Quote:Thanks for the replies. To be frank, I’m not finding too much love for this version of the Muff…This description is it in a nut shell. I decided to seek out the “vintage” tone mentioned in the description above.
You could always click that link in my sig if it’s vintage muff tones you’re after…
EDIT: Never mind. All gone.Quote:big muffs are supposed to be noisy when they are on and not playing anything.Not supposed to be — some are some aren’t
. Quietest muffs I’ve got are a 74 lamb’s head and one triangle. Noisiest were 3034 and the tone wicker. But yes running the muff from its own power supply should help.Quote:I saw the title and thought he was interested in a trade! :nono:That’s a real addiction
AFAIK the case screws (at least on the old ones) are 4 x 1/4 PH PHL Self Tap screws 18-8 SS
Mouser has them

…or your local hardware store (but not mine apparently…I had to buy a bunch off ebay)Quote:Quote:Quote:And what about the 1/128 quasihemidemisemiquaver?I’m not a shredder so I neither care about nor notice those…
Obviously. I mostly just posted that for the sake of absurdity.
I should have added:

Sorry I edited your post (I didnt change anything) I was meant to hit the quote button.LOLQuote:Quote:whats bakelite? im guessing some better kind of plastic? are there any up-sides to lead-free solder?Bakelite was the first type of synthetic plastic ever made. It was used to make everything we make from normal plastic now from about 1910 to around the 1970’s. All the classic teles, strats and les pauls from the 50’s and 60’s had bakelite pickguards and knobs. Its called bakelite because you mold it and then bake it and it hardens and is then pretty much impossible to melt in normal operating conditions. They stopped using it because it was more expensive.
oh and the advantage of lead free solder is that it takes more heat to melt. Which is both its advantage and disadvantage depending on what you want to use it for.
Good synopsis. I hadn’t thought there would be people around that had never heard of bakelite…guess I’m getting old…
The pairing of high temp lead-free solder w/ bakelite is a no brainer. Best of both worlds. Shame they’re doing it with low-temperature-melting plastic.Quote:Who cares if a muff is noisey when your not playing, you dont do gigs to not play or sit down with your rig to not play.All of these are hard to do if your gear is going WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSHHHHHHHHH!
That’s why I don’t like noisy muffs so much.
