I have an El Musico Loco Siamese Scream pedal on the way. It's touted as an opamp Muff (fixed at max gain) with a separate gain circuit in front of it. It also has Bass/Treble controls. I should have it this week. The box etching looks incredible.

El Musico Loco Siamese Scream - Opamp Muff (Video added)
I pulled this out of my larger Big Muff thread since I think it deserves it's own discussion.

I'm not sure exactly what pre-gain circuit was used.

El Musico Loco always has good etches...but those knobs...are hideous.

I was just thinkin' the same thing. They don't really go with that enclosure.

Yeh i agree.
Reminds me too much of the OEM knobs on squiers and ibanez's starter kit guitars
Probably the same knobs

Re: El Musico Loco Siamese Scream - Opamp Muff + MXR Dist
beautiful enclosure. the idea combines something i love--the MXR circuit--with something i don't like at all, the op-amp Muff. such is life. other people will love it to bits, i'm sure. i'll be running my D+ into my Great Wall and giggling maniacally.

Re: El Musico Loco Siamese Scream - Opamp Muff + MXR Dist
I'm assuming it's based off of the siamese dream tone... if so, then the circuit used was probably the MXR Distortion II. Seen here: http://ironman28.files.wordpress.com/20 ... b14006.jpg
That's what Billy used at least... but due to the lack of knobs it could be a Dist + or maybe a fixed Dist. II.

It's not a Distortion II, nor is it any MXR pedal, it's a simple Non-Inverting Pre Gain Stage.

When you get it can you take a picture of the guts for us? I'm real interested.

Thanks. I like how the picture is detailed enough so I can see the label on the battery, so now I know not to throw batteries into fires, silly me.

Well, my pedal showed up last night and the etching looks even better in person. It's a very cool effect.
Mine has completely different knobs than what are pictured above. I'll post a pic tonight.
I was able to plug in and play for like 5 minutes and so far I like what I'm hearing. The Bass/Treble controls give a very diverse range of tone control.
More to come....
