Different ECTs...? Different ECTs!!

Post by Abanoise »

Just taken my second Eau Claire Thunder, thanks to sp3k. In fact, it was for a friend of mine, but he changed his mind just before the pedal landed here. Anyways, I found it SOO different from my other ECT. Not only in terms of graphics (minor differences here and there) or circuitry, but most of all in terms of sound. One is very boomy and closed, with a fat bottom end, really close to my old green muff. The other has a raspy and gainy high end, that is missing in the first one. In fact, they're both GREAT! But in different ways. I've decided to put the first one in my bass pedalboard, and keep the second at home for noisy guitar fun.

Here's few pics:

The only thing I know is that the momentary switch was changed by sp3k.

More orange more orange... I need orange for my car, to give her a raspy high end.

The only change i did was the switch! one thing i noticed, is that the sound really changes depending were the pedal is in the chain.

Crazy! While I hope our stuff is tonally consistant, Im glad youre enjoying the multi flavors....
I'm trying to think if anything was changed in that pedal over time, but I think the only big difference is linear Vs. Audio taper pots on volume and gain.

I find this pedal to be pretty tolerant of resistor variance (12k/10k 20k/22k) that kind of thing, but I suppose if we were working with a batch of "off" resistors the sound could change, too.
