thanks Tim, just popped up in my noggin, but obviously you had that covered!
Every MKIII type pedal I have done (no limiting resistor thank you!) has had tons of volume to spare, so not sure what Rotosound are playing at, have heard a few good reports (after fiddling with the trims!) on these so maybe just a one off low volume one?

I think I know the OP from a few emails we have exchanged so I hope he won't be insulted but for a bit more cash I would personally go for the new DAM/Emanating Fist version of the Roto fuzz = Lucifer Rising.

On a side note, I noticed the other week that Christian at Magnetic Effects has built some of these Tonebenders using a charge pump to get the positive ground supply, while allowing use of a standard 9V DC center negative adapter. That sounds like a pretty clever idea.[/quote]

Yeah a few people do this at the moment, Jimmy Behan, Arc Effects, and the guy you mentioned, probably is more, haven't tried it myself.
