French army dreamers

8/31/2000 1:48 PM
jacques	French army dreamers ah! we came to one point. my 'big' solder points are correctly melted down everytime I add a component and I can assure you it is made to look like an old Fender amp circuit. Do you remember them? Open a '52 deluxe or even a '65 deluxe by the way. Well, as I cannot imagine some more beautiful electronic device, I have copied the way they are made.And the solders are generous. This kind of solder have a thickness. come one: I know you are a good tech. How many pedals are sick just because a small solder point on the circuit was broken because some excited singer shoot in the box? On the contrary, how many solders in an old Fender have you ever seen broken? I have wanted my pedal to be SHOCKPROOF from the start, using wire you can bend 1000 times without cutting and these famous 'big' solders inspired of the legendary Fender amps. My solders are big, but clean,shiny and homogene like a tiny flipper bawls. About military, please read my site: This concerns only my Deluxe Fuzz Face. And I only talk about 'military components' and not the military specs evoked in my HIWATT pages. (Funny, my work on Fuzz Faces is inspired on your own litterature, it's a small world.). Marseille,France where I live is a big port.During WWII , every army of the world has been staying here, and mainly marine. One man, my friend and mentor, Mr BRESNER, has decided to buy the huge stock of armies electronic surplus and to make commmerce of it. Unlike other places in the world, ALL electronics that could be found was stocked in only one warehouse. I have at my disposition TONS of first grade electronics devices and parts, all of them made with war specs, and most of them from US and English army from 1944 to 1960' (after this date it is mainly French). I just have to choose what I need, under the wise adviece of Mr.BRESNER. Just as an example, I could sell you NOS in the box GE 5881 tubes and still have enough for my big Fender amp collection. I currently work on English stuff, taking MULLARD transistors from unknown devices and test them in Fuzz Faces. So believe me, I say the truth when I talk about serious military components in my deluxe fuzz face. jacques http://www.ts808.com p.s.: You may be interested in my new found AC188 transistor: It really is PERFECT for Fuzz Face, as it seems to be a scale-down 9v version of the AC128 ( which can take more voltage), has a huge , beautiful sound, and does not need to be sorted: all my stock seem to have the proper gain.
