[sdiy] Possibly OT, advice needed...

Thanks all for the replies.

Found this site <http://www.tonepad.com/customPage.asp?id=2>
which has designs and pcbs of the Rat and big muff that have been
recommended.
They also have a small clone chorus, and a clone of the (boss?) CE2. I don't
know the sound of these.

I guess what I'm looking for is something with the character of the
chorus/tremolo in the Rhodes MKII. The ideal thing would be a little rack
mount, with a stomp switch to select between Distortion and chorus, so I
guess I'll need some amp circuits to balance the inputs/outputs.
A distorted rhodes can sound gorgeously heavy when playing 2 and 3 note
chords - On at least 2 of the numbers I'll be playing a similar part to the
rhythm guitar - kind of an ersatz 2nd guitar. Probably unconventional, but
sounds very cool....

BTW, I noticed that one of the chorus pedals uses a MN3007.
I've got to ask - been wondering for ages. What is it with Harry and BBDs?

Siberia to hide in .....   ;-)
