Its pretty nice and scooped. I will leave it for a day or so, but I think I'll keep it. It fuzzes up my Muffed solos pretty well.

Another desparate bump...

Any good? '80 made in Japan.

Never tried one, but people seem to hate on the newest version quite frequently...how's it sound to you?

CHOUT · 05.03.2007, 01:12 AM

Just finished my first BYOC pedal, took me about 7 hours total...and worked right the first time!
It's a compressor with the old Ross circuit...sounds really good

king_buzzo · 05.03.2007, 02:22 AM

Cool man, post some pictures

CHOUT · 05.04.2007, 01:33 PM

It looks like this, but the LED is below the knobs...I think I'm just gonna leave it like this so nobody knows what the fuck it is.

This is an old boss phaser so I'm hoping that the sound will be decent. I'm getting im tomorrow and I'll try him out immediately.

I have the newest version and it's pretty versatile. You can recreate the Phase 90 very easily. It takes a while to learn how to use all the knobs properly.

I just ordered the Mighty Mouse kit from BYOC, a Rat clone with 3 settings:

"Throughout the entire history of vintage
guitar FX pedals and their reissues, the
Rat reissue is probably the only one to do
the original justice. So why would you
want to build a clone if the reissue sounds
good? Well....aside from the fact that the
reissue is relatively expensive for a mass
produced pedal, it comes in a big funky
enclosure, and the obvious joy and
bragging rights you get from building your
own pedal, the Rat is the most amazing
circuit to modify. And the BYOC Mighty
Mouse Kit just happens to come with a few
of the coolest mods for the Rat circuit.

The 3-way toggle switch gives you
"vintage", "big boost", and "overdrive"
modes. "Vintage" of course gives you
original specs. "Big boost" lifts the clipping
diodes for a boost with an insane about of
volume. The "overdrive" mode isn't part of
the typical 3-way switch mod that some
pedal modifying companies will do to the
Rat. The "overdrive" mode involves a little
more circuit bending than just changing
the clipping diodes from 1N914's to LED's.
The "overdrive" mode gives the circuit a
completely different flavor from the regular
Rat with LEDs in the clipping section. The
kit also comes with the parts to build to
"turbo" specs instead of "vintage" and a
few other parts to tweak to taste."

The Made In Japan models are believed to be better quality than the current Made In Taiwan models.

Danny Himself · 05.06.2007, 05:27 PM

BOSS is a japanese company, anyway?

king_buzzo · 05.07.2007, 12:30 AM

Don't know... It's just a sub company of Roland which is....something...

Ofcourse.

Are Rats made in china??? On the box of mine it says made in china.

scott v · 05.07.2007, 09:36 AM

WOW Look at this! and look at the price and its crazy!?!?!?!
some of the best pics i've seen of this unit, the infamous effect used on the Washing Machine album...

http://cgi.ebay.com/LUDWIG-PHASE-II-...QQcmdZViewItem

And to change the subject... I scooped up on what I think is a good find the other day for a nice price at a local music store as they didn't exactly know what they had, its a custom made fuzz unit made in 2004 by Subdecay Studios (at the time they were in Washington but now are in Oregon) i'm pretty sure its called "Birthday Fuzz" and only 25 of them were made. Its a precursor/prototype to their newer more elaborate fuzz called the Flying Tomato. They appear to make some interesting units like the Quasar phase shifting pedal which has alot of features more so than most phaseshifting pedals made today and looks to be more elaborate than the Mu-tron Phaser II

the birthday fuzz is pretty basic with no markings, and only volume and fuzz knobs but comes close to sounding like a bigmuff or even better and its also true-bypass:
