I Will take some photos ASAP, just got to finish the switches and get the footswitch boxes finished. getting anything fabricated and screen printed has been tricky with covid, but now I should be able to get them finished!

There’s going to be a foot switch model?

Yep, can switch out the slide switch for a footswitch on request, and also the "Ritchie Blackmore mod" and swap out the 100K resistor on the output for a pot to make it a little more like a Si Rangemaster.

Also playing with doing an early Germanium version, but can see why they moved to silicon transistors very early into production to save testing and sorting transistors for each build, as they can be a little noisy (hard to know for sure as there are so few of the Ge units out there, but looks like they were not grounding the enclosures back at the start, so that would have compounded the issue).
