as per my earlier post, i'm not 100% sure if I posted this before, so apologies if i did.
So it's an MXR Microamp, but with a TL071. I did some research into it before I built it, as far as the TL071 goes, cos the Microamp uses something different. Can't remember off hand what it was... In anycase, the interweb suggested that a TL071 would actually give better results, cos it's generally a lower noise amp than the standard MA one. In anycase, i went with the TL071, and it is remarkably clean. My only problem with this build was that I couldn't get one of the Reverse Audio Taper pots without having to order it in online. I went with a linear taper. I know i could have used a 1M pot and some resistors, but the current pot is fine. So far, all i've been doing with it is leaving it on, at the set level i like, so it's grand.
The finish was actually done with tracing paper. I didn't have any spraymount either, so i used photomount. It's a little thicker, kinda like a light paste, and was a little messy. However, it gave a rather odd blotchy effect, which i kinda like! Makes it look a bit old or something. Anyway, it sounds great, and thats the main thing. This was also my second time mounting the pot to the board, to make everything a bit more stable, and it worked really well. I'm pleased with how it turned out in the end.
