I stuck a black sharpie in the holes, let it dry and then used fine steel wool to finish them off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gr8fuldodd Posted November 13, 2006 Members Share Posted November 13, 2006 Originally posted by dan-o-guitar Yep, sound just like the United states in the 1800's. No worker rights. Oppresive corporate bullying. Things out of balance. Just like China today, except replace corporations with an oppressive government.If on the other hand, you take the long view, you'd envy the Chinese *people* also. I hate to contribute to the ruination of this wonderfully effect centered threatd... but though you can make some superficial comparisons, there was a little thing called the Constitution around (even back in those days) that really changes things a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did it help you when your organized labor representatives where shot or beaten by Pinkerton men? Let's go back a bit further. How did it help you if you were a slave? Not trying to be confrontational, but a quick read of Chinese history over the last 30 years has very concrete parallels to the rise of other empires. 40 years ago, Mao was systematically destroying millions of people through planned economies. Today's face of China is fundamentally different. Just trying to say that I believe this will be China's century. Economic growth and the creation of a functional middle class will eventually/gradually force a regime change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree w/ that as for the other stuff - yes, the realities of life are often far from the law on the booksbut at least it was there - I think it will be harder for the common man in China to get his due than it was for the American simply b/c he doesn't have the US Consitution to at least try to use Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The forces at work are the same, but there are cultural and political differences that cannot be overlooked. The Constitution wasn't irrelevant to the oppressed laborer during America's industrial revolution, or any other time. It was simultaneously the instrument (albeit a slow one) of his defense against the tyranny of the wealthy, as well as their servants in government, and the product of a fundamental and pervasive American cultural belief, i.e., that human beings have natural rights. It not hard to imagine that but for the Constitution, as well as the lingering spirit that first spawned it, what remains of liberty and democracy in America would have long ago been lost.

The good news then will be for the Chinese people and not just the political/military/industrial caste. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ronsonic B Posted November 15, 2006 Members Share Posted November 15, 2006 Originally posted by lefort_1 Yah see, I look at the board design, as a former engineer and board designer, and I cringe.Everything but the stompswitch is board-mounted: robust it is not.PCB-PCB adapter for the tube is begging for microphonics.The carved groundplane looks cool, but I've seen it causeparasitic noise in many audio circuits.The SMD opamp is WACK, imho, as there's no WAY to swap one out if you wanted to experiment with different opamps, 741-stylee.Just sayin. I hear ya. I fix stuff all day and I've got a real good idea what that unit's going to look like when I get it. Oh well, it does have lots of the advertisable features.

Members mac-guitarist Posted November 21, 2006 Author Members Share Posted November 21, 2006 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION1. Using the classical 12AX7 electron tube to create the splendid distortion tone, rather than any "simulate electron tube" or "acoustic simulator"!2 . Adjusting GAIN, HIGH, BASS can get the full warmth overdrive tone, or smooth ,exquisite, delay SOLO tone, or the heaviest metal tone.3. Powered by AC adapter and transformer that drives 12AX7 tubes to maximum voltage!4. The true bypass mode utilizes PCB relay of both input and output from the signal path to eliminate the loss of power and clarity often caused by other devices5. Heater of tube is powered by DC to avoid the noise of unnecessary buffer stages and preserve the great OTD-100 sound. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gavztheouch Posted September 20, 2007 Members Share Posted September 20, 2007 I have had these for sale in my shop for the last couple of months, they sound great and are nicely engineered. Chinese pedals are usally useless, Biyang are making some great stuff.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=220151835094&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT&ih=012 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
