this guy has a bunch...

that is some good stuff right there

all roads lead to bacon

my guess would be african. since it does not show any wear or heavy use that suggests made for the tourist trade. or it could be a chinese knock off

it'll be the most "Dumble" part of the amp...

My thoughts too. the legs on the 8 pin sockets I had were pretty short. not sure you could get a good solder on whats left. I considered it. if I had another, I would splay out the legs and solder jumper wires to the terminals, then cover them with epoxy. Steel Stick type stuff, like dough when mixed. not liquid that might get in the sockets. and yeah, the 1k replaced with a pot was on my list as well. I'm thinkin 2k. I'll see what I have as for it being $5.... no. not unless you have leftovers. the chip is $10 to start with. and you don't need to use those 600 volt rated yellow caps either (couple 3 or 4 bucks each)

the chip got here a couple days ago and I started the build but went to an 8 pin socket instead of wiring straight to the chip. got it almost done... last connection... and the socket broke. the little legs are too fragile when not mounted on a PC board. so, I figured I'd try again and be more careful but the result is the same... broke that sucker trying install the chip. so... solder straight to the chip it is. maybe tomorrow

horrible

still waiting for a part but I will build this

I saw that a couple days ago. gonna give it a try. the IC is the only thing I have to order. now back to shoveling snow....

jam night... 1 guitar and a minimal pedal board. jams around here are back lined. gig night, add one guitar and an amp. between me and the other guitar guy there might be another amp... depends on how far away from home base, more than about half hour drive or so we take a spare. I'm thinking about an expanded board again but local stages are crowded. the shortened version has a Flint (reverb and trem), an Echoplex (small version) Keely booster pedal, and a tuner.

well ya look like a horse's ass....

I have the EHX and it does the simulation really well, including the lead/lag when changing speeds or when switching on/off. I also have the real thing for comparison. the pedal sounds like a recorded Leslie for lack of a better way to put it. a real Leslie in person does some wheezing and whirling and sounds reflect off the walls and such... can't replicate true depth that it makes "in person". but it sounds like a well recorded Leslie, and without actual moving parts I don't think any pedal can do better than that. it seems to prefer it's own power supply but I think mostly it just needs to have enough power if on a shared source

dang... thought of another one... Elvin Bishop

working on shipping a guitar from Idaho to Anchorage... $244 is about the cheapest we can come up with. about 30 bucks less to Seattle
