NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

How’s it compare to that current popular RAT based pedal the 1981 DRV? I haven’t had the pleasure of playing one yet, but the DRV is sort like if you put a buffer in front of the rat, simplified the RC network off the first gain stage to just have one, swapped the JFET output to an Opamp, and then ...

Mudhoney is a Rat with 3 parts changed that make it sound very much not like a Rat. If you put the boost on, that’s almost exactly the Rat circuit. Boost off it’s closer to Tubscreamer. It’s also buffered. The reason why you’d say it’s a rat is that it uses a single Opamp with a dual rc network, har...

Sometimes it pays off - I got a “broken” Skreddy Screwdriver for $80…it literally just needed a knob screwed back on.

Sometimes it doesn’t and people have poured water through the whole thing so don’t beat yourself up.

What's actually wrong with it?

I endorse the above

In the post. Thanks 'The Family Music Store' for the great deal.

Pic's of me playing U-Bass on the Q7000 Helideck to come

It's an absolute pleasure to help!

I’m working offshore these days and though, when we were along-side in Geelong, I managed to get a cheap acoustic guitar aboard, normally extra luggage is not allowed for helicopter crew transfers. I play bass nowadays and am really missing having a bass instrument offshore. I have spoken to logist...

Right, just had a bit more of a tinker and I think I’ve cracked the ac15c1 code. Switching the tonestack to vintage gives you more interactive controls and a small bass boost. Switching the plate resistors from 100k to 220k changes the tone from being bright and a bit plinky (100k is more like a fen...

Nice! I really like the fuzz dog stuff

Rocker.

I think that going with the 50’s polygonal shape is a master stroke.

I need a review of that AO clone, stat! Did I read somewhere you were getting the X clone?

I like my PRRI

As an alternative layout: tuner -> cali76 -> QTron -> factotum -> bass fuzz -> BF-2B -> Alpha Omega I like to compress at the start to give the whole chain a consistent tone, drive into fuzz to give a “MOAR” stack -> modulation, then use Alpha Omega as an Amp Emulator. Another, probably better, chai...
