From the post
From the captain:
Dig it. Black Dust. The Black Acid pre-set to fold air. Fuzz and drive, wide open. Maximum attack, minimized footprint. Fuelled with the same PCB as the Black Acid, British made Magnatec BC109's, Arcol carbon comps, BC/Vishay capacitors, prime cuts all the way.
For those not familiar with this circuit type it has a very similar tonal qualities to the old Meathead Dark though I'd say a more refined approach with a more traditional overall tone than that of any Meathead. The mids are quite flat the lows considerably boosted and the highs pretty natural and open sounding. Heaviness, it is some.
There were 2 versions, a big box version (older) and smaller (newer).
