Got one of those incoming (SIlver Apple = expanded WC), will post about how close it gets. And I've seen some WC-clones, so I think scematics are available.

Thanks for the mellow tone love. I'd call it a pretty soft return, but I am building pedals here and there when I have time ;)

i'd love another wolf computer so if the quality is good nowadays i'd happily shell out for new meowlotoanz.
so do you have a wolf CPU that isn't working right?

nah, don't have a wolf CPU at the moment. i think the one i did have was built by Tom, can't quite remember.
i've just had a really bad run of boutique pedals breaking on me for whatever reason so i don't really like buying things without some assurance that everything is secured neatly inside and won't fall apart during shipping yknow.
i think with the mellowtone ones it was like the glue holding the pcb to the enclosure would come off and the board would wobble around, solder joints coming undone etc.

The last run of wolfs had board mounted pots, thus no sort of glue needed. Not sure about my Trumpet. The hi5 mini is questionable though. Theres nothing but a tiny mellowtone sticker somehwat blocking the traces from the enclosure.

A welcome return, although my mellowtone collection has fallen to 1 lone survivor, I'll be looking for more in the future.

Every member of my band has a mellowtone...

Yeah, I'm wanting one of the new Wolfs pretty hard. Like probably 90% of ILF, I had one, but sold and now I'm sad.

Whoa, pretty sweet.

...but what pedal does your drummer use? :snax:





Anyways, after this hand screened batch of pedals, I am hoping to make some things happen the future that I wish happened in the past. Parlor amp, reverb, tremolo, etc. We will see what happens though, I still have to finish grad school :cry:

Ha. I will NEVER do any kind of pre-order ever again?

Trick answer, I'm the drummer now, so it'd be cc/DC :animal:
