Members matt the rat Posted March 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 Needs more NOS transistors. Hm. Hard to find transistors or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Collapse Posted March 7, 2008 Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 Hm. Hard to find transistors or what? I guess so. He discontinued the pedals because he ran out and couldn't find any more. He also screens them for some value. I don't really know what exactly because I don't know much about building pedals, but I know lots of fuzzes used "matched transistors" or whatever. So he's got to find the right transistors, and then make sure they meet his requirements, so it's not like he can just use any of them he finds either.

Members matt the rat Posted March 7, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 yep $300+ Well, that's unfortunate. Anyone know of anything that compares to either one that's still being made? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At some settings the DOD FX-52 sounds sorta like the Zero, but with less note definition for chords. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted March 7, 2008 Members Share Posted March 7, 2008 ICBM is relatively close to the Mayo. The Ronsound Muffs are supposed to be really good, but I've never played one myself. I know at least a couple of people that swear by them, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members matt the rat Posted March 8, 2008 Author Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 Thanks guys. One more annoying question, I swear. I've read that the Mayo/Zero were created to emulate Smashing Pumpkins tones. Is that true? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ronsound Muffs are supposed to be really good, but I've never played one myself. I know at least a couple of people that swear by them, though. Yea I thought that about the ICBM too when I had it. I could get the Mayo to sound almost exactly like the ICBM on some settings but I couldn't get the ICBM to sound like the Mayo most of the time if that makes sense.

Members bradberry00 Posted March 8, 2008 Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 The Baja Tech Custom "DaMOAF" has me very interested too... I'd really love to get a Mayo, but they're hard to find no matter what the price it seems... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members murch33 Posted March 8, 2008 Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 For what it's worth, I've currently got a Mayo, ? Lady, and ICBM. Unless you've got them side by side to compare, the ICBM is probably gonna do what you want if you're after a Mayo. The Zero, on the other hand, is a whole 'nother beast.

How does the ICBM cut through? I really like the idea of having a mid-switch, but the ICBM may be worth a go! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackjack davey Posted March 8, 2008 Members Share Posted March 8, 2008 RonSound HairPie Classic (mod is supposed to emulate a '71 Triangle Muff and rumor has it, was the basis for Jeff Doucette's "Creamy Dreamer" pedal) EarthQuaker Devices (FWIH, a close cousin of the old Green Russians & a good fill-in for a Mayo) BYOC Large Beaver (can get this made to any specs you want, including the Skreddy 3-way toggle to boost mids) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
