Check out the article on that site about an onboard electric guitar booster based on the Stratoblaster...powered by a 3V Lithium battery!

The lithium battary is cool but won't the 3V power result in poor headroom?

You want funny dialect? Try the Dialectizer with your favorite web page, choices of: Redneck, Jive etc are quite comical:

Ps: Sorry for the OT, but this is a classic dialect filter thats been around for years on lots of different OS's. :D

HI all!

This is my web site!


Ansil is right!
I showed Doug's FireFly mod some time ago and also sent a link to this schematics to Doug.

Aron saw my mod of his Shaka Tube too!

2 Brian Marshall:

Do ya think every Russian man hates capitalistic countries?
Hope you don't!  :)

I don't have any heartburn about Igor's Firefly variation schematic being posted. He showed me that a long time ago and it's his own design.

I don't want people copying my drawings and posting them on their site, with or without my name on it. I have a note at the top of my page which covers that. But that's not the case here. That's Igor's design.

Actually, I think its good to have some Russian friends here - (there are no strangers, just friends we don't recognise!) I bet it's easier to get into Russia now than to get into the USA.

Doug H,

Wow the Vox Valvetone is another TubeScreamer-based pedal.  Does it sound better than the run-of-the-mill TS?

Post by: AL on March 18, 2004, 04:05:01 PM
Very nice site!!!   Glad you're here.  

Phillip, I don't own a Vox Valvetone (V810?) but I have had a few discussions with others about this pedal ( I think on this forum??) and it apparently does sound similar to a Tube Screamer.  The general consesus from just about everyone I talked to was that it's a nice sounding pedal but it is surrounded by a good deal of hype.  So, if it's cheap buy it but don't waste big $$ on it when you can get a TS-5 for $20.  But the enclosure is way cool!!

DXF that's Autocad. You can look for an Autocad viewer, Voloview is one I believe.

I'll try to answer to recent questions:


2 moosapotamus:
Thanks!
I have a couple of different layouts for TRIO. They are a bit defferent. I got them from different people and haven't verified by myself so you better check 'em by yourself!


2 phillip:
Tube Screamer sounds a bit more angry to my ear and has more gain!


2 AL:
Thanks!


2 Aron:
Haha! You forgot 'Perestroyka' man! (((=


2 Ansil:
Cool! If you'll need any help learning Russian - feel free to contact me! (=

hmm not quite sure, i guess you mean either

turn her on to diy

or be on my best behavior

either way i always try to turn people on to diy.

and for the second one i have learned something

after being married and divorced, i realized that this is all just a game, therefore since it is a game i decided that it would be easier to play as my self and not a facsimile of what people wish to see.

my Beliefs man and they work for me i dont' have time to make people happy on their terms.
