This be late version of the bend, not early. This is from the batch that went to Fuzz Monster in Denmark and one of the last batches Rhys made before just dissappearing off the face of the planet.

I also checked the Seppuku website via the Wayback Machine to find out if that MemoryLoss is a clone. But it was indeed built by Rhys. Have fun with it!

The Repeater is already gone, too. I'd loke to have the version with the speed switch that you once had, UC. :animal:

I recognized that thick layer of blue and those ugly curly knobs from some of Rhys' builds from around that era and just assumed it was real. Glad to hear that it is. :lol:

I had that trem only very briefly. It was ok, but it felt like anyone could have made it, ya know? Didn't have that mindwarp/memloss/kassette chaotic build vibe.

Well, the Repeater is just Rhys' take on a Vox Repeat Percussion. So, yeah, anybody probably could've made it. Not as rockin' as Rhys though. :rock:

Yeah, I know, right? Still curious about other variations on the circuit though... especially when the price is right. Just curious enough to want to try'em all...
Or maybe I'm covid-bored...

I think if it sells fast it doesn't show up in the emails. Also don't show up sometimes if the seller hasn't added shipping to your country. Pretty lame. I accidentally checked Reverb, which I usually do maybe once a week and it popped up. Pure luck.

As requested by moid and a YouTube user, here are some gut shots of my Octave Drone with the OP Amp selector:

Thanks Pepe! Well that's certainly an experience... the inside of that enclosure! Well I now feel somewhat better about some of my own wiring efforts :) So the switch on the side presumably adds the other Op Amp into the circuit, but does it do so instead of the main opamp, or in addition to it (my guess is in addition, because they are both the same opamp really). Pepe, when you activate the switch on the side does the audio get massively louder / more distorted? And does the drone control effect the signal whether the switch is on or not? I watched your video again but couldn't work out what the drone control did! Thank you for the photos, they are a total surprise to what I thought I would see!
