I just received some electronic audio parts from Small Bear Electronics in the US.

They are National Semiconductor NOS LM308AH Op Amps and I’m going to use them shortly to build some customized ProCo Rat inspired distortion pedals, with some help from this site:

and a very good friend of mine, whom does both photography:

and also is a member of Robots and Dinosaurs:

and is rather skilled in custom PCB fabrication using a CNC machine….

But in typical etheory style, nothing is going to be standard.  I’m custom designing a stereo circuit board and modifying the pedals so that they can interface correctly with line-level equipment.

Watch this space for updates….  But one thing is for sure.  You’ll definitely be hearing the awesomeness from these custom designs soon….
