    Default Reverse Tape GAS

    This doesn't actually work, but Howard Davis in the US designed it and says no problem for him to fix.
    They're usually mega £££ when functional so here's hoping!

    Prof, have you got all your stuff catalogued and photographed? Would love to see exactly what you've got in your collection. A website maybe?
    I'm fed up with people joking about dyslexia. It's not big and it's not furry.

    Ideally I'd like to do an online gallery with circuit/component shots of the rarer ones to help diy-ers. The freestompboxes.org site is collecting as many as it can.

    the mode zero site has some cool soundclips, as do a few others

    I've ordered a bunch of the socketed chips as suggested by the freestompboxes lot, and will be experimenting by replacing them in the order suggested. If that works, then I'll have saved myself an expensive repair.

    The worrying thing about Howard Davis is that he has this thing about reprinting the graphics on old pedals to "recondition" them and thus "raise their value", but I really don't wan't him to do anything of the kind!

    I do not do any reconditioning unless asked to.
