Germanium Meathead

Re: Germanium Meathead
Let's see if this works? Just got my first digital camera three weeks ago and still figuring out how to take decent pictures...so here goes the porn.
Meathead Deluxe Germanium w/AC176's in Blue Hammerite. Thanks to Sickle for giving me the lowdown on how to upload these - hope they're not too big. A big thanks to Dave & Linzi for making this pedal. I don't have the regular Meathead Deluxe to compare any sonic differences, but this one definitely sounds great.

PS- mrpicard, I'll work on getting those pictures of the Riffdriver & others you wanted. I'll PM you when I have some to send.

If wires are occluded by the transistors in full view, that is a great idea!kb892 wrote: Something like that should be made in a see thru enclosure
And, William, excellent pedal. I want one of those badly!

Re: Germanium Meathead
sorry this maybe but doesn't the PCB
in the Meathead Deluxe Germanium w/AC176's in Blue Hammerite
look almost exactly like the first BYOC ESV Fuzzes?

Re: Germanium Meathead
I think a very small number of Ram Heads and Meathead Deluxes were built using BYOC PCBs a few years ago to fulfill demands to dealers. This prompted Dave to only sell direct and bring in the current wait list / ebay method. Nowadays all D*A*M pedals are build using stripboard.
I think the Meathead is a highly modded and supercharged fuzz face?
Edit: I think that PCB is from the old BYOC fuzz face not the ESV. The higher quality parts that D*A*M use (Ero Vishay caps etc) have since been brought into use by BYOC in the ESV kits.

Re: Germanium Meathead
Nice pics William!
Yup, as mister Tatter says we used the BYOC boards in the narrow box Ram and Deluxes for a very short period.
It did indeed put things into perspective for me. Mass production and the use of PCB's ain't my bag. That's just a personal thing and purely in relation to how we like to do things. Lessons learnt and all that. I'll stick to our snail paced method of expansion and train up a new employee every couple of years. I'm in no rush to conquer the universe

It was interesting to learn that the Meathead is a supercharged FF

Re: Germanium Meathead
I'd be up for a Germ Meathead, or a silly cone one for that matter. I've got some cash stashed for when the next waitlists open.

Re: Germanium Meathead
Can someone do a version of this that says 'soundclips' instead of 'pics'?
