The Vibrasonic, would be really cool through the Fender amp of the same name:

And the Creator!!!!
somewhere I have the schematic (I think diystompboxes has my comments about it)

ok, here's my Sho-Sound, made in nashville, Bosstone.
It sounds real dark, and can get nice and saturated.
I love it!
also, after sending my 1 switch Goodrich Steel Driver II to John Lyons, he concluded that it is based on the Bosstone,
but tuned darker than the original. I would agree with that, except it is not as saturated.

Oh, DB? That's just slang for Dandy Big muff collector.

Re: Some Jordan Bosstone information
Those diodes look different than any other Bosstone I have seen. Interesting.

Re: Some Jordan Bosstone information
Nice thread/pics!!
Anyone know about the MSPS 3353 transistors?
It almost looks like the Motorola symbol "M"
and then SPS 3353.
Is this just a house number. I know the usual
suspects for substitutes but I'd like to track down
some of the originals to compare.

Re: Some Jordan Bosstone information
I think it is a PNP device, much like the MPS transistors are Motorola NPN devices. I couldn't find any good information on these transistors, I was thinking some of the other devices that Jordan (or Victoreen (SP?)their parent company) might have them. They did Geiger counters and some other things that might have transistors, so I think they were made for them for those things and also used for the pedals.John Lyons wrote:Nice thread/pics!!

Have to make up the schematic I guess, but this is the general idea.

Mine's a Pasedena
board: IC-0193F
Trannies are labelled M(Motorola?> SPS5006-2 / SPS5007-2 same as Chris' Alhambra model

Dear Bongo, No.
Good deals with all these guys

Thread Bump
Nashville Music City Bosstone///
Pretty much the same layout as the other two posted except the 2nd transistor is a Motorola MPS 4249.
This thing sounds awesome. Just as thick and saturated as the Sho Sound one. There are slight differences but they are very similar.
Also, I forgot there were all of those Jordan Creator pics in this thread!
