i definitely enjoyed it - not sure i have any new ideas for cabs that'd serve better than what i have - maybe a bit more settled into enjoying/accepting what i hear as a good thing and just rolling

and, yeah, i'm sure mic distance is also a variable that matters - and would have exploded the already insane amount of work into ultra-giga levels that would have broken even his titanic resolve :lol:

To follow up to my own post, Trogotronic still sells an Iron Cross switcher, and another switcher unit "C36" which has a control wheel, gate switch, push buttons etc. Looks absolutely fantastic! But premium prices.

Anybody tried this or know of a schem? Would feel kinda bad hacking up my MF Drive now that they're expensive, but this seems super useful.

Some how-to here:

Guts so you know what’s in there in advance:

There was a schematic of the original circuit floating around but I can’t find it.

Haven’t yet, but it’s on my to-do list.

Oh, I also found the schematic. Linked at the top post here: https://www.freestompboxes.org/viewtopi ... =1&t=31250

I wonder if R26 can be left in place if R27 is removed. I might need smaller probes on my multimeter to know.

My Boss HM2 seems to add a hum, and then my other dirt downstream amplifies that hum. The HM2 doesn’t hum when it’s engaged, but seems to add line noise when it’s off. What the heck? I don’t expect Boss pedals to be noisy, I don’t know why…

Boss HM2 ——> EHX Russian Muff reissue ——> Fat Sandwich.

When I bypass the HM2 and go into the Muff there’s no more hum. Is the HM2 known to be noisy? I expected it to play nice with other pedals, but it doesn’t seem to.

I use 1Spot for power, I didn’t used to have noise issues before. But I used a battery on the Muff and it still was picking up line noise from the Hm 2. Bunch of other pedals downstream from the dirt. What should I do? Put it in the loop of an LS-2?

Is it an older ACA power pedal? You generally need to either give those 12v, run off battery or daisy chain after a PSA boss pedal.

Oh wow, I didn’t know any of that… it’s a 90s made in Taiwan (I assume 90s, it’s an older one anyway).

Thanks!!
