    Swishy - James what are you using to get that tone?

    I'd like to kiss your ass James Hart. Tooling around on here during my lunch i linked through to your myspace page. Anyway i'm loving your tone in your track 'Swishy'. That is pretty much exactly the sound I'm desperately trying to get. I really warm, slightly crunchy sound that is really...

    Clean boost?? There's plenty out there, but here's one of my favs. [Invalid or Expired Link Removed]

    Big Muff question - all the versions????

    Interesting. Graphically at least, the swollen pickle is quite a different animal to the muff. I'll be firing up the old soldering iron to build up a blackish Muff in the not too distant I think. Can't see that there's too much to choose between that and the green russian one, and maybe if I...

    Big Muff question - all the versions????

    thanks. most of what I've read elsewhere suggests black or green russian muff for bass. I'm think black specs are likely to be the way to go. I'm quite surprised at how much the black muffs fetch on ebay....

    Red Llama - Tube Sound Fuzz - build thread

    Great clips, and there's no arguing with that kind of evidence. That's pretty much what my clone sounds like too, so nice to have that aural reference point! For my 2 pennies on this debate though, wasn't there a time when pretty much all distortion boxes were referred to as 'fuzz boxes'...

    Red Llama - Tube Sound Fuzz - build thread

    I just got the Craig Anderton book which has the TSF project in it, around which the Llama is based. It suggests for the TSF, that tant or aluminium electrolytic will do, so I guess that this translates to the Llama. I imagine the cap just needs polarity to work right... I've replaced electros...

    Big Muff question - all the versions????

    I've read a few threads on various incarnations of the big muff, and I currently own a clone of a Way Huge Swollen Pickle (which I love). I'm interested to know the definitive view on what each incarnation of the Big Muff does sonically. The majority seem to favour the russian muff for bass, but...

    Red Llama - Tube Sound Fuzz - build thread

    I've got an audio taper pot there, but it's still very loud. about 25% is about right for unity volume on mine too. Not that it's a problem, I can just keep the volume low....

    Red Llama - Tube Sound Fuzz - build thread

    Nice build. Very neat. Is that the tonepad PCB? Layout looks the same as mine, except what have you done with your Fuzz / Drive pot? I haven't looked at my pcb to check, but you have wiper 1 shorted to 2? Mine may be the same, but done on the PCB, i'll have to check. Anyone else finding that...

    Red Llama - Tube Sound Fuzz - build thread

    Hey I got my red llama all built up now and I have to say I'm liking it. I have some questions of those who have used the Red Llama before though. First there's a **** load of volume in this pedal. With drive at 12 oclock or above parity volume is at about 9 o'clock on the vol control. Is this...
