BREÑA FX - Совтек T-7

"... is my take on the V7C Bubble Font Big Muff, made at the Sovtek factory circa 1995. This variant is almost identical to the V7 Civil War Muff, known for being more dynamic with less compression, emphasized mid-range and big low end. The name Совтек is Russian Cyrillic script and translates to Sovtek.

What sets this Muff apart from the rest is a newly redesigned original turret layout. My goal was to create a new turret design that would fit inside a standard size 1590BB style enclosure.

At the heart of the Совтек T-7 are the original Soviet, KT3102E (green/white dot) transistors, and KD522B clipping diodes. I only had enough of these mojo parts for a small run, so when they're gone, they're gone.

Other features include a switchable tone stack with two sets of toggle switches (SW1 and SW2) located at the top of the enclosure. This feature independently changes the filter capacitors that determine the cut or boost of mid frequencies when turning the tone knob, giving you up to four different flavors of tone.

All switches down - classic scooped mids All switches up - boosted mids centered at ~1kHz SW1 up / SW2 down - flat e.q. with no mid scoop or boost SW1 down / SW2 up - slight low/mid boost centered at ~700Hz

Features Include:

- Original design turret board - NOS KT3102E silicon transistors - NOS KD522B silicon clipping diodes - NOS tropical fish, film, monolithic, and polystyrene capacitors ... - GØRVA design S90 enclosure in military green - Vintage aluminum Hi-Fi knobs (med/large - asymmetrical knob layout) "
