Mean russian distortion
$45 from Ukraine. I just had to have it. Seems to be made from old second hand components. Enclosure is made from thick sheet metal, cut with a torch or something. It smells like an old blacksmith´s workshop. Feet are made from cut off rubber hose. The pedal sounds MEAN - from sharp fuzz to full blown Kill em all 1983 distortion!
Look at the internals - is it a copy of some existing western product or is it just made up by someone at the T34 plant?

Re: Mean russian distortion
No it is not qualitatively done. You buy rubbish. I live in Ukraine, but I do not want that many sellers would think: "I can sell it to Americans or Englishmen they enjoy it!". No! This is done badly and I am ashamed of what someone sold it. I think it should not sound good. Sorry.

pedal looks pretty cool.
actually looks like something someone built in their basement? but you know, a cold dark Russian basement.
could you post a clip?

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

Re:
Thanks! Actually, it looks like its built in prison! Kind of evil feel to it. I originally figured I´ll add a LED or a starve pot in the hole at the top. But I think I´ll leave it as it is to keep the underground/gulag looks.edkoppel wrote:pedal looks pretty cool.
