twas a sad day.
well THIS VERY UNIT popped back up on ebay...
and it came home.
paid a little more than i sold it for.
but this time i think she's staying for good.
other news I:
as i'm re-shifting my focus on hand made electronics i think i have reached a balance with my muff collection.
i have been dumping my pedals slowly, and recently i managed to get rid of MOST of my muff clone/based pedals. As of this writing i only have my wren and cuff pickle pie, but i don't see me getting rid of that anytime soon, or really ever, as i don't think i'll ever buy an original swollen pickle.
other news II: i have 3 deluxe big muff units, i wanna unload 2 of them however, only one currently works.
i finally got to popping open the working unit to compare them.
here's the working one:
and the non- working units...:
seems we have a little problem doesn't it houston...
working model a's board is a completely different board than non-working models b+c.
(sigh)...
other news III:
muff obsession II once again delayed. hopefully i'll stop doubting the images for booklet already done...
or hopefully i'll make some prints that are truly mind blowing, that even i can't say no to.
you know a tribute just needs to be perfect imho...

Are the ICs socketed, or did they solder them in? If you're lucky enough to have sockets (unlikely as that may be) I'll bet rolling chips will make those function again.
anychance you'd be willing to sell those non working deluxe big muffs as-is?

@croch - of course they're not socketed... i need to dig deeper when i have proper time. what would help and kinda what i was hoping for was to buy another model with the same board so i can measure the values in the circuit to make sure everything working well enough.
@ dramatic, sorry not at this time as i have an addiction i cannot free myself of...
;)
