Looks nice!

Quite a buzz about these IC muffs at the moment. EH should get back in the IC muff game and clean-up.

Actually, if you want some IC muff boards gimme a shout. I'm making a big batch next week and will have a load to spare.

Surely if I did that then people would start complaining the vintage veroboard ones sound better than the new mass produced PCB ones ;-)

Are you trying to run me out of business adding it to your product line?

I did ages ago, just added a few lines to the green muff page saying I make IC muffs as well, and I've had lots of orders for em, peaking recently. I still paint them myself and use transfers, although I got a quote for getting these boxes powdercoated then a full-colour dye-sublimation print as I want to keep my eastern-bloc design, but it was like £11 a box for 50, so it's gonna have to wait.

Fair enough. You have a completely different business model to me.

Mike - a tentative query: Much as I love fuzz through my Fender Musicmaster Bass amp some kinds of my riffing are better with the much 'tighter' distortion/gain on my little solid state Marshall practice amp.....BUT...I want to get that through my FMMB amp too for it's cleans and the ability to switch between the two with a pedal.

I'd say the sound the Marshall has that kind of Husker Du, early Black flag kind of thing, it's got be quite 'fizzy' around the edges (i.e not too 'metal' - like the distortion trails off into infinity rather than ends in a straight line if that makes any sense yet is still tight) and be pretty damn 'gnarly' with the capacity to be face meltingly ballsy.... yet also keep string clarity. A bit of Neil young wouldn't go amiss as a reference point too I guess.

What sort of MBM options are there for this kind of thing? Any pedal names I can look up would be ace and if it would help I can get a video up of the marshall and me doing an riff for reference.

Thanks mate

Hmm. A video might be the best best so I can figure out what sort of sonic ballpark you're talking about, but any pedal I make won't have the complex circuitry like you'll find in the front end of an amp, even a solid-state Marshall practise one - they're pretty real beasts.

Did nothing on my youtube channels sound like it?

Why that didn't occur to me I have no idea. I'll have a look through when I get home from work and if not I'll get something up for reference.

Nae worries, sorry it took a little bit, I had to get that MPSA13 Darlington Pair Transistor and then figure out it was backwards.

At the right settings, this thing picks up shortwave radio.

after benecol mentioned about the ultralords on the recent neil young thread i've been looking around for this. I'm looking forward to hearing how this beast sounds
