kudos on building your own! hmmm... i have an older Rat from the 80's which is my primary and a newer reissue, that i bought as a backup. the newer reissue to me sounds not nearly as good my older version which has better tone and its more versatile with adjustments to the filter and distortion knobs, on my reissue you get to a certain point (around 12 o'clock) where any more adjusting does nothing, plus it seems to be a tonesucker. so i'm not using the reissue, i'm undecided to either mod it or sell it as is. since my new backup to the 80's Rat is an EH Hot Tubes. |

Holy hell that Ludwig is expensive. The Birethday fuzz's look like diy pedals... |
I wish a company would get permission to begin ludwig phase II production again, They are obviously wanted items.
|
They'd be 300+ though.

Its a newer one with the 12AX7 tubes, i got it used a few years ago and loaned it to a friend... just got it back since i liked it for the short time i used it. keep in mind, the key thing to do in my opinion if you get one of these is to replace those those stock 12AX7 Electro Harmonix tubes... as to me they don't sound as good as Groove Tubes and i also tried a couple of older powerful Amperex and RCA tubes that i found that also make this sucker sing awesome tones. maybe i have some bad EHX tubes but when i put those back in they sounded really microphonic in this unit... and microphonic (shitty tubes) will make the Hot Tubes sound like complete crap. |

yeah i agree about the Ludwig its definitly overpriced and i don't care if only a handful of them exist now, thats enough money for me to buy a decent car to last a good 5 years... and to me that ain't worth the price of a car. i think i've seen one or two other Ludwigs on ebay go for $3,000 to $4,000... not almost $9000 and this is not even perfect w/ a spliced power cable, and missing slider knobs otherwise its pretty sweet. It would be nice but unlikely for a company to pick up on reissuing the Ludwig, as i think it would send the company into bankruptcy as the cost to make a unit like that would surely outweigh the profit to be made on this. not many people could afford a unit like this nowadays which uses hard to find parts/components and labor these days... my guess is that a unit like this if it were remade would surely cost at least $1500-$2500. ------------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems like to me that the Birthday fuzz was initially a DIY project that spawned into the Subdecay product line. |
Yeah, if you were to get one, might as well get the original version and sell it 10 years later for double.

Buuump.

That was a satanic post. |

dude you should build a pedal, it's both fun and frustrating.
|
1- can't be bothered
2- dont have time 3- stuff costs more here, thus buying normal ones is cheaper. |
Come on, say a moving comment

Okay, so I was spying around Shellac's setup, Steve uses the Harmonic Percolator and an MXR Smart Gate, while Bob just goes straight in with only a boss tuner plugged in.
Any info on those bloody amps? |
