Damn. I dont know if i've ever taken a solder-side pic. I'll try and remember on the next build and shoot one for reference.

BALLS AMBASSADOR.
Silicon fuzz w/BC107Bs. Setup-wise its most similar to a silicon "Mk1.5" Tone Bender. Fuzz is internally set to "up-there". Range control allows for light attenuation of the highs to tame the fizz and thicken up that bottom end. Level is....level. No wheel has been reinvented, just a solid, rip-shit fuzz.










First chunk out the door are available at the low low price of $150.


!!ALSO!! PRF exclusive: If you want to make me a demo (audio or video) of one of these, please let me know.

^ beautiful!

Here's an example. Big Muff board, top and bottom.

Looks like solder, I can confirm!

Yeah, that is the ticket. This porn for use techies, if that is a word or term.

That is damned sharp looking. Nice to see you getting your colorful graphics back up and running. Screen-print? UV?

Dude, if the mood and opportunity strikes you, hearing demos of any of your stuff would be a treat.

Thanks! its UV print. I used to be able to get powdercoat and UV print in quantities of 10 and boy were those the days. I've now gotta get em in quantities of 25 and ao I wind up going the etched panel route for small batch stuff.

Its the worst part of my operation, for sure. I'm terrible at playing/recording well, so I tend to outsource that when I can. I've done it through members of this forum in the past and it worked out great. FM Eliya did some for me of the Balls Deluxe (http://ballseffects.com/distortion/balls-deluxe/) and another FM whose username I forgot (I believe is was Drew Rydberg) did one for the Supercharger (http://ballseffects.com/fuzz/supercharger/).

I sent a Big Balls unit out to another FM for demo but then a pandemic happened and the board died for months and I never got my demo. I think it was someone else named Drew? Not sure of username. If he's around here please hit me up!

Anyway...I asked if anyone wanted to demo the Ambassador but no one spoke up. I just asked a friend if he wanted to do it, but if not that job is still up for grabs...free fuzz pedal in exchange for a demo. HIT A FELLA UP!

I think that I can shed some light on that one.

I had it for a bit. From what I can recall, I sent it to Eliya once things went sideways.

Does that sound anything like what you recall?

That definitely sounds like its what was talked about. I'll ask Eliya!

EDIT: Who knows how to get ahold of Eliya?
