes a dramatic difference. The Biyang EQ has "+15" and "-15" written on, so i assumed it was a straight copy.

What guitar and amp you using? At the very least, have you tried pushing the level sider all the way up - doesn't it make a massive level increase? Not try boosting the mids, upper mids and level, to make a transparent mid boost for soloing?

As for the other two - the analog trem is interesting, but i dont really use tremelo. if i did, i'd probably buy the biyang one just cos of the nice square/sin mix knob and true bypass. Fuzz doesn't interest me too much as im kinda all fuzzed out really; the only one i'd now buy would be a Little Big Muff. The analog chorus and phaser look nice, but again there are similar priced EHX equivilents that also have true bypass and better resale value.

Aren't the biyang pedals well construsted though - great switches and perfect bypass!

GB?

decibels or dB surely?

The Fish N Chips is a better EQ than the Boss, I've had both, the Fish N Chips is considerably when you're boosting the level or bands.

sorry yes dB. GB = i am a computer geek.

As so fish n chips has more dramatic effect on the sliders? maybe the Biyang is a copy of the boss then, it being more subtle.

ROFL

I missed a word of my post, it is considerably quieter when you boost the sliders. The Fish N Chips is a clone of the GE-7 with better filtering. It's the same as the "Sniper mod" that is floating around the internet
