Hey Larry and Group!

I, too, just got my 490 and built it. I'm leaving it stock! Mine
goes into self resonance at about 4 1/2 which is fine with me. The
range trimpot was tweaked so that the upper frequency limit went just
outside of my hearing (which is pretty high, considering my age)and
allows me to distort the top end of the input. Drives the cats NUTS!

Larry's right, people-this is a GREAT addition to your set-up. I
will definately get a second one. While the 440 has greater range
and a prettier sound, the 490 is VERY useful. The interaction
between the freq and res controls creates a lot of possibilities.
