Here is a quick clip of the Op amp BM.
Tone 12 noon, sustain all the way up
and volume about 12 noon.
The first section is with a Strat
and the second section is with a Les Paul.
The amp is a '73 Twin Reverb

I used a 77 op amp Little Big Muff for years. :headbanger:

Killer 1 knob wonder. Very underrated.

That clip sounds really good. :headbanger: How you recording your clips?

I'd be all over this one if I had the cash right now. I just spent a bunch of cash on a load of transistors though. Might need to sell a fuzz or 2 to generate some cash for one of these bad boys. :badteeth:

Thanks Duudz!
I have used to run a studio so I have some nice mics and a tube mic pre.
I just run it into the computer on a $35 behringer USB adaptor and run Cool Edit Pro.
Cheap ass setup recorder wise.

I haven't used a deluxe BM. Can you give me some adjectives? :oldlol:
I was thinking about possibly cobbling one of those up.
Any one else like em?

john i have an old ehx soul preacher i can lend you if you want to hear the op-amp muff + compressor (deluxe bm) sound.

it's a pretty awesome compressor. real raunchy, i guess is how i would describe it.
it has a noticeable volume jump for the sustain but i am kind of into that.

let me know.
