Just gut shots for now. I can confirm they're better than RI versions of the pedals. I think the pictures of the build quality should speak for themselves.

Oh, you just voided the warranty!
Actually a few different pedals are out there but i just started to serialize them and you got #1 & #2.
#3 and #5 are shipping tomorrow.
Sometimes i just cut up 50 wires and use them. I have no color codes.

Let me know if there's any specific germanium transistors you want. I've got 2n404, 2sb175, Russian, high gain, low gain, medium etc. Also depends on your power supply. The pnp germanium use a positive ground and I set them up for battery only, like a original. I can set them up for a power jack but you need to use a isolated supply, no daisy chain. I do have some npn germanium transistors that would use a regular supply. The shin EI is loud if you turn it up, would overdrive a amp nicely.

Yeah, but needs to be put in a pedal enclosure. They are PNP battery only. I can add a power jack but then you need a isolated supply. I may have suitable npn germaniums to use for neg ground and daisy chain friendly. There's a input cap switch to choose between regular and "sabbath" which gives a fuller deep response. Just got red, black and white enclosures, have to drill them.

Well, old effects circuits used PNP germanium transistors, which are mostly positive ground, such as old cars were. Most pedals are negative ground today, so they can't really be on the same pedal board unless you have separate or isolated power supplies. You can find old germanium NPN transistors which use a negative ground but are nowhere near as common as the PNP types. When transistors went to silicon, early 60's, NPN are more common.
I think JTC-NJ has a good understanding of old style pedal terminology. I just remembered that i have a bunch of 2sb175 Japanese transistors that were supposed to be pretty good in a rangemaster, and i didn't try those yet. Well, after dinner i am going to see if they bias up good and how they sound. I see the Diaz Texas Ranger had a 3 position switch which i didn't know and i have an idea how to implement that with a knob.

@golem Congrats, they look great!
Sorry, I meant to include that in my first post.
@mozz
Original Dallas Rangemaster tone (with early Iommi tone in mind, etc. 70's classic rock) is what I'm after; other switchable options are welcome also.

With this software PM's appear to just sit in your outbox until the person it is addressed to reads it.
Thus that tells you @mozz has yet to read it.
Once @mozz reads it the software moves it to sent.

12:36PM, normally i would be working, but we got friday off due to the new holiday on sat. Nice. Mixing concrete for fence posts right now but just replied to PM. Will post picture here in case any other takers. I had made a few of these but it's not a pedal version just a clone. I have 2 cases left and hopefully the front panel stickers i saved on this computer.
