Nice! So it's the Greatest of All Tone then?

It's getting nice enough I should get out the laser again (no way in h*ck I'm doing that crap even in my garage...)

Thanks to you both! @jessenator, I actually used clear sticker paper for this, which I just got at Michael's. It's a bit easier to use than waterslide decals, but you can sort of see the edge of the sticker, even when you're careful with the cutting and placement. I'm not set up to record demos, but I'd say this is very much in the KoT neighborhood.

Do you know if we can find some protoboard layout of the Phase 45 to fit into an 1590A box, please?

Cool, I really like the raw metal look.

And I learned a new word today!

I'm sure someone like scruffie would know, but I wonder if there's something going on in the rest of the chip contributing to the better SNR over the 3204, and other products in the line. It definitely sounds smoother than my buddy's BF.

The 3204 and 3004 appear to have a small difference in snr (75db vs 87db). Strange that for the same stage count the 3004 is a 14 pin with six not connected, mimicking the 3204's pin out (if you chopped those six off). More complex inner workings?

edit: no, different voltage reqs, for one thing. Nope. Sad.

Just got out in the mail today. Choooooooo this thing cooks! 

Came off of the box a bit crusty, but cleans up. Gonna have to hit it with some CRC and get the right pot lube, because it's unpleasant to touch...

Nice! Is that no-film?

I've actually never built a breaker before. Got a demo of this one?
