nah sorry, a friend built the insides for me and i just housed it, its based on an Uglyface, 8bit chaotic fuzz

the only soundclip i have isnt very musical, it was for a "noise" contest in another forum :lol: but here it is...
http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=963964
theres alot of knob twiddling going on, and i advice to keep dogs well away when listening to the clip ;)
i should do a more "musical" clip of it at some stage..

What do you think of these?

$485 wooden volume knob

Dynamics are better and overall naturalness is improved. Here is a test for all you Silver Rock owners. Try removing the bakelite knobs and listen. You will be shocked by this! The signature knobs will have an even greater effect…really amazing! The point here is the micro vibrations created by the volume pots and knobs find their way into the delicate signal path and cause degradation (Bad vibrations equal bad sound). With the signature knobs micro vibrations from the C37 concept of wood, bronze and the lacquer itself compensate for the volume pots and provide (Good Vibrations) our ear/brain combination like to hear…way better sound!!
