Members Pothole Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 I scored this Targ & Dinner Marveltone pedal and opened it up to find out it's a first generation Triangle Big Muff w/ the 3003 motherboard...they just repackaged them for Targ & Dinner in the early 70's. After some re-wiring and replacing a couple small parts...she's up and running and sounds amazing. Notice the 3003 and the EH soldered onto the board......

Members Pothole Posted April 7, 2006 Author Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 This article Vintage Big Muff seems to indicate the 3003 motherboard is the Triangle whereas the Rams Head is the 3004 motherboard........interesting this one has the 3003 board yet the knobs are laid out in the triangular fashion..

Members Sir H C Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 My ramshead also has the 3003 board. I think the later ones that have the tone switch have 3004, or maybe they changed some time during the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What board then is in the Triangle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be the same board. I have to open mine up, but the pots are oriented differently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members skr3ddy Posted April 7, 2006 Members Share Posted April 7, 2006 I don't think the triangle had a board number. It looks like this (the one pictured has replaced pots, wires, and a couple non-original green film capacitors...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
