Members loosegroove Posted March 8, 2008 Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 I have this pedal that I know very little about. It's a Dyna Soar Lite Fuzz. The only thing I have found on the net is that the chick from Sonic Youth had a "regular" Dyna Soar pedal. It's definitely from the 70's, with C1344 transistors (never heard of these before), built in a Bud Box. If I were to compare it to any pedal, it sounds like a Germanium Fuzz Face with a Tone knob. Anyone know anything about these pedals or does the circuit look familiar to anything else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Seth Bean Posted March 8, 2008 Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 I used to play with a guy who had a dyna-soar Phase Fuzz or something like that...it was some sort of jetphaser or something...but thats all I know..... Thats a really cool looking pedal though btw...i saw your pic of it in another thread and it made me want to look something up on it...couldn't find anything Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members loosegroove Posted March 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 Yeah, it's actually a really good sounding pedal. And it's pretty intriguing since I can find no information on this thing. Maybe someone will be able to chime in with a little bit of information...

Members Boron Posted March 8, 2008 Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 best of luck with that... I have looked several times for Dyna-soar/dinosaur info and drawn blanks all the time, only really looking though cause of the sonic youth connection. I read somewhere about a pedal called the 'Carruthers dynasoar' and wondered if that was it. Not sure. Great that you have one... looks like fun!

Moderators AMZ-FX Posted March 8, 2008 Moderators Share Posted March 8, 2008 Anytime I see a 4-transistor fuzz, I automatically suspect "Big Muff". There also seem to be two sets of clipping diodes at the top between the pots... again suggesting Big Muff. I see 470pf capacitors and some 100k resistors, which are consistent with the BMP. Those transistors would be 2SC1344, which are low noise audio devices. But that's just a wild guess from looking at the picture... regards, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SonicVI Posted March 8, 2008 Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 I saw Urge Overkill back in '93 and one of them had a blue Dyna-Soar. I've never seen another until now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
