I used cheap multi layer ceramics for the caps and bc550s. No way near the same sustain levels but still a fantastic one for the collection.

No clipper diodes and and the tone is a treble cutter after the recovery stage instead of basic lpf/hpf before it. So yes, it has a lot of common with the classic, but i wouldn't probably think of this as one of those basic variants we've seen a lot.<br />+mmirosolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02400327798106357876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6847048658257278783.post-66753766596950131152017-07-26T19:45:44.647+01:002017-07-26T19:45:44.647+01:00Depends who you ask :)
