MULLARDS!?! :heeee:


Seriously, good call. I hate LED's too. I like to keep my board to about 5 pedals + a wah. Seriously I love the new Rooster. I hope the omitting of the LED becomes a permanent change!

The Captain wrote:....the Rooster as is was deigned to be used with a power supply, on a pedal board, so to totally eliminate the 'pop' use a DC supply. Bam! It's gone. Part of the pop is also due to the caps wired across the input but engaging and disengaging the switch a few time solves this.

I don't like LED's, never have, never will. I never use more than say 3 pedal at once besides a wah....that is kinda obvious to the point of the geetar being in the mix so wah's don't count in my book, so LED's are just silly shiny things that eat juice from my point of view...but yes, folk use pedal boards and such and do need a million pedals for things I can never imagine so I fit LED's to the pedals that I see fit. The Rooster was always on the line. The MKII and the Meat never had LED's and I always thought the Rooster should be part of that gang. Its old school...you really should know when its on otherwise you are using it wrong....so....

LED gone, Mullards added. Simple :party:
How can I get one of these extraordinary new devices you speak of? Add me to that list! :dance:

I mean the Rooster has always incorporated a germanium transistor. I think it won't be more susceptible to noise.

yep man The rooster killed my keeley cv7003(military oc44)... the rooster is super silent.
I've always used a battery so far... so I was asking if using a dc supplier you needed an isolated output not to fuck all the other stuff on the board.

no, the rooster is negative ground 9v so you're good with daisy chaining it. But I don't recommend daisy chaining anything.

I know the Captain and Sickle do not care for LED's but I really like it on my starlight red rooster, and that kind of sets it apart from other Rangemaster clone boosters along with the added 9 volt tap. :chillin:

I just don't need an LED but I will admit from a aesthetic stand point, I like LEDs and they serve a convenient function. I just wish they didn't make that popping noise. Noise > sight.
