Everything about that is drool worthy. I think that's the best enclosure i've seen yet.

I was lucky enough to acquire this recently form a nice gentleman who had had it since the early 70's.
He remembers swapping something for it, from a friend while at school. He had used it for a few gigs but it mainly just sat around the house.
A once in a lifetime find, methinks :party:

That's too cool!!! That is the second one of those I have seen now! :badlove:
How many transistors? 2 or 3? Are there any date codes on the pots? Like a "216"...?

Amazing how these pedals find the light of day! ...but just...WOW!! :tu:

I'm really curious to see how this sounds.
Oh, DB? That's just slang for Dandy Big muff collector.
