Come on! everyone knows Jimmmy used a Jennings Mkii on LZ1 & SupershowPhilip wrote:The Captain wrote:Very basically....

All things considered, it's most likely 0C75's(possibly an early small board version!?) that Mr James Page has in his MKII(s).
The branding - Sola Sound MKII Professional on his pedal, the sound - Compressed, gated, raspy, dense etc. Also, I think those early small board versions don't have the inupt cap thingie which stops MKII's from working with Vox/crybaby wahs.
Anyone ever seen an actual Sola Sound MKII Professional with anything other than 0C75's?
Transistor type, which is bestest?

Narp its there 15000pf to boot. Like in most of the Vox MKII's.Electric Warrior wrote:Does it have the capacitor from input to ground? Or is the missing capacitor a "Sola specification" that differentiates the Sola Sound pedals from the Vox and Marshalls?

Re: Transistor type, which is bestest?
Does the missing cap make the earlier "small" board MKIIs brighter than the "big" board MKIIs?

David, where does the OC84 fit in your transistor hierarchy? Thanks!The Captain wrote:
We need an anchor here so I'll throw something into mix for that purpose. This only relates to the original MKII's and what I hear. These are also the extremities that I hear. As in, at the most extreme I'd say an OC75 could be gated. Very basically....
