Mike, have you ever done a Civil War Muff? I saw a PGS pedal demo that was based on the Civil War Muff. Sounded pretty cool.

i thought the civil war muff was a green muff clone?

civil wars were out before the green russian..... there are only 4 parts that are different, the civil war has three 430pf high pass filters on Q1-3 compared to the 470pf's on the green, and the emitter resistor is different on Q4.... Civil war is 2.7k and green is 2k

basically the civil war is a tiny bit raspier with alittle more high end and the green has a touch more gain in the Q4 tranny

The Green is better in those subtle ways in my opinion. I also only use 470pF on those filters - you won't catch me trying to find some hard to find 430pF caps just because EHX slapped them in because they got them for cheap.

Never built one but I've seen a schematic - should be doable. PM me if you're intreested.

I've also been soldering my nuts off for my next few cases to get my order list down.

Sitting on my desk are built & tested circuit boards for the following:

- Dream Box (5)
- '78 IC Muff (2)
- Saltbooster Plus
- Modded Big Muff
- One Knob Fuzz
- Green Ringer


One of my next builds is the Nobels ODR-S I've done a layout for recently. it's the swank one with the 3 band EQ.

Finished this one last night. Mercy Dream Boxes are a lot of wiring up. Approx an hour and a bit.

Certainly seem to be popular - I've built 5 and there are another 9 on my order list!

given the amount of work in the dreamboxes are you considering getting these made up as PCBs Mike?

I can believe it. Since getting mine I've not even picked up my acoustic once...and I love my acoustic. I love the Dreambox more. Gotta go do an riff!
