I have a Distressor and am wondering if the 1176 will be THAT much different or would I be better off going for the LA2A to start with?!? |
I would do a Drip LA-2A. That will be fundamentally different from the Distressor (though the Distressor can sort of emulate that type of thing), and a vastly easier build than the Mnats 1176 because it's far better documented. I love mine. My 1176 is nice as well, but it was much more of a struggle to get done, and the same is happening to another person here on another thread right now. And you won't get anything like the help that you will doing the Drip stuff.
He also has an LA-2A that has both a fast and a standard type opto cell that you can switch between, which would be pretty nice. The LA-2A thing is really nice, but sometimes you can't use it because the 10ms attack time just isn't quite fast enough.
